i agree w/those who wouldn't want this feature, like it was pointed out it can be used by scammers if you even look at an expensive domain thread, i was targeted on NamePros at some point, lots of people are on a regular basis, i've passed on bidding on good names if some sellers are concerned about transparency and won't take bids by PM, reputable sellers would normally not engage in shill bidding so this should not be that great a concern if you have a good record and we should not base our buying price just on the last offer, public or not, in any case - if i'm selling and someone questions whether i got some PM or made it up then sellers should be ready to deal w/this
what we read or search is nobody's business except perhaps for internal tracking set up by DNF which only onwers, admins & mods could access iin cases of suspected fraud for instance, it is a privacy issue but besides, we'd all be more self-conscious of searches, etc, ie i might search a term and i could be led to a thread or post i wouldn't have even looked at had i had the choice, therefore misleading one's prefrences or interests, the same goes for a temporary record of views & who happens to be reading a thread in real time, although this last one i've seen activated on other forums
BTW, it is still available under OPTION SETTINGS ? i couldn't find it, anywhere, i wonder where exactly it is and whether it can be set to one's choice...
