Caroline i dont for one mniute think that you, April, or Patti and any of the new mod team would or can? This is no coincidence if Grahame could back then whats changed? You have to understand the lead up to this post to have any suspicions? Really sorry Patti for going off topic but this is worrying. I nearly gave sensitive information away via pm.
Hi justice I must emphasise that I have never actually read anyone's pm's. But it was possible. The administrator then whose name I forget, but he had nothing to do with the forum only the technical side of it. He told me that it was possible if you go into the database. But he told me never to touch the database in case I messed it up. Knowing me I probably would. But that is the way to read any emails or pm's.
On my own forum also it was possible on signforums.com. There again it was possible, but there again I did not do so. Only the Admins can get into the database. But I doubt very much if any of the admins here have ever done it?
It is more likely that someone has talked to someone else about a pm they received from so and so than it is for so someone to read them as an admin unless they are (1) unethical, or (2) technically minded.
