I am enjoying this website a lot and just took advantage of the BOGO sale. But I need this website to go to the next level where we can Direct Message each other (if there is a way please let me know). That would be lovely to connect with others around the world as opposed to waiting for them to log on and maybe see the thread.

It's hard enough to shut down exam disclosure out in the open … this site has a lot of eyes on it.

There won't be DMs.

How about a notification system where if you @ someone they get an email letting them know they were mentioned on a forum? I was not thinking of exam disclosure information since they change every individual exam it would be difficult to even get an exam with similar questions.

I have an option where people can subscribe to a thread – but it wasn’t allowing people to stop getting the messages and I was getting complaints so I disabled it.

Probably because everyone in the thread would get the notification. That would be annoying…this is a great way to network aside from being a support group for one another but makes the networking with one another difficult when relying on them to log in to hopefully still see the thread in the recent.

I’m not big on the networking thing through this site – I want zero liability if something goes wrong with an offline meet up.

It’s a message board for studying for the cpa exam – and then people move on…like they have been doing for almost 9 years, and I’m good with it serving that one purpose.

I understand…I just was thinking of ways to develop the site. I have some experience with this at my old job with a university I worked for and was able to create something where users can connect off the website (not in person) just through email. The liability side I believe was understood in a waiver form so the university could cover their arse.
