Private message-new tool.

Is there really a new tool that must be downloaded here (FTE) to view PM's or is this something like spam?
I have gotten this message several times recently. If it is legit, PM'ers, give me time to deal with the download and I will get back to you.

From what you describe, it's spam.

Nothing special to view PMs.

I have not heard about anything like this. I WOULD NOT download anything.

Gonna pass this up the line and see what's what.

Back to the top so David will hopefully see it and respond.

Thanks for looking into this, Tim.

It is an advertisement. It shows up under the search banner and on the left side of the screen beside the posts.
