    Hi and Welcome

    With you mentioning this I would just like to give you a heads up as Majorgeeks does not condone the illegal downloading of media be that movies, music, software etc so while Torrents and P2P is not illegal there are specific media that is, and we take a dim view of those that post about this activity.

    Hello and "Welcome to MajorGeeks", carlos140

    To add to what DavidGP said -
    *You could also add downloading torrents as being potentially hazardous to your pc's health.

    This is a good read: How to Protect yourself from malware!

    Be Careful!! Downloading torrents is potentially hazardous to your pc's health.

    I've had hard drives infested so badly I've had to clear them - twice! Best to buy original, guys!

    Ok, here's a really silly question, how do I enable PM's? I've looked everywhere, can't find it. Point me in the right direction?

    Greetings, carlos140, and welcome aboard.

    There is a minimum post count requirement for Private Messaging - I think it's 50.

    Yes, thx. But how do I enable pm's? Mine's closed, do you know where I can open it? The board says to go to options, - can't find it.
