I don't think we use that function here, It's just a part of vBulletin. I'm not a member of any...

Maybe someone else can answer better than me, but I think it is a feature of the forum software that we just don't implement here.

It would be good if it was implimented. Mabey if you upgrade the forums you would include that feature?
