I was aware of that reasoning. It's like saying your email Inbox is not private because your postmaster could theoretically read it.See post #59 for the reasoning.

The problem is that the software is what calls them Direct Messages, not the admins. It's XenForo's term, we just use it. Changing it is likely non-trivial and even more likely to just break should we ever do an update.As I've said before, wouldn't it be better to stick to standardized forum terminology and call them "private messages" and not "direct messages"?
I think you have not understood the situation. The name "Direct Messages" is a customization done by the admins of this forum. Feel free to re-read this thread and get acquainted with the situation.The problem is that the software is what calls them Direct Messages, not the admins. It's XenForo's term, we just use it.

Feel free to open a ticket on XenForo's forums that they should have configurable labels, then, perhaps, if they do that, we can change it then.
Ah, so it is. On the other XenForo, it's called "Conversations".I think you have not understood the situation.
This Direct Message thing is a lost crusade, creates confusion, and disregards users' learned skills.

That reasoning holds no water.
Is there any way to disable the automatic smiles?

Do you mean remove it? Or make sure it works?How about the ": )"? That's the one I use most. Thanks.
Please remove it. Thank you.Do you mean remove it? Or make sure it works?
Yeah I tried that... but still refused to work. It's very strange.Others have mentioned the search feature not working well. I believe a few have suggested using wild cards such as "ADM*" might work better.
