Yes you posts are visible! to the HUBB. You need 5 posts in order to send private messages.

Why not just ask/reply to post in this public forum? PMs are for stuff that is private. When somebody sends me a PM asking for information that they could just as easily ask for on this public forum (or search for: using the search function at the top of every page), I suggest they ask publicly. There I can choose to reply if I wish, rather than being "obliged to" because somebody contacts me privately. And you're more likely to get a good answer, because I won't necessarily know the answer.

I've taken the opportunity to delete some of your posts where you're just testing the software and aren't asking/replying to specific travel/vehicle specific questions. It will help others to find what they're looking for.

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/faq.php

It also helps if the subject line of a post makes it clear what the the thread is about.

If you click on your own name in a post, there's the option to see other posts you've made. You can see if anyone has replied, in the case of your question about the Mongolian festival, nobody has: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...le-leave-75910
The Northern Asia section is better for Mongolia questions, rather than "Travellers seeking Travellers"

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
