Don't worry for now the original messenger service I created will
remain until August 1st but we have added a new and improved,
easier way to instant message your friends. This feature also
replaces the who's online tool because it is an all-in-one tool
which handles both functions.
Unlike the old IM feature, this one requires no additional sign-up!
If you're a member all you have to do is log in to Paganspace and
you're automatically able to use the IM. Also, each member can
choose to allow incoming messages or to disable any incoming
IM's.
The right hand column which featured the who's online tool, now
features Who's Online & IM. To use the Instant Messaging just
click the persons image. You can also instantly access their
profile page by clicking on the member's avatar inside the message
box which will take you right to that person's homepage.
If you do not want to receive IM's no problem, just click on your
avatar and disable the feature. I made some screen captures w/
information below.
The new IM feature image

To send a member an IM, click on their picture and it will open a
message box (see image below)

If you do not want to receive any messages click on your avatar and
it will open up a box allowing you to receive sound notifications
or to ignore all messages (see below)

If you disable IM's there will be a little "red" dot in the corner
of your avatar which means you are not receiving incoming IM's.
Notice below the image and the red mark on my avatar and the green
marks on the other members.

I hope you all enjoy this new and improved IM feature!
Much Love & Big Hugs,
