Usernotes are half the reason I spend so long logged in, those and PMs. I mean some things are a little too private for the open chat or usernotes and not everyone is on my msn list lol. I love recieving them and always find time to post one for them even if it is a bit crap or just "Random Usernote back to you" or something but it often takes me a few days to get them done, so if you leave me one and it's not like 10 mins later give me a chance ok. I post some to people like Levian and Shlup but I get no replies which makes me gobut I get plenty from people like, Xander and Psy.
I agree though about usernotes, maybe we ought to put a link in the quicklinks to them? I do however bookmark the first page of the ones from important members (well the important ones in my perspective) I have a little folder called "usernotes" from there it is easy enough to click last or the page number and read up and post one or two.
