PM Notifications

Several have inquired lately if there are problems with the forum Private Message notification system. The answer is no, apparently not. But there are several things to consider regarding the successful notification and receipt of PMs.

The system allows multiple settings in your User CP (Control Panel) as pertains to the notification and receipt of PMs. You may elect to either:

1. Receive no PMs at all (other than those from Admins and Mods).
2. Receive PMs, but with notification only via the "Welcome" block at upper right.
3. Receive notification of PMs via a pop-up (you must be logged in and enable pop-ups from this site in your browser settings).
4. Receive notification of PMs via email.
5. Receive notification of PMs via both #3 and #4.

In any case, you should, at minimum, see a notification that you have a PM as in #2. It is up to you to monitor.

The most popular is option #3.

Please visit your User CP to make sure your PM settings (in Edit Options) conform to your personal preference, bearing in mind that the least invasive settings require the most active attention on your part to insure timely notice and receipt of PMs.
