i cant easily see how to tell if ive got new pm's..... is there a way of personalising the view to show your inbox etc when you sign in? also i think all the pm's in my inbox are showing as "unread", is there an easy fix for this?
many thanks for any help... and a big thank you to all involved in the move... must have been a logistically nightmare!

Hey, hon.
You can do almost all of your personal experience through "My Profile" at the top left of the screen.
Go into your "My Profile" and click on "edit options". From there you'll see a "Private Messaging" Category:

Private Messaging
This forum features a private messaging system, which allows members to send messages to one another privately.
If you do not want to send or receive private messages, you may disable the private messaging system.
Enable Private Messaging
You may limit the receipt of private messages to just moderators and your contacts. Other members who attempt to send messages to you will be told that you have disabled private messaging.
Receive Private Messages only from Contacts and Moderators
The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message.
Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages
If you are browsing the forums when you receive a new private message, the system can pop-up a notification box informing you of the new message.
Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up
|
One of these options has a click where you can receive a pop-up notification of a new email. That's what I use with this system. It's what alerts me to a new PM without watching the PM count or actually going in to check physically (since we don't have a flag here as we did at the old forums). You might want to do that until we get something better or get used to it?
You can also elect to have an email sent to you of your private messages.
Everyone:
Please go into your "My Profile" page first and look at *everything* it has to offer and make it personal to your wants and needs, then if you can't find something or have a problem changing it, let us know.
Thanks!
