    Click on the link that says 'Private Messages' in the top right hand corner of this page.

    When you have a new message your doorbell will ring.

  • new members may have to wait until their post count increases before private messaging privileges are activated. (because of a spate of cretins)

  • a rash of knobbers

  • a wave of cockflange

  • But that could just end up encouraging potentially good members to spam threads up for the sake of increasing their post count in order to activate privileges. In other words it is dumb. I should have spread that statement over 3 posts, then I would have a higher post count.

    Doesn't sound like that'd be a good member to me? In fact, perhaps the opposite. More like a Shinscar type of member. ;)

  • Good members wouldn't do that.. anyone who does that is cockflange and will be beaten to death with raw sausages.

    Good point. A new member wanted to buy something off me but I couldn't PM him.

  • just do the talking in the open forums, or email each other!

  • What's "email"?

  • Good members wouldn't do that.. anyone who does that is cockflange and will be beaten to death with raw sausages.

    I said "potentially good", this potential goodness is corrupted by their frustration at not being able to send a PM, thus transforming them into a cockflange.

  • Ta! That explains it, I was trying to PM you Mr. Lpg.
    Sent an email instead, better get postin' I s'pose...

  • Anyone else having problems with PM's not popping up? I used to get a pop-up box stating that I have a new message, but I don't seem to get these any more, or I sometimes do/sometimes don't. The only way for me to see if I have a new message is to go to my User CP, which I wouldn't normally do unless I have a reason to, meaning I often get PMs 2-3 days late! :(

    Using Opera/Firefox/Safari.

  • Tried checking your user CP settings?

    Edit Options > Messaging & Notification > Private Messaging > " 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"

    ^ Make sure that's ticked.

  • Best to never open any Private Messages (PMs), as inevitably (as almost said below) those messages are about an unhealthy love for you, or threatening the death of you. Also, never accept any friend requests, as these are internet grooming tools, and the senders will ask to meet you in a park late at night, or a supermarket carpark at 2am.

    I thought this was about Paul Michel. How do I see him?

    Off hand, I'd say start here. I find he has such a unique syntax, that its very easy to locate him. Plus, he does give the odd clue.
