Just putting this up for people unfamiliar with the Private Messaging system on the board:

This board has the PM function enabled, allowing you to send messages directly to other members. Once you have sent a message- you can verify if the recipient has received and read it by clicking on your "Outbox" button. If the message is still there- the recipient has not yet logged on and read it.

If a recipient's "Inbox" is full- a sent message will return back to you. So, anyone who's inbox is filling up should remember to empty it in order to receive new messages.

PMs can only be sent to one other member at a time. A limitation of the software on the forum is that you cannot send to, or separate multiple recipients, at once with a semicolon, comma, or anything else. Unfortunately, if you have the same message to send to 3 people, it must be addressed to each individual user, one message at a time. If/when a software update comes around to change this, it will be installed.

Depending on the Security Settings for online content in your Web Browser (for example, IE6.1), if they are set too high- the pop-up "You have a new Private Message" box may be blocked. You can also look on the main forum page/index near the top left below all the banners to see if you have any new messages.
