Welcome, from North Carolina! Here is a thread on the new member announcements:
Several people can't get a Private Message when others try to send it to them.
The reason for this is, they don't have their Settings set right and if you haven't received any PM's (Called "Conversations" on our forum software) your present forum Settings might be the reason.
To fix the problem, find the image of a little man in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Hold your cursor over that little icon and a little window will open.
In the left hand column find the words, "Contact Details" and click it.
Now, find the area towards the top that says, "Messaging Preferences".
Just to the right of it you will see two little boxes, one for "Receive Site Mailings" and one for, "Accept conversations from".
Put an X into each box.
In the Accept conversations from area, select, "Members Only".
Now, go to the bottom of the page and poke the, "Save Changes" button.
There! You've fixed it.
To see if you have received any new messages just look at the little Envelope icon in the upper right hand area of the screen. If it has a number in it, you have a Private Message so click on it to read it.
