Is anybody having difficulty with that feature, or am I doing something wrong?   If I hit the PM button it says PM sent from someone to you, but all that shows up in that field are my outgoing messages.   No incoming.   Vass is loss???

Capt,

I don't even see a PM section! Do you mean the section that has your email/Yahoo/ICQ addresses? If yes, the user has to set that up so that they can be reached.

Lets see, sent 3 messages though and 1 got to the address. Other could have got to the Spam box. Who knows?

Gee, Cap'n Bob, you've got something there that I don't have!  AHA, I do have it; but only on the reply screen, not on the initial forum screen.

Good question!

William, Where are you looking for these new PMs ? Its in the general toolbar links above
 
I only noticed the link bar after just clicking the FORUMS link on the general toolbar above, before entering into any of the magazine forums, its at the end of these toolbar links, says PRIVATE MESSAGES. click that and it should take you to the PM section, its like a second forum.
 
 
 

   Have fun with your trains

Hi Ian ,

I have sent you two private messages , I wonder if we are all having the same problem. I checked my messages and I can see what i wrote to you, but maybe It did not reach you.

Cheers Dennis From new Zealand.
