I can set up specfic forums to generate an email to me when there's a new post. Can we do the same with new pms?
Thanks,
Regas

In your profile you tick a box somewhere that can alert you for PMs. I know you can also for specific threads, again ticking a box this time when you post, but not sure for entire forums. Will go and check.

Ah! I remembered you can for entire forums. I've got one forum set like that.
Anywya, in your User Control Panel, click board perferences and the option you want to tick is:
Notify me on new private messages:
For individual threads, if you look at the tick boxes below the posting window, the option you want is:
Notify me when a reply is posted
And for forums, if you open it up and down the very bottom of the screen you'll see Subscribe to this Forum.

Check your email address is correct.

Just checked your user preferences. They're listed the same as mine, as far as PMs go, so you should be getting them.

No, AsteroidX. That's just plain, good old fashion, stalking.
