PM link

[mar]

Hey mods here's an idea, how about a link / button to the PM boxes. I had to send myself a PM to get the link over to there so I could respond to one I already read.

Maybe tuck it under profile or Members so it does not clutter too much.

Hi Mark
I'll look into it after bit (kinda busy right now)
but until then, all you have to do is click on the persons name who you want to send a message to. That brings up a box with some of their info, and a link that says "Send this member a private message".

There is also a link at the top of the page here that says "Hey, MAR, you have 0 messages, 0 are new.
05/18/04 at 11:52am"
If you click that it'll take you where you need to go as well.

I am used to looking for that link stating how many PMs there are but in the last revision of the site I lost it.

I don't nomally use PM on this site but someone M'ed me, I read it, did not respond to it then forgot who it was.

There are a few differences in how my computer (I run Opera 7x) displays the site vs. one using IE. Such as that great column where it shows the last post date and what thread it is in. I have it on Opera but in IE it flashes and goes away as the page loads.

I'm trying to find my Personal Messages too.

I hadn't thought of PMing myself...
There is nothing in the "Help" section on PM function either.

It'd be nice if I could get an email notification when someone PMs me.

Maybe you should have a look ant Invision Power Board

Here's an example:
www.maximum-suzuki.com/ibf/index.php?s=38e277823ffa3c99876b1fe32ee7e8e3&act=SF&f=4

Here's the software's URL:
www.invisionboard.com/

There are others that I like as well, but that is one I'm used to (I'm Mark 42 on the msg brd above).

The link to PMs is at the very top of the page....directly under the IZ banner.

It says "Hey, (your name), you have 0 messages, 0 are new.
06/22/04 at 09:43am"

After you go to the link, you can go into preferences and set it to send you an email notification when someone PMs you.
