How to see all your Private Messages

We have had a number of members who, although they may know how to send a PM (Private Message), they sometimes are not sure where to find their own Private Messages. Here's how to find them:

1. If you log onto the forum and go to the Home Page, where it says " Welcome back______"

2. Click on where it says '0 NewMessages' (It may say '1 New Message' or more) but whatever it says, this will take you to your 'Inbox' (It will be titled - View messages: Inbox) to see your messages.

When you get into your Inbox, you will see a list at the side (see below) and you will be able to click on anything you need to do or see:

Compose message
Manage PM drafts
Inbox
Outbox
Sent messages
Rules, folders & settings

Hope this helps.

Hi Paul on your messages at the top right it says mark, tick the ones you want to get rid of then scroll down to the bottom where it says Mark/Unmark this is a dropdown box the second option in the box is delete just click on that then click go and it asks you to confirm the deletion.

Please look in your private messages everyone. There are a number of people who do not pick up their private messages - I have 6 in my outbox that have not been opened.


Thank you.

AH! - I think that the answer to a question I was going to ask is implied by what you wrote Jan (I have 6 in my outbox....)
Is it the case that PM messages sit in the outbox until they are read by the addressee?
