Notifications/Private Messaging Not Working?

[saint007]

First, I apologize to all those that I did not respond to. I do check my notifications and I get the "no new messages" every time. For some reason this morning, I checked my Junk Email on my home computer and there was a slew of notifications regarding my Estate find of last week!

I sent you a test PM.

You have to use the one on the right hand side of the forums page instead of the one up top .

Igloo, when you say use the one on the right hand side, I see a Visit tab which doesn't take me to Notifications. What am I missing?
Thanks

Are you checking here? Or, the notifications at the top of the page?

Thanks Cosmic!

Good tips! Although I believe everything's been working fine for me, I'll now keep an eye on my junk mail.

Having the website notifications completely separate from the forum notifications is just one of many examples of how this forum isn't the user-friendliest around. I'm on several free forums run by amateurs with lots less traffic than this place and they're all more user-friendly.

I imagine that the volume of traffic that this site gets makes having all of those features more cumbersome. So many people sign up, stay for a few weeks and then leave.
