PLEASE READ - PM's (Private Messages) and Pop-up Blockers

Dave

A lot of people send me PM's (Private Messages), I spend hours a day replying to these and sending off replies to only find that people don't read these, or even check their Private Messages.

Please note.

If you want to ask a question privately, and send a PM, make sure you check back on a daily basis your Private Messages. You can click the "You have no new messages" link at the top of the main forum page.

When you receive a new PM (Private Messaeg) you will see a pop-up notification, but if you use a pop-up blocker, then you won't, so check back often!

I have messages in my outbox that haven't been picked up by people who have asked me questions since last year, that's over 6 months old, so in the next few days I will be deleting all the old PM messages that haven't been read, so please check now if you have been waiting for an answer!

This might be obvious, but what is the difference between my PM "Outbox" and "Sentbox"? I have a couple of messages in each, but as far as I'm aware I "sent" them all.

If the message is still in your 'Outbox', it means that the recipient has not yet looked at the message; if it is in your 'Sentbox', they have.

It's similar to a 'Read' notification in Outlook, in that it only means that the message has been displayed on the recipient's computer, not necessarily that they have actually read it.
