I'm not sure how many of you use the private message function here on the website...but if you do, you may want to read this!

Your private message tool has TWO boxes, inbox and sent items...each user is limited to roughly 70 messages TOTAL...so if you are getting a lot of private messages (PMs) and not responding, you can very well flood your inbox out of commission.

Your inbox and sent items folders DO NOT automatically roll over or delete items, you MUST do it manually!!! Keep an eye on how many messages you have by clicking "Settings" at the top right of this page and then "Inbox"...scroll down and you will see a Red/Yellow/Green bar under a tab titled "Folder Controls".

This colored bar gives you a brief overview of how many messages you have accumulated...once it turns completely red, you can no longer send/receive messages...

To resolve the problem, simply delete some older messages and create some space!

Remember, each time you GET a PM and therefore reply...you have thus created another message to block up your space...a simple conversation going back and forth a few times with another forum member can easily total up to 10 or more messages...

Just be cautious, if you suddenly stop receiving messages...this might be the problem! Happy posting!
