A private message is a communication that you make to another member to talk to them about something that you don't want to talk about through the public areas of this forum.
<a href="pms.php">Link to the PM (Private Message) System</a>, otherwise accessible with the green "" link at the top of the home page, or through the <a href="profile.php"><img src="images/top_profil.gif" alt="profile" border="0"></a> page, at the bottom of the lit.
Clicking on the
button at the right side of the screen, just under "", will allow you to send a message to someone that only they will be able to see. Other than the "To:" box, it is almost identical to the screen you get when posting a message to the forum.
When you are done writing your message, there are a few similar options at the bottom of the screen as there are at the bottom of a post screen, except for one option: "" Putting a checkmark in this box will save a copy of the message you are writing into your Outbox folder, which you can access via a dropdown box at the left side of the screen at the main PM system pag.
By default, email notification of new private messages is enabled in your profile to let you know when you have a new private message, but it can be disabled if you wish, by going to your <a href="profile.php"><img src="images/top_profil.gif" alt="profile" border="0"></a>, then to <a href="profile.php?mode=editoptions"><b>» Edit Options</b></a>, then changing the radio button from yes to no next to the
PM Notification? item.
