Hello all Newbies:FYI,make sure you check that you have authorizied PM's and emails to your home PC or laptop etc. Go to user cp on the heading, under control panel ,scroll down to setting&options first go to email edit options and make sure you put your email address in the appropiate box so you can be notified when a SSR member has sent you a PM,you can go to the forum to reply etc.
Next scroll further down to edit options,there you will find the area where you must check a given box,inorder to recieve personal PM's from other members. I am not sure if this is the problem,but I highly suspect that it is with new members.Good luck!

Hal
