By default, if you get a new private message, you get no notification other than a message on your screen when you load the board --- for example it will say "Hey XXX, you have YY messages, Z are new. That's located at the very top of the page.
You can set things so you get a pop-up window and/or an e-mail when you have a new message.
Just go to thebiggerbopper.proboards60.com/index.cgi?action=pmprefs to see the options page --- you'll need to be logged in of course to do this.
The other way to get there is to click on "you have YY messages" - then select preferences.
On the screen that comes up - you will see the various options you have. Just make your selections and hit the save button on the bottom.
As a side note --- the pop-up window ---- it only comes up when you load a page AFTER you get the message ---- so if you have a page open already, receive a message, but don't load a different page, or reload the page for 15 minutes after you actually get a message, you won't get that pop-up til 15 minutes after you got the message. Hopefully that makes sense!
