Setting PM Preferences

[Linda]

This will allow you to be notified by email or alert if you have a PM waiting. Click on PREFERENCES in the Private Message Panel and you will see the following choices:



Notification
Do you wish to have an email sent to you when a private message is received?
No/Yes

Would you like an alert box to notify you when a new private message has arrived?
No Yes

[Julie]

I need help. I've done what you suggested and I still am not getting email notifications. Here is what I've checked. This is right, isn't it?

"Notification
Do you wish to have an email sent to you when a private message is received?
NoYes

Would you like an alert box to notify you when a new private message has arrived?
NoYes"

Then I clicked "Save preferences"

Yes - that's set correctly for Private Message notifications -- should get a pop-up box, as well as an e-mail for every PM you get here.
If that's what you're aiming for, and it still isn't working --- try logging out, then back in.

If you're wanting to get alerts about new replies to a thread, that's something totally different.

For that, I believe all you can do here is to bookmark the thread when you reply to it ---- but that system doesn't work as well as it should to be honest. It has a tendency to un-bookmark the thread when you reply again to it.

Here we go.....

OK - I checked. Didn't think so, but it's optional.

Go to thebiggerbopper.proboards60.com/index.cgi?action=managebookmarks

(The link is the same as opening your bookmarked threads, then hitting the link to manage your preferences.) Then you'll see the needed options.
