I feel like a site-navigation idiot, but I can't figure how to get to my PM's. When I open the forum, for a fraction of a second, a box at the top appears saying I have 2 PM's, then it disappears being replaced by another box with home, help, search, and member selections. At the bottom of the page, in the Info. Center, it also shows I have PM's. I've been all over the site and can't figure how to get to them. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Larry

I see where it shows I have PM's in the Info. Center, Fuzzy, but I don't see anything to click to get me there.

Well, a big old Duh to me. I hovered over the 2, in number the of PM's, and got it. Thanks Well, it is certainly not obvious. I only tripped over it myself. Then, I forgot that I had got in that way and couldn't figure it out again a second time, but tripped it over it once more! So, I get the biggest old Duh! After that though, I started to remember!! It could certainly be more obvious - that would be quite helpful. It is not entirely intuitive to think to hover over the number of posts - it looks informational. Oh well. Ya got in! |

yeah, I went through the same thing a couple of times now. It isn't the most intuitive, but it works.

This forum can be a bit clunky.. but I like it. I prefer the older "you got to drive them" type of vehicles and even prefer wheel guns so the basic model works for me..  |

Well, I had to look up 'wheel guns'. Prissy boy from Canada ya know. Gotta admit - some of those S&W revolvers sure are perty in a compelling yet dark sort of way. I imagine I would be a wheel gun sort o feller too if I was a shootin kind a guy. It is a good point re this forum. Feels a little like an older, simpler sort of beast. yeah! |

I know I'm an idiot (she told me so) but I can't find the information box.

I can't find the information box. Click the Home tab at the top of the screen  and scroll to the very bottom. There you will find the Info Center. One of the items says "Your Personal Messages:" to read your messages, click on the number that it gives. |

Hi, I am quite new here, so I will try and not be too big a fool.
I like the overal look of the forum, but, there are a few things you may or may not want to do different. I run my own forum with proboards , so I am familiar with the layout. someone who doesn't know the layout may be lost. for example. at the top left side of the message boxes is the path to the message and a clickable link backwards. With the background, you can't see that.
Also, the menu at top does not show the Hey ,Eddie ,you have 1 message, 1 is new.
That is my primary method getting to my inbox on my forum.
