Usually, there is a hard to miss notification in the middle of the screen, that I have a new private message. Plus, there is always the "header," as indicated below.

Hi Zanev,
Firstly, thank you and good job, great site!
The only problem I have is the private messaging which seems to take a very long time, sometimes several days. If you have time to let me know.....am I doing something wrong? can I improve by changing something within my profile settings?.....or is it just one of those things?
Kind regards
Vince

No, we are at the mercy of the horrible mail system set up by this board. Sorry

My exchange of PM's is infrequent, so I wouldn't be aware if I was not getting them.

I am getting the same thing with getting notified of new private messages when I log in but I not getting notified by email of new messages. I checked my settings to make sure of what there are. I have both email and notifications checked for the 'Someone sends me a private message' and according to the first attachment at the top of this page, this is correct. So I wounder whats not gelling.

This seems to be something for zanev (he's not going to be pleased with me for that). He did some work on it recently an it is working for me now. Sorry, not much help really.

I don't know if I'm the only one still affected by this. Sometimes there are days where I get noticed by email for each PM but for mostly it's days that I don't get any notification (even though I recieved PMs).

I have the same problem! Totally hit and miss. I've just come to accept it as the way it is.
