Twink, on the “latest posts” page, upper righthand corner you should see highlighted “you have mail” or “new posts to you”. Just click on them. You will see private messages to you in the mail function. You can send private mail by clicking “compose” in upper righthand corner of mail page. Is that clear as mud?
LOL! I’m completely dense when it comes to some things. This being one of them. I saw the messages in mail but didn’t know how to reply in kind. I figured out how to reply to messages on the board and work the “new posts to you” thingy, so I get a star for that :) I’ll check it out more. I did read all I could here before making my first post. Still not sure about the mail function so it’s still mud to me. Thank you :)
