Very happy to. :)


ASF's Private Message system has several options that some members may not be aware of.


You can find all these options in the Edit Options section of your User CP. Just scroll down a little to the section titled "Messaging & Notification". The options are listed under "Private Messaging".


The first option simply allows you to disable the entire Private Message system or to enable it if you currently have it disabled. The PM system is enabled by default.


The second option allows you to decide whether you will permit all ASF members to send you PMs, or just moderators and those on your Buddy List. As most ASF members probably do not maintain an active Buddy List this option probably wont be relevant to most members.


The third and fourth options relate to PM notifications.


The default notification is simply a bold number in the "Members" box towards the top right of your screen which indicates how many unread PMs you have. However, you can also be notified in two other ways.


The third option enables email notification. This send out an email to the address you have listed as your contact email here at ASF every time you receive a PM. This is very handy for those who may not visit the forum every day but would like to be made aware of the receipt of a Private Message.


The fourth option enables a PM notification box that pops up on the screen and must be clicked in order to continue every time you receive a PM. This is instant notification and ensures that you never miss a Private Message.


The PM system is a very useful feature here at ASF, so be sure to customise it to your personal preferences and make the most out of it. :)
