   how to get notification of private messages?
  hi,i've gotten 2 private messages from people asking for a collaboration between us and i've missed them by a week cause i got no notification and didn't notice the PM thing flashing on the top of the page when i visit.i''ve looked in the control panel, but i don't see a way to get notification of a PM. can someone help?   
  That happened to me too. I had an artist interested in teaming with me but I didn't get notification of his PM until quite a while later. Finally contacting him and explaining the mishap was rather uncomfortable.   ;  ouch!is there any way that the PM feature could be updated?   ;  I have noticed a little strange behaviour with it as well.  On the Active Topics page (or maybe it was the Control Panel - it's been a while) it said "0 New Private Message", yet when I went into the inbox, it showed a new one.  Not sure why that happened.I would be totally in favour of having an email fired off to my email account when I get a private message.   ;Quote:Original post by MoeI have noticed a little strange behaviour with it as well.

I don't believe there currently is a feature like what you've described, and as mentioned, you'd need to hear from a relevant member of staff to know if it's likely to be implemented. I do know that the notification in the upper right (the bouncing "x new private messages" text) doesn't update until you navigate to a second page within the site though, so you'll always get "0 New Private Messages" on the first page you check.   ;Quote:Original post by laserbeak43i haven't seen any feedback from a moderator or anything.I read everything that goes through this forum. I've not replied because I don't yet have anything concrete to say.;  cool was just wondering :Pthanks for watching. has anyone from the dev-team considered this already?how big of a deal would it be to set this up? I could live without the feature, but it would be really nice to get an email if there were private messages.   ;  The infrastructure we have for sending emails is.. well, I don't know how much I trust it, and how much extra load PMs would put on it. It's probably not too bad, but I'd want to check first.
