What is the PM system?
-It is a messenging system for the forum. Kinda like Forum Email.

How do I PM someone?
-At the bottom of everybody's post, there is a button labled PM. Click on the button to PM that person.
-You can go to Inbox > Compose New Message.
-You can go to the person's Profile and on the right side it'll say "Personal Message: Click Here." You click there to send them a PM

How many PMs can I have?
-You may have up to 500 messages in your Inbox/Sent folder. Some may have higher capacity due to their user group. (VIPs and Gmods/Admins have unlimited)

Can I track the messages I send?
-Yes. To track a message, click the box next to "Track this message?" before you send it. The box will be located right above the "Send Message" button.

How do I see the status of my tracked messages?
-Go to Inbox > Message Tracker (located on the left hand side under Messenger)

Can I unsend my messsages?
-If they haven't read it AND you set it for tracking, go to tracker and mark that message and delete

How do I tell how many new messages I have?
-Next to the Inbox link at the top of every page (next to My Controls) you will see a Parenthesis with a number in the middle (like this (2)). The number in the middle indicateds how many new/unread message you have.

How do I make folders for my messages?
-Click on Inbox > Edit Storage Folders. In the second half of the page, you'll see 3 empty boxes. Fill in the box with the name of your new folder like (Junk Mail, Requests, etc).

How do I delete my messages?
-Go to your Inbox. On the far right hand side, you will see an empty white box for each of your messages. Click the box for each message you want to delete. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "Delete selected messages." CAUTION, there WILL NOT be a confirmation screen after you click that button. So DELETE means DELETE.

How do I move my messages?
-The same process as to delete them, but instead of clicking Delete, you select where you want to move it (inbox, sent, etc. located next to the Move To button) and then click Move To.

Can I archive my messages?
-Yes. Click on Inbox > Archive Messages and set up your preferences.

Can I send a member an Email?
-Yes. You can do so by clicking Email at the bottom of their post, Going to their User profile and clicking "Click Here" next to Email, or going to Members (located at the top of the page) and clicking Email next to that person's name.

Are my emails completely private?
-No. An Admin like myself can read sent messages. So don't write anything you wouldn't want me to see.

What if I recieve a harrassing/flaming email/PM?
-It would be best to forward or take a screenshot of that message and show it to a moderator or an admin.
