    Just out of curiosity, why do so many here have either their PM Option turned OFF/FULL. Twice this week I have needed to contact peeps on this site only to find; they have either not enabled PM or have there box full.

    In my case I have had only one "Newbie" that kept pestering me for info on their problems, and have had about three to four PM's a week from my friends here. Know the limit of fifty is low, but the option to move to another folder is there so no real problem with the low file size. :eek: :rolleyes: :eek: :confused:

    Yea another friend I would hate to lose touch with, and I agree if someone tries to contact me about a Comp Problem, I always tell them to post it, mainly because I know there are more knowledgeable peeps on here than me, and it is always better to have more peeps working on the problem:)

    How do you know if it is full or turned off? Does the PM bounce back to you?

    Errm no it doesnt bounce back but to easily check if yours is on just click your user name and the list should mention "Send private Message to ********" if its their your PMs are on if not they are not.

    I have no problem leaving mine on with MG's!
    Have only ever received positive messages of thanks and the like, nothing ever bad!

    Plus i've always had this underlying fear that MA may find the need to tell me to 'butt-out' and go to bed!
    I don't check my outlook inbox much these days...heh!

    Regards...

    The fact that there is an ON/OFF option on PMs means it is a choice, which means every user has a right to a choice. If it peeves you, it's still a person's right to choose :)

    Inbox full? yeah...it happens.....some of us get more than 3-4 a week ;)
