Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new around here and yesterday I received an e-mail informing me that I have a new private message on Pentax user - But I don't! Unless it's somewhere other than "my messages"

Any ideas?

Great forum - still finding my way around at the moment!
Cheers,
Duncan.

Could be that someone sent one to you and then deleted it before you could read it.

I'll demonstrate - do a few refreshes to see the alert, but don't open the message.

You cannot send Private Messages until you have been a member for 30 days.
Best regards, John

Surely that is not relevant in this case.

It's relevant to any new users who may not realise that.

Since when is it so ?
I remember the time, when it was possible to send PM as soon as you became a member.

True, but the user's question was about reading PMs which had been sent to him and had nothing to do with sending PMs.

I don't really see a bit of additional information as an issue.
