Al - you can set your preferences so you get notified by email when you have a PM. When you are logged into the forum, do the following:
- On the center top menu click on My Stuff
- On the expanded menu that appears click on Edit Preferences
- Scroll down and just above the Time Format click the "Yes" radio button under the question Do you want to be notified via email when you receive a private message?
- Scroll down to the bottom and click Submit
ps - I modified your settings and sent you a pm to test it.
