I still do NOT see any where to 'turn on PM' -does it show in user CP after the 25 is hit? Does it take time for that option to load from the server or get 'turned on' - I see my name in blue in top right but nothing under it - can u send a pm to see if that changes???

 

It is not listed in your menu to send you one yet. Might take the server and teh powers that be a bit to get it where you can see it.

 

maybe b/c I posted to 25 too fast? LOL

 

It happens Barry. But posting too fast is a good thing.
