Me again Vincent
PM's ... in case you aren't sure about how to check for PM's and such:
1) At the top of this page and right beside the MALPELEAF UP banner is a link saying "user cp". Click on that to open your "cp" control panel and you'll be in your private area where you can access your PM's (aka private messages) to read and send, etc.
2) Emails sent to you via MLU through your profile, as well as any and all notifications of PM's, will all automatically go to that bigpond.com email address that you registered with. If you want people to use a different email address to contact you, like your hotmail one, then you can let people know through their profile links for emails or PM's.
Putting email addresses in the public forum is bait for the spammers harvesting those addresses so it's a good idea to send addresses by PM or email to avoid that, or write "at" where the @ should be.
I hope you get your PM's and emails now
Karmen.
