PM Notifications explained
![Previous :previous: :previous:](https://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/images/smilies/previous.gif)
To clarify what "notifications" are, here is some detail for any members who are unsure...
➳ Click on
User CP [Control Panel] found on the left hand side of the top dark blue bar of every Forum page.
➳ Under the heading
Your Control Panel on the left hand side, scroll down to
Edit Options [thumbnail 1].
➳ When Edit Options is opened, scroll down to
Messaging & Notification and within that area to
Private Messaging.
There are five options in Private Messaging, two of which are relevant to this topic...
◉ Enable Private Messaging [thumbnail 2] - when ticked the member is able to send and receive Private Messages from other members and staff. [If this is turned off and the Admins or Mods need to send the member a PM, we may enable it from the master Control Panel.]
◉ Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages [thumbnail 3] - when ticked the member receives a
copy of any incoming PMs. A full copy of the PM is emailed to the member's private email address while the 'original' is sent to the member's Forum PM inbox. This feature allows members to keep abreast of incoming messages without having to be logged into the Forums. No member email addresses are disclosed in this process. Note that PM email notification is one-way; it is a notification only and any reply must be sent via the PM system while logged into the Forums.
