Hi Heather,
Is the private messaging the same as instant messaging? I don't mean to appear rude, but last year I was wiped out by a computer virus and the secruity guys told me disable IMs. So when I signed up for this forum, I associated the PM w/IMs. I've got it set up to email me, but I may have thought that email was just a response to the thread. I'll read it next time
I work out of my home and my computer is my livelihood and I can't afford to keep some communication channels open. I'm still paying for losing 4 months of work from last year and turning off IMs is just one of the many precautions I'm taking.
Thanks for trying and letting me know tho.
