    A plane simple request, if possible under our user name have a button to check our private message’s.
    it sure would save us time...

    or put it in this line

    how much time could it really save? There's a link at the top of the page for you're private messages if you're logged in. 2 seconds of scrolling at the most I think.....

    **edit for spelling**

    @ aabbccdd -- i thought that every one got notified via e-mail, but maybe people just want it because it would be easier to check. lazy slobs.

    let me tell ye why i asked for the above,i or some of us get over a 100 e-mails a day..and some times its very hard to look for a e-mail
    from afterdawn with the private message..

    it would be a lot easer to check for pms from our posts

    Ok, I think I understand what Ireland is asking for now. Something like phpbb or vbulletin that tells you whether or not you have any private messages if you're logged in?????

    I really don't know how much additional load that would add to the servers placing an additional query on each page load to check if you have private messages. Maybe on the main page in the uppper right in the box that says: "Manage your account" instead of saying "view your private messages" it could say "private messages: 0" or something similar. That way the query is only on the main page load and not all pages.

    I agree if there was a way to impliment bieng able to see that
    you have a private message without having to enter the PM page
    itself would be a great addition.

    its none of your business if i get a hundred e-mails a day,or not.
    do you not have any thing better to do instead of criticizing people.

    I get around a hundred emails per day as well....three email accounts, three regularly frequented forums and personal email makes for a high volume of email.

    What is it with you attracting the naysayers as of late ireland? You can't seem to get away from them.

    Your not going to be around much longer at this rate. If your only going to talk shit go play on the freeway or something.

    EDIT

    On topic, I agree with Ireland, I think being able to directly go to your private messages from a thread would be great.
