Messages

I seem to have 5 messages but can't work out how to see them. I've tried 'hovering' the cursor over the word messages and the number 5, but nothing shows up. Also tried looking on my profile, inbox and alerts, but nothing. Can anybody help please?

Do you mean your inbox?
You should have notifications or mesages there which tells you as it is highlighted in red.Just click on the inbox.

Thanks for the response. I've seen the alert (from you) with the red box, but there is nothing on my inbox. It has just ocurred to me that 'messages' might be posts that I've made! It's the line just under my username at the top right of the page.

You do also get notifications like somebody liked your post or somebody replied to your post. That is highlighted under your alerts an inbox message will be highlighted under your inbox which then means that you have a message.

Thanks, coolasluck, I'll get used to the site eventually!

You are correct in your assumption, under your 'User Name' the word messages relates to how many messages 'you' have posted on the forum. Above that you will see your 'User Name' and two headings 'Inbox' and 'Alerts', the Inbox is when someone sends you a Private Message (PM) and the 'Alerts' is when someone either 'Likes' one of your pists or quotes your pist and responds to it

Good moaning, BigMomma! (Or was it just a typo in your post (pist?) above?) Thanks for the enlightenment, I was worried I was 'ignoring' messages.

We drank the 'red' Conde Noble in Spain, very palatable white not so good, not even for putting on chips
