I've sent 3 Private messages out recently to members who are regularly on here but not received a response at all from any of them. Having used a lot of forums over the years I find the PM section on this one the worst of all

You don't really know you have any message unless you actively look for them. Now I can't imagine you're all scrambling to get into your inbox with the pure excitement there could be a PM from me

*awaits barrage of abuse from non messaged members*
So I thought I'd just ask... Does everyone know how to get to their private messages ? - Click the settings tab, then go from there, you'll be surprised how full your inboxes are I guess

) or do people prefer to be contacted via email / did they not realise there was a difference ?
Sorry I'm not having a pop at anyone that I have messaged and throwing my toys out the pram because I haven't been replied to, it's more of a general thing about this forum and me wondering how apparent it is if you've got a message seeing as none of the 3 have replied ?
I hope this highlights a point, the rest of the site is wonderful and the forum is good in the respect of so many people post ( it's hard to keep up with sometimes ), lots of new photo's, lots of good advice, site links to the mag well. PM section needs addressing though !
