Yes, and the + ONLY appears if you "reply" to the question asked, NOT if you "comment" on it, so please always hit "reply", that way people can know they have a message. I think maybe this needs a tutorial, yes? Hugs, Marji

Thanks you mentioned this- I did not dare to start a new discussion, but is it really of general interest when someone gets a PRIVATE message?
It is a bit like whispering on the schoolyard- and of course I am the nerd who does not have a clue.

Thanks for pointing this out and giving a gentle nudge toward correcting the announcements.;)

Thanks for that Gerry !!!*

Thanks for making that reminder. I'm sure that many new folks didn't know about it. It is a nice feature to be able to take advantage of.

They r probably like me. I just plain forget to look sometime but I'm trying to do better about it gerry. *4U

Thank you so much for mentioning this. I find it redundant that people place announcements (you have a private message). That's like remembering to use the freebies tab and then going back to the public site and saying 'look here, there's a freebie from #### posted under the freebies - it's a ####.

Thanks again.

Marjialexa where are you? Please help our Cuties.

thanks i was wondering how you would know if you had one.........thanks...hugs

Dear Gerry,
I used to just post a private message without putting a notice on the board that I had done so, until I saw that Shirlene was often posting a message that she had sent a private message to someone.
Is it more polite to notify someone (by the post in the general area), or just send the PM and hope that they notice it soon?
Thanks for your help!
*4u!
