I have sent several people on the message board private messages. These messages have gone unread, though I have seen the same people post on the board. You need to check the "my profile" link at the top of the page every once in a while to look for private messages. There is also a feature you can select that allows the board to send you an email each time that you get a private message, so you will know that it is there. Many of you obviously have this feature turned off for some reason. Please check your profiles, and turn this feature on, or look into this link every few days to see if there is private mail waiting for you.
