I have seen a couple of posts where people didn't realize that they had private messages. I still have one I sent out a couple of weeks ago that hasn't been picked up. I believe the following link will let people set several options including one to pop up a window when you have received a PM. I know that until I found that option, I would miss private messages.

Thus concludes our public service announcement ... ;-)
