I'm all about those Messages right now, apparently. Is there a way to enable email notifications for Messages received? I know I can subscribe to threads on the forum, but I can't find the option for Private Messages. Apologies if I'm man-looking and not seeing what's right in front of me.

I was just going to post the same question. It's strange that we can set up an email notification that someone has replied to us in a topic stream, but that we can't do the same for direct messages (which are usually more important, for critiques etc). I may also be missing something obvious here, but if not, would love to have that option!

I've been leaving one of my browser tabs open to the forum, so I can see notification.
It does bother me, because I work with 4-6 tabs open and there is only so much space where I can see what the tab is about when it isn't active. Yes, I'm one of those that leaves a lot of windows/apps open when researching and/or coupon clipping when shopping.

I keep tabs open to ezines seeking submissions so I see them every time I go online. It keeps me aware of what I need to do.

I'm just jumping into the group here asking for the same feature. It seems odd that this doesn't exist.

The way I set my notification bar. I access the site I need to use.
I minimize that page, then I start my search engine over and go to my next site.
I have as many as six or seven sites in my upper task bar at all times.
So, every time I boot up, I see what I need to do for this particular day.

Good question... Let me dig into this and let you know if we can get that added.
Okay so after looking into this it is a simple admin setting that I was able to turn on. Now when you receive a new PM you should get an email with the re: line of "Writers of the Future Forum New Private Message."
Let me know if that works for everyone.
@jason you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

In many messaging systems, including some forums, there isn't always a built-in option to receive email notifications for private messages. However, you can typically check your account settings or preferences to see if such an option exists.
You could contact Jason Toth. I get notified in my email whenever I have a private message.
He's the beast when it comes to taking care of our forum.
