It's very easy to miss the forum setting for being notified by email if a Private Message arrives, which is an extremely useful feature especially if you don't often log in (and even if you do, the flashing 'new message' in the forum header can be far from obvious).
So I would highly recommend enabling the notification: generally receiving a PM is very infrequent so it won't significantly affect your email volume. The setting can be found by clicking on messages at the very top of the forum's home page (assuming you are logged in), then clicking preferences on the right hand side, and then changing the Notify by e-mail dropdown from No to Yes. Finally click Save Preferences to record the setting.
If you've changed your email address since originally registering with the forum, you might also want to check that it is set correctly in your profile.

Thanks for the tip, Richard. I've set them for e-mail notification.
One more thing. How does one make the banners and links at the top of the forum screens? Is it script in the board headers? Could you send me LBB's to get me started in Umbrella?
Thanks, Jack

I only know how to write simple HTML! I can't help you with things like scrolling banners or flashing text I'm afraid. Perhaps somebody more competent at HTML coding will reply.
I can at least tell you the syntax for a simple link:
