In summary, the conversation is about the private message function on the forum. The first person initially asks if the function is still available, but then realizes they were mistaken and found it. They mention missing the flashing popup message for PMs and ask if there is a way to enable it. Another user responds and explains how to enable the pop up message in the User CP. The first person thanks them and expresses excitement to try it out.

Do we still have the private message function, or is it not compatible with this version of PF?

Found it, so just forget I even asked. I should have had a more detailed look before posting. :smile:

I have a question about PM's though.
I miss the way the flashing popup message would alert you to the presence of a PM. I am still getting used to the features with this forum and wonder if it is possible to enable some type of active alert or not.

You can still get that pop up message. Go to User CP then go to edit options. Go down to the messaging section and there is an option for a pop up box.
