When you register as a member you can read messages sent to you by other members but you can't send any until you have made 5 posts.
Click "Private Messages" in the bar just below the menu. from here you can use the internal message system. it works similar to emails with an inbox, compose message, sent items, trash, etc.
You can also send another member a PM by clicking on a members post.
Keep an eye on your % of PM space used after 5 posts you can have 25 messages in your folders. after 10 posts you can have 50 messages in your folders. etc.
*Please let us know if you are getting PMs from another member that you would class a spam, trolling, or bullying.

Did you know as a member of Around Montmorillon you have a Personal Notepad?
To access your Personal Notepad click "User CP" in the menu bar when logged-in, then scroll down and there it is. Put in your content and click "Update Notepad"
Your Personal Notepad can only be seen by you and is not seen by other members (but please remember it is stored on the forum database) the database is protected, but it wouldn't be wise to include personal information like bank details etc just in case!
