I always link into the site through the "front door" link ("Conferences") , but most of the times I miss noticing that I have a new message in my mail box--especially if I wasn't expecting it in the first place. Anyway a few nanoseconds after the Conferences page is displayed, I immediately pop into one of the forums. Once I am there, there is no mail notification. Sometimes I don't notice the new mail for a week or so (maybe I am simply not very observant! )

So I guess my request is that the mail notification be made more obvious (perhaps just a larger font), and that it also show up on the normal Forum page.

Thanks

All these things are little modules that are all interrelated. Making the font size larger should be easily possible (when I find where it is located). It may also be possible to make it appear at the top of each forum, I will check into that. In the meantime, I would suggest that you go to the user_menu at the top of the forum (it appears at the top of each forum once you are logged in) and go to preferences. There the second choice, when marked "yes" will send you an e-mail notification each time you have a private message on the forum.

Ah, a belt and suspenders, so you don't miss the private messages.

Thanks, that's a good idea.
