How to tell when you have a new PM

Look where your avatar is. Under it it should look like this:

Posts: #
Private Messages: #/#
My profile

So look at Private Messages
The first number is your unread private messages
The second number is your read private messages

I had a picture to show you, but the site is slow and won't let me.

Edit:



Red = read
Blue = unread

Also, you can press profile and then press preferences, and there is an option that makes it when you get a PM it tells you, like a message shows up on your screen. I think its called notify me when i am pmed or something like that. But switch that from no to yes.
