Scott - How do I view a PM that I already read, but didn't delete? It seems that after I read and reply to a PM, it disappears from the list on my profile until I get a new one.<P>Thanks.

No; unfortunately, that's the way the UBB software is set up. :( I think it's a pain in the ass myself. :mad: The most you can do is select the option in your profile to have it notify you by e-mail when someone sends you a private message. That way you can at least save the e-mail.

While this thread is open, I have a question. <P>Can you make it where when you receive a PM from someone else, it will notify you the next time you visit the forums? A little notification on the front page would be nice. :)

Scratch - it would take some MAJOR rewriting of the code just to figure it out, probably well beyond my knowledge of Perl (the programming language the ubb is written in). All I can do is hope for this feature to be improved in future versions of the board.<P>Halen4Ever and JD - this is something I can look into. Give me a week or two. :)

Update: I tried this afternoon to implement a hack that will display new PM's on the front page, but I got error after error. :( I'll keep tryin', folks.
