i received 2 or 3 PMs today but there was no notification of it on the top right screen. i just happened to go into my inbox and find them waiting. it still says 0 new messages. any idea why this is?

Hmmm... mine has showed as well as having the box pop up --- send me a PM and let me see -- have you checked your settings about PM controls or disabled popup for thai visa in your browser?

Well, I received girlx pm as well as others, and not only did the number show in the top but I also got the popup message.

I am using FF 3.0.5 and do not have popups blocked for thai visa. Post here what browser you are using girlx sothe the more computer geeky of our people can figure out what the problem is.
