Umm, this is not making sense to me. Sure, you might not receive the email notifications that there are forum PMs waiting for you to view. However, you can visit the C&F forums, login, and click on the top left (where it shows, using my username as a for instance, "Logout [ kkrell ] - 1 new messages"). Click where it shows the # of messages - that takes you to your forum inbox. Read your PMs there. I've sent you this as a PM. Good luck.

But that's only the notification you have a PM, not the PM itself.

The content of a PM-notification email is to alert you that there is a message in your Forum inbox. It contains the Subject title (only) and a link to your inbox. Think of it as meta-content that the NSA is collecting. You'll just have to check the top of C&F when you login to see if you have any messages. If so, go view them for their full text. You're notified on-line, at the top there, each time you login to C&F, or if you stay logged in.
