WHAT IS THE INBOX USED FOR?

All new messages will appear in your inbox. Once you have read a message you have two options:

1) If you no longer want to receive messages on this topic then click on eye icon This will remove the PM completely from your inbox.

2) If you still want to receive messages relating to that PM, then click the envelope icon () This will move the message into your "watching" folder. Any message in the watching folder that has a new comment posted on it will mean you get sent an email and it will appear back in your DSI inbox.

3) If you have a PM which has many replies and you want to be able to find the PM easily, then add this to your favourites by clicking on the star icon () at the bottom of the PM.

HOW DO I SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE?

You dont. To remove items from your inbox, click the inbox icon. To never recieve an email about a message again (I.E if its spam) - click the eyeball icon to unwatch it.

This means that messages that arent in you inbox can still be watched... so when new stuff is posted on them, they return to your inbox. See question 1 for more details on this.

WHY IS IT THAT IF YOU GO INTO A MESSAGE, READ IT, THEN CLICK ON THE INBOX OF FAVOURITES AGAIN IT STILL SHOWS UP AS "NEW", AS IF YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE LAST UPDATE?

Use http://www.imageshack.us/ to host your images. It's really simple, and you don't need to log in. When you've uploaded the image, use the Hotlink for websites bit - NOT the hotlink for forums.

cheers
