Here's a head's up on a possible issue, I've seen a lot of people lately saying they didn't get a PM.

I found PM's coming to me from this site have been sent into my Spam mail file, and have heard from others here who've said the same happened when I PM'd them.

Yahoo used to route them into my Inbox, so maybe they changed their filtering rules or something, anyway check your spam boxes and you'll 'prolly find that Badweb PM you didn't think you got. Might want to change your preferences (on your Yahoo acct) too, so that your spam mail doesn't automatically filter straight into your trash folder.

I don't know if there is anything admin can do for this, likely it's all on Yahoo's end of things.

If it is going into a spam file on yahoo, just tell yahoo that they are not spam, there is a button to do so at the top of each message. It's a pretty smart mail system and it will get the hint very quickly and start putting them in your inbox.

Yeah, I use that function, even the ones that go from me to myself as a copy go in there. System doesn't seem to be getting the hint. Guess I should have said that as well for clarity. Thanks Greg

I don't know if Yahoo will let you do it, but in gmail you can set up the filters. I set up one that says if the message contains "You have received a private message from the following discussion board" including the quotes, it will not mark it as spam.
