Have to say I'm getting more confused. Thank you Cashman and Mick the Moderator for unexpected quick response. I've tried replying via E-mail to Mick and CM. When I accidentally replied to a Do Not Reply "You Have A PM-mail re cashman it seemed to go through as a pm-unless I'm going daft-because he sent a pm back? Maybe it's me but I don't think so
As far as I can tell my PM's are still not going, either as a response from the received message or separately via the left hand menu. I now have two panels each saying received messages 5 and one showing sent messages 0.
Perhaps this will sort itself? Unfortunately I have to dash out but I'll try again after 4pm. Please check here for more desperate messages. Better if I'm just pdealing with a Mod as it's hard work jumping about

Thanks guys!
Explorers post is still missing but that's a side issue now.
