When you register as a member you can read messages sent to you by other members but you can't send any until you have made 5 posts.

Click "Private Messages" in the green bar just below the menu. from here you can use the internal message system. it works similar to emails with an inbox, compose message, sent items, trash, etc.

You can also send another member a PM by clicking the PM image bottom left on a members post.

Keep an eye on your % of PM space used after 5 posts you can have 25 messages in your folders. after 10 posts you can have 50 messages in your folders. etc.

Please let me know if you are getting PMs from another member that you would class a spam, trolling, or bullying.  

Any questions please ask.

Did you know you can cancel unread PMs that you have sent.

Go to your Control Panel and on the left hand side click "Tracking" the top section shows messages that have been read and the bottom section shows PMs that have not been read.

If you tick the box on the right next to a message and scroll down and click "Delete" the message will be gone.

Handy if you have old unread messages laying around, or you sent one to the wrong person by mistake.

*Once you hit "Delete" it' gone there is no second chance.

*If you did send a message to the wrong person and later deleted it, they won't be able to read the message but they will have had the first 100 characters in the Email if they subscribe to notifications.

I do keep deleting them if I haven't heard after a week I don't want to annoy .... Unless it's fred then I try to annoy

It's good to know, I actually had a couple of unread posts. One was today so that one might be read soon, but the other was back in November and would have probably sat there forever. At least now I know why my usage never went back to 0% when I clear my pm's.
