I'm not getting any notifications (at all).  I looked high and low and can't seem to find where to turn them on.

anyone can guide me?

Sent you an IM to see if you have everything turned on.
It should be a notification that you can't miss, and then you click on the envelope between the man and the log-out button.

If you do not have notifications turned on, go to Forum Preferences via the man icon, go to the bottom, and make sure Notification System is set on "enable". The next box..."always". check the "new message" box below.

Thanks for the hookup bro.
