When I send someone a message through the messaging option on this forum, it used to send them an e-mail telling them about it. That no longer seems to happen.

It's an issue that has been around for some time now. Very frustrating.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

There's not even an indication, that I can see, that you've gotten a new message, here on the forums. :B
We have to go to the "My Account" link at the top of the page. It will tell you there.

But if you don't do that on a regular basis...
Yeah, every other forum I use gives a litle pop-up window letting me know if I get a PM. On this one I have to go into "My Account" and then "Messages" to see if I've had any PMs. It's not something I can be arsed to do very often so I have occasionally missed PMs. Fortunately I don't get sent them very often right now so I haven't missed anything for a while ;).

Basically, I like writing stuff ;)
Oh, don't get me wrong -- it's crap. :-(
I just wanted to make sure you knew that was there. ;-)
Ameena, FYI: You don't have to go to "Messages" -- just going to your account will show you if you have any new messages. Like I said, it's annoying, but it's there... :-/ You are absolutely correct that notification for messages is usually base forum functionality. :-(
