"Private" Conversations - no notifications?

[rBuckner]

I received one of these today and did get notified. I found that there was an old one that I did participate in and one that I didn't and never received notification. I couldn't find that one when I clicked on the Conversations envelope icon by my user name at the right of the top tool bar. Do I have to allow notifications for these "private" conversations as opposed to the plain Conversations? Didn't realize there are two types (or more?) of conversation. Is there? Maybe I just need a Snickers?

Are you talking about getting an email or the red number on the PM envelop?

 

[rBuckner]

The red number on the envelope would do!

I get both. It must be a setting in preferences.

Maybe he's on double-secret probation?

Yeah, I think we're getting "wormer" ... heh... heh... heh...

There are some people who mistakenly use the conversation function of the Chat, instead of the forum's usual Conversations. I find that it's very incovenient.

Cone Of Silence

That was the Get Smart deal, yeah, in which nobody could hear anything said within the cone? It was a good schtick.
