I have a few questions about the new set-up, which I love<img src="smile.gif" border="0">
1) How do we know if we have a private message? 2) How does this buddy list work? 3) Why do we rate members? Thanks <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

1 - you check your profile at the top for pm's... a better solution is in the works.

2 - you can add commonly pm'd users to your buddy list, as well as ignore the ones you don't wanna hear from...<img src="smile.gif" border="0">

3 - it was a requested feature for quite a while by ubb owners in general, tho you can always turn it off in your profile if you don't want to be rated...

Thanks! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
