Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not select "yes" on the "Automatically login when you return to the site?" on your profile preferences then ths system will only keep you logged in for the preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in select "yes" on the above. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc.

Private Messaging |
What's the difference between email and my private mailbox?
You can't send email directly to or from a private mailbox!!!.
When you reply to a personal ad, you're sending a message from your private mailbox to the private mailbox of the user who posted the ad. The same process happens when you reply to a message that you've received in your own private mailbox.
