How do I enable private messaging? I cannot seem to find a setting for it and it is not currently enabled.

Due to new accounts using the PM system to send spam and scam messages, the PM system is only available to "established" CorvetteForum members. We can't disclose what exactly is "established" but anyone using CorvetteForum for its intended purpose will easily be able to meet the requirements.

In short, the PM system will automatically be enabled for accounts once they've become "established".

We do not manually allow some members, and not others, around this restriction.

Same issue here. Unfortunately, I deleted all of my previous PM's (and associated contacts) trying to figure this out.

Oh well.....

How do you delete some of your private messages without deleting all of them?

Select them individually using the checkbox in the right column next to the PM, or select a day's worth by using the checkbox in the right column next to the day. Then scroll down and select Delete from Selected Messages and press Go.
