Hi Hazel,
Welcome to RootsChat 
if you look in this topic, you will find answers to most of your questions
Topic: RootsChat Topics: How to use RootsChat / FAQs
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,207046.0.html
there are a couple of topics concerning Personal Messages.
Read them through, and if it's still unclear, then ask again.
Good luck,
Bob

For some strange reason I have suddenly stopped receiving emails when a reply has been posted to a topic I’ve posted in. I have checked my profile under “Notifications and Email” and nothing seems to have changes in my profile. All three options are still selected;
• Receive RootsChat announcements by email.
• Receive reply notification only for the first unread reply.
• Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic.
I tried selecting “notify” in one of my messages as suggested by Berlin-Bob but got a message “Are you sure you wish to disable notification of new replies of this topic” but I want to “enable” them?!?

Hi Hanan
This has happened to me sometime in the past and it was my service provider filtering them out as spam. Are you able to check this out?
Did you get a notification for this reply?

Hi Casalguidi,
No I didn't get a message for you... I've looked at my blocked senders list and Rootchat isn't listed. 
It's a bit annoying, missing all the replies

thanks casalguidi,
I've been using the "Show new replies to your posts", don't know what I'd do without it... The email option was much easier though.
Your service provider could be filtering them out as spam before they get as far as you though - that is what was happening with me and a number of others who use BT some time ago 
Great  it's BT I use

Hi
I nearly had a fit last year when i went on my own lookup topic to put something on it.I found loads of posts going back a few months that i hadn't had a notification for.Lucky for me it was a one off,because it took me ages to catch up.With it being outdoor work,then trystan fixed it for me 
Hanan
when you say the email option what are you referring to?it always confuses me ::)because rootschat doesn't have an email option.Emails are a persons own personnel address,that you can send to another member via a P.M only.Then you can email each other on you computer,and it doesn't go through rootschat

Hanan

I am refering to the email that is sent to my own email address "A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by...
View the reply at: "
I'll check http://bt.my.yahoo.com/ and let you know if I've any luck.

I'm with Orange,and they often have the terrible habit of lumping nearly all my Rootschat notifications together and sending them to me overnight.
Sometimes I get 6 or so timed at the same minute!
Yet another reason for me to stay here all day checking my postings  as if I needed one

Hi Carol,
Seems like from what everyone is saying I'm gonna have to learn to live without my Rootschat Notifications Messages.

I think most Rootchatters are the same.

Hi Hanan,
Are you a member of other sites and are their notification messages coming through OK?
