carnicero,
"click on the little letter emblem to the right of your name on the post."
THIS IS WRONG, you would be sending yourself a private message, OVERTON is on Meds now and is confused. LOL
If you want to PM a certain person, click on the "single envelope" to the right of that person YOU which to send to. The "double envelope" is for e-mail.
IF you see a small red flag at the top left side edge of the main Forums, the first page to come up after you log in, then you have a PM and look above and over to the right for the INBOX MAIL and click on it and answer the person who sent you one.
