Note: Messages are now automatically placed into conversations allowing you to keep track of messages sent and received from other site members.
Note: Conversations are automatically ordered by most recent activity; the conversation with the most recent activity is at the top of the page.
You can view whether you have sent or received each individual message and how long ago it was sent or received from this page
(d).
New unread messages are highlighted and labelled with a filled in circle
