You would think there are enough ways to get to your pms, but believe me, they're not obvious. My general users are having a tough time navigating to the user cp and finding their pm list.

(I'm afraid they're going to find setup of that notification drop-down to be too confusing.)

And why should they do all that clicking to find a very, very commonly used feature?

Suggest Personal Messages be a link in the user drop-down (whatever it's called) up there in the top right of the screen.

Apologies, I now see Messenger is the avenue to private messages.

I had thought it was chat or IM.

Suggest label in drop-down be changed to Personal Messages, since that's what it's called everywhere else.
