I am not getting email responses to post here and getting an error when i try to view my saved PM's. Is anyone else here getting these problems? Its kinda hard keeping up with all the threads without the email responses.

It was preventing anyone from posting in topics where someone had enabled email notification, and causing huge problems all around. I don't think anyone had the access required to fix it, so we just disabled it.

BTW - To answer your second question, the "SaveBox" in your PM's does not work either. Apparently, any messages you move to your Savebox disappear somewhere into cyberspace, so I would recommend keeping messages in your inbox.

That explains a lot....

I don't ever use e-mail notification or savebox.That is just unimportant luxury for me.
I stick to the classic Inbox and have no problems yet.

the email notification i would love, but over the time ive been here ive gotten used to not having it and just scan the forums regularly. and PM's i rarely use on ANY forum.

Although - you should know: some themes have notification of new private messages, and others don't. When I first came to these boards, I chose a theme that does not tell you whether or not you have new messages. When I finally got around to checking my PM's, I found that I had a few messages that had been there for six months (it never occurred to me that I should check them). Then, I switched to a different theme, and found that my new theme tells me how many new messages I have.
