Mariah,
If you will keep all of your related post in one tread, the board will notify you and anyone that replied to your thread that activity has occured. This way you will probably get your answer quicker.
As for as sending a priviate message at the bottom of this reply you will see links to PROFILE, PM, WWW, SEARCH, BUDDY . Just click on the PM to send a private message. The board will notify me of the PM. If you want instructions, it might be best to do that via email so why don't you send me your addy.
