In addition to controlling your notification settings, you can also control whether private messages from other users go to your e-mail, or just stay in your LJWorld.com Inbox. You can also receive notices when a user “follows” you. At the moment, we don’t have following enabled on LJWorld.com, but intend to in the future.

Check the appropriate check boxes and you’re all set. As usual, let me know if you have questions.
