Hi,
VM's kinda lose me too.
Difference is that VM's are public - all can read them. To find them, click a user name and View Profile. You can even do it for yourself!
Notification - it's below your username in the Welcome username box.
Welcome...
You last visited...
Your notifications... # (of notifications of all types)
click "your notifications" and you'll see all that's of interest to you.
And the only reason VM's are there is because it came with the software, vBulletin, and it's more hassle to take it out than leave it!  (EVERY mod is a big hassle when upgrade time comes.)
hope that helps!
