PM s

[Mike Ellis]

I was sent a PM on here and so I replied as instructed.ie: Who too. Subject. Message. Send
I actually did it 3 times.
Twice my reply wasn't received by who I wanted it to go to, and the third time it was received by a completely different person !!

Why is this site so difficult to use !!

Also why not just give someone your email addy so you can reply DIRECT !
It's so Blxxxy frustrating !

Does ANYONE actually KNOW how to reply to a private PM ?

Personally I doubt it !

I just replied to a PM. Haven't heard if received or not.

Hi Mike, I can't understand how you are finding this difficult to use, it is pretty strength forward, as you can see I have sent you a PM in the picture below, just press the Send Reply and type your message and send.

PM's show up un your 'Outbox' until they are read. That's how you can tell if they've been read or not.

Everyone is more than welcome to put their own email addresses on here...but be very careful. Machines continuously read the whole internet (including this site and forum) to harvest email addresses to send spam to. So I wouldn't do that, just send a PM via the forum.

To send a new message, just click on someone's name at the top of a post, then 'send private message' on the next page.

Thanks Rob,
However trying to reply to a PM is a totally different ball game!!
After numerous attempts to reply to them, the recipients say they have NEVER received them, and the sender has no way of knowing IFF they went at all !!
Without wishing to sound paranoid, to my mind there is nothing wrong with an email as its a personal message between two people anyway, and so much easier to send, and KNOW if its been received by the recipient.
Everything that Dave Parry has told me to do, I have already done and still NOTHING works when trying to reply tp a PM.
