Private messages

[zephyr]

I've noticed that if you send a private message by clicking on a user name (say in a post) the message goes to the intended recipients email address but there is no record kept in my message board. If i'm correct this means you cannot reply to it through "messages". In order to have a record of a message sent i've noticed that you have to actually be in your messages portfolio then type in the user name (or the first part of it for autosuggest) when a record in messages will be kept. Is this just me not knowing how to work things or are others having similar issues. I recently received a private message as notified on my email but when i went into messages on the forum said message wasn't there?.

......only ever sent a private message from the "messages" section, not from a post, forum........but I'll bear in mind what you say.


Modern life, the world of IT - So much time is spent focussing on the tool, rather than the task!!

I don't have any problems like that Arthur so can't comment on your issue. You could message Tanya and she will got on to the web person for you
I sent you a private message and it says gone in my messages to you and i still have all the others, it should be in your for sale messages to and from me. Go into Message centre then In box and it should be there

I'm a bit of a techno dinosaur. I've only had a smartphone for less than a year and still only use it for texts and calls. I see your message now. It appears that messages from one person regardless of topic all go under the same heading. At least i know now where to look. I'm used to emails where the most recent message is at the top whereas on here the most recent is at the bottom. I'll see if there is a setting to change that. Thanks for the heads up. I don't have (or want) any of the so called socials so this forum is very precious to me and long may it continue.
