my messages says there are 3,1 is new. Problem is when I check messages it says no messages???
Is there still a problem with the BBS pm system?? How can I read my pm's. TIA.
-
Wont help you reading the message internally but if you check the email notification you get an email with the Message text included.
At bottom of Personal Message Optioins, under the two checkmarks, the "Notify by email every time you receive a personal message" option.
For what its worth, I received a PM recently and had no trouble reading it.

Make sure to Click on page (1) of your messages.

Hold over from the "great bb crash" of 08. Should heal itself soon.
-
Skuzzy I sent you a PM concerning one I got from you, which was not meant for me.
-
can you make that sound juuusssssttttttt a bit more confusing? :huh
-

ahhhh so it has a name now. It will live on in infamy ! :devil
-
On the contrary, it doesn't get any simpler than that.
SKUZZY HAS PMS.
-
ahhh, that makes more sense !
-
i got a PM from rebel...have NO clue who this guy is..anyways now i cant access my other messages only can see his. any suggestions? i tried to switch between pages and nothing comes up just the PM from him its like my other ones are locked or something.
-
It's a bug that Skuzzy needs to tend to. If you don't want info getting out, don't send em. I just roll the bones and see what I can do.
-
If he wants you to know what it is about he will tell you. Figured he would want to know about it asap and they were not answering their phone as it was after hours.
-
I got one from him too. I PMed him back & he said he sent it to someone else, but it came to me on accident. Weird. Guess we better be careful what we PM for awhile. ;)
-
I got one earlier that was not supposed to go to me. Some weird ju-ju going on around here.
-
Yeah I sent one today that went to someone it wasnt supposed to go to.
:noid :noid :noid :noid
-
Betty I think I wuv ewe.. :huh Doh! sorry I thought this was betty private mail box. :o
-
Same problem.
They hate us because we're beautiful !
-
Sorry bout that y'all. There was a big flurry of PM's goin in the 352nd today.
For some reason a bunch of people were getting PM's as copies. I think mister Fork was in there as well.
I apologize for any confusion and will just ask if anyone managed to catch something from myself, Fencer, or Bizz to simply delete the message.
Friggin' weird man.
Oh, and Betty, I don't know who the hell you are either :aok :lol
-
You don't know who Betty is? Wow. I'm relatively new to AH2 and even I know who Betty is... :O
-
thx for the help guys,
Roy it shows I have 4 messages,2 I can read,the other 2 must be in the ether some where LOL..
-
Make sure to Click on page (1) of your messages.
That didn't do anything, and I have e-mail notification turned off.
Anyone else have any other clues.

I am probably going to have to clear all the PM's to get things back on track. I was hoping the system would heal itself, but it appears to have too many crosslinks for that to happen.
-
Really hated to, but there was simply no way to revuild that information that did not create more problems.
So, all were purged. It is hte only way to get it back to a sane state.

Try refreshing the browser betty, or leaving the forums, and re-entering.

Tried both, still can not see the new PM's.
-
I just received a PM, after cleaning out all my old ones. Only way I was able to get it was via the Email notification I have set.
Couldn't read it via 'My Messages' at all.
Now while I was able to see the PM via email I now have to track down the individual to reply as I doubt he'll be able to view a message if I send one.

tried that skuzzmiester....didnt work :(
still showin, and for some reason i dont get emails from the HTC BBS, i have checked. not sure i know i used to get them. how do i fix it to where i can recieve them again? i checked my spam folder and they're not there either. i'm so confused :(
-
betty, you are not getting emails due to Yahoo. They block email from the server traeting it like spam. Even when they allow the email to go through, they may delay iot for up to a week.
Nothing we can do about that as they will not discuss the issue with us.
I'll delve into the PM issue, but not one should have been showing any PM's after I purged them out. Odd.
-
Are the forum PM's not working? I know I lost all my old PM's when the forum had issues, but now I see "6 messages, 1 is new"
Yet I can't access any of them.

Here's a strange thing- when I look up in the upper right corner, it tells me I have 12 messages, 0 are new.
I click on that to access the PM's, but there's a nice gray stripe that says "No messages..."
:huh
More clues to the puzzle I guess. Anything I can do to test for ya?
-
Trying to find where that count is so I can kill it correctly.
-
Just an FYI Skuzzy, I had a PM the other day that looks like I sent tom someone, they replied to it and I don't remember sending it...
Also:
I show 10 messages on the page header, but clicking there are no messages.
I have: logged out, cleared cookies, logged back in, and page refresh. It's no big deal to me I don't use PMs a lot, but thought I'd let you know of the bug.
-
As for another slight problem...I sent someone a PM, and it doesn't appear in my Outbox.
-
Welp, let's see how that works.
-
Perfect.
Message counter just reset. :aok
-
Looks good, Skuzzy. :aok
-
Sorry for the loss of the PM's to begin with. Only bright spot is things look almost back to normal now.

Are all previous PM's gone for good?
-
Yes. All are gone. There was no way to salvage them with any accuracy as to what message actually belonged to a person.
Betty, Hotmail outright blocks email from the registration server. If you need to use a free email account, the GMail is the only one that seems to still be working. Howver, I figure that will get blocked soon as well as more people switch over to it.
Quite frankly, email notification from the bulletin board has hurt our business more than any one other feature we could have. What happens is people leave the board, then they complain to thier email provider we are spamming them. The provider then blocks email delivery. So far, Yahoo, Hotmail, abd SBCGlobal to some degree is doing anything from delaying delivery to a spam fodler to blocking all email outright.
Nothing we can do about it as none of them will discuss the issue with us.
-
So far I can still get email notification in my hotmail account, works like a charm :)
-
Really? Odd. Maybe they finally cut us some slack. Yahoo has gotten worse about it.

It never ceases to amaze me how Hotmail, Yahoo and other free email systems block what they consider spam even when it isn't. BUT...they are also one of the biggest spam producing groups out there and they refuse to do anything about it.
Hence why my servers refuse email from Hotmail and Yahoo. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. (I realize this is not a good solution for everyone)
Edit: My server responds to Hotmail this way...
554 Excessive spam received via Hotmail - We no longer accept mail from Hotmail addresses
If every server in the world started doing that, do you think Hotmail might decide to stop making their own rules and play nicely with everyone else?
-
I just logged on and all my PMs have been erased... Did I miss the Memo?
-
Yep... I had gotten most of my PMs back, and now they're gone again..
