PM Question

**Top Cat** · 10-16-2011, 12:23 PM

I know this is in the wrong place but I don't care.
I figure more people will see it here.
Move it if you feel the need.;)

How do we tell if a member we PM has read the PM?
On the other low tech, non state of the art, easy to navigate forum it showed an open envelope or somethin' like that.
On here I see no way to tell.

You don't care that it is in the wrong place or that I want to know.

I forgot the question??

Don't know the answer... but if you have messages you haven't yet deleted, try to go to the control-panel on the far-left side and scroll-down to "track-messages". Click that and see if an option comes-up that allows you to know if it has been opened or not. I don't keep messages so I cannot try it.

Just an idea...

You can also block messages from certain "unsavory-members" here... in case you might have someone in mind TC... (if you know what I mean!!

Not naming any names...)

Before you hit submit message, check the box that says Request a read receipt for this message.
It's located just below the submit button in the additional options.

I have tried that and everything else I can.
Nothing I have done shows if the message I sent has been read as far as I can tell.
If I get a read receipt , where would it be?

For Christ sake TC! Find a 10 to 15 year old kid, that you haven't pissed off yet, and they'll put their finger on everything and show you all you need to know.

Perhaps one of your great grand young 'uns that you ain't scared the hell out of!

Yet!

None of the kids in my neighborhood dare come near my property.

No great grand kids and the grand kids live to far away.

Do you get a way to tell if the PM's you send have been read?
Other than when you get an answer smartass

TC, you flatter me 2 much!

The way I can tell if people got my PM's is because I write nice ones and I get a response every time because I am kind, generous, charming, charismatic, suave, and debonair.

Maybe the people you PM HATE you and they just delete your PMs!

I know, I know, they probably do but you still want to know if they read your PM.

I tell you what, send a PM two me, telling me what a nice guy I am Track it. I'll read it and send you won back.

You mean bstrd

First, the person you sent the PM to would have to click a box to send you the read receipt. It's a courtesy on their part.
If they do, it will show up in hard to read yellow, right below where you choose inbox or sent items folder.
It will not be specific to that PM, it will simply tell you that out of "X" number of request that "X" number have been answered.
If the person you sent the PM to doesn't want you to know they have read it there is no way for you to tell.
