How do you send PMs?

Post Reply New Topic

I've tried to send pms to a couple people before but they don't show up in my "sent" folder after, and I haven't gotten replies, so I don't know if they actually went through

I'm able to reply to people who send me pms, I just can't figure out how to send them myself

I'm on mobile, if that makes a difference

PMs stay in the outbox until they are read. Then they go into the sent folder.

Many members are waiting until things get back to normal around here to log into their accounts.

From a different thread but maybe useful:

Thank you, I figured it out

I didn't realize that when you first click submit it just takes you to a preview of your message, and you have to click submit a second time

So I have a related question for anybody. How do you know someone has sent you a PM?

You can either manually click on the "new messages" link at the top of any page, next to the Log Out button (it will showing zero or the number of unread PMs waiting for you) - or, click on the My Account link next to it and have the system tell you as one arrives.

That's: My Account -> Board Preferences and in there, select "yes" the "Notify me on new private messages" option - and the other stuff there, as you please.

I think it's active by default so maybe no-one's sent a PM yet.
