Meltdown
Posts: 8,691 ✭✭✭✭✭
Since our "upgrade" here on the boards, I am only receiving initial pm's and ongoing discussions are not showing up in my history. My sent responses are all there but the persons replies back are not making it to my inbox... for that matter, only about half the time does the website even show that I have a new message. I do get the emailed indicator and I can read/see when I have a message from my email but not on the website!
Is anyone else having this problem? Do I have settings set up incorrectly?

I feel like I've tried every damn hyperlink, help button, layout thing there is... It's driving me crazy. Today it caused me to miss a message and send a package to an out-dated address. Now I'm dealing with USPS intercept & re-direct.
Is no one else having missing pm issues?
Edited to add, Paul maybe onto something with users using email to reply rather than the website. I'm trying to check on that now.

I think that's it. Recently I sold a coin on BST and the buyer sent me a PM. I got notice of it in email and so responded through email, causing him some confusion like you've described above. The weird thing was, his initial PM to me appeared in my PM inbox some 15 minutes or more after I got the email notification of the PM.
I have found that I may miss some if they only come in emails as they get "lost" with all my other emails and when I "remember" them, I am looking for them in the PMs, and can't find them.
Then, as stated above, there are times, when I respond to the email "PM" and it can cause confusion as well.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Find a PM from the person you want, then click the binoculars on the far right side of that PM. It should pop up a new window with that PM in it. If not, turn off your popup blocker.
In that new window, click the button labelled "message history" and in the original browser window it should show your thread with that person.
Have they been replying to your PMs here on the boards, or replying to them using their email? If the latter, it will only show up in your email inbox, not on the forum.

The replies go to your email address with no trace in the PM system.
This just happened to me for the first time ever.

Me too yesterday. Email went to spam so I just deleted it. Came here and no PM. GRRRR

This afternoon I received a PM through email only without any trace of it on the boards.
Ditto. I eventually got the PM, but there was at least a 20-minute "hang time" between its appearance in my email inbox and the arrival of the PM version in my PM inbox here.
Also, are images still not supported in the new PM system? Last I checked, they still weren't.
The PM feature seems to be the Achilles heel of this new software. There are a few things I consider modest improvements, but this PM format definitely isn't one of them.
