Ummm . . Do we still have PMs ????

DRUNNER · October 15, 2016 10:17PM

3 days . . . still can't find if we have post counts, PMs or any incoming messages. Clicked on all I can see and am expecting several PMs but have no idea where to look . . .

I know you all are gushing over this new upgrade . . . and I am happy for you!

But where can I get my messages . . . ???

Basically . . . as of this point, I am dropping out of sight . . . not that it will affect anyone or matter at all . . . . .

PM s are located at the inbox icon at top right of the page to the right of your user name and the globe. They have also been organized in chronological order and by user name, too.

Click on the icon you want to PM
A screen will appear. Click on MESSAGES in the upper right corner.
Then you can type your PM and click on send.
Incoming PM's go to your registered email Inbox with a link to respond to the PM.

To check on your PM inbox,
At the top of the screen there is an icon to the right of globe that looks like a paper tray. That is your inbox. Click on it

Hey Jeff,
Don't go.... it is all here.. except for some post counts....Cheers, RickO

Post counts are apparently under each user's icon if you click them but not on each note they post. Correct?

Kind Regards,

George

Is there a way to sort your inbox by user name?

I REAALLY wish we still had this feature. It truly is the only quibble I have with the new software. Otherwise, I'm extremely pleased with the migration to this new forum software.

I agree.
User name search of PMs is key and I can understand why two members asked me to send my address again in the last few days. That feature and the ability to quote from my mobile device and then I think I'm all in.

Now to figure out what the heck Markdown is all about.

I don't know how to sort your Inbox by user name but show your Inbox, then, as on any web page (far as I know), you can use Ctrl-F to Find the username you want (if you know it). You can Highlight All in Safari but I don't know about other browsers.

Kind Regards,

George

George, thanks for that. I learned something new and it does work well.
Hopefully this will be good news for @Stork too.

giorgio11 · October 16, 2016 11:48AM

Thank you @Swampboy, glad you find it useful and I hope others will also.

Kind Regards,

I hope you will reconsider and work through it. Your knowledge is greatly needed here. Maybe I'm being selfish but I'm sure their are plenty here that would agree with me.

DRUNNER · October 16, 2016 7:27PM

Hey . . . .figuring it out. A couple test messages and am figuring this thing out . . . . it will be ok. I am a stick-in-the-mud . . . . but have stopped crying in my beer and I'll get with the new program.

There are a couple of old-school clichés . . . . to demonstrate my reticence to change.

But I'll get on board.

Sorry . . . .

Yeah I saw that too but it does NOT help me figure out what it is!

Sprechen Sie HTML?

How do you find PM's you have sent?

Click on the paper tray icon right of your user name. Your PM inbox will open on the window as an inset, with your outgoing AND incoming messages arranged in descending order chronologically from newest to oldest.
When you click on the user name that you are seeking, it will open another window with the archive of all of your PM's with that user - and these are arranged the opposite way, with oldest first. Seems very counterproductive and confusing to keep incoming and outgoing messages all in the same folder. And the fact that PMs cannot be searched by the initial character of another member's ID whether that is alpha or numeric is super lame. As it is now, you may have to scroll through pages and pages of PM's to locate your communication with someone you haven't exchanged a PM with in a while.

Ummm . . Do we still have PMs ????
