Sending Private Messages

Re: Private messages??????

I've tried too. Not sure why everyone seems to be blocking them.

Re: Private messages??????

I don't think that function works. I've heard more than one person complain about it...myself included. I've got my private messages enabled, so you can try shooting me one, just to check. But I don't think it will work.

If I'm trying to contact someone, I have to do a search for their user name and then start going thru their posts, hoping one of them includes an email contact.

Re: Private messages??????

Sorry, dont know where else to post this. Recently I've tried to send private messages to numerous people only to have the system tell me that the member has elected not to receive pm's

what does everyone have against them?

Re: Private messages??????

Why dont everyone just start posting their email address and people wont have to PM. Funny how people post stuff for sale but no way of getting in touch with them other than the board.

Re: Private messages??????

The problem with posting email addresses on a public forum like this is that anyone or any thing (computers) can read and collect it. This is how you get on SPAM lists. Has anyone asked the moderator or administrator about the Private Message function?

Also some other forums allow you to make your email address available in your profile.

If you want to show your email address there are a few ways to hide it but one of the more common is to spell it out like this:

yourname (at) domain dot com

Anyone with half a brain can figure out how to contact you but the spam bots can't read that as an email address.

Re: Private messages??????

Hello Everyone,

I believe we may have discussed this topic a while back. If I'm not mistaken, I think the system default is to not allow private messaging so that people won't be sent messages without their consent. I believe that is intended for the benefit (and privacy rights) of each member. However, if you do want to enable private messaging, you can do so by going to your profile and allowing it.

I believe these are the steps you can take to enable private messaging:

1) Login and go to the forum page,
2) Click on the 'User CP' link in the forum navigation (it is on the top left corner of the page),
3) On the left side menu under 'Control Panel' click on 'Edit Options',
4) Scroll down and under 'Messaging & Notification' you will see and area entitled 'Private Messaging'. In that area, click on the checkbox entitled 'Enable Private Messaging'. There are also other options in that area you can select as well.

Please note that the system is set up so that only those wishing to receive such messages will do so. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

Sincerely,
Chris

Re: Private messages??????

I turned my PM's on, so if anyone wants to give it a test run...go ahead.


Chris,

I had sent in a request for a ID change. I'd like to change from PeteRose14 to RyanZimmerman11. Can that be taken care of?


Thanks,

Jay,

I'm originally from NJ too and now I live in Richmond, Va. I'm a big Nats fan (and Yankees - born in the Bronx!). Zimmerman is a fave of mine too. My son loves him too.
