Sending Private Messages

Re: Private Message Settings....AGAIN!!

Well as long as no one tries to "Ax" me a question, I guess I will be ok......
Ditto anyone who refers to their collection as "mines"

Working in the NYC school system, man have I seen the perversion of the English Language. With an English Minor in college, I have become what I hated most, an English language snob. Now I correct everyone and my wife hates it.

Hasn't cost me any game worn jerseys yet though

Re: Private Message Settings....AGAIN!!

Don't forget some unbalanced folks like to start drama, then after they cool down they want to put the toothpaste back in the tube. I've seen other message boards where some people delete all of their posts and go home. And you think it's awkward reading some of these threads? Typos happen. Screws fall out. The world is an imperfect place. Besides, even if there was an edit function, there would still be atrocious grammar errors. I urge everyone to learn the difference between they're, their and there. And the apostrophe "s" shows ownership, not "more than one".

Yes, straight from the "that would make too much sense" department.

That, as well as an edit function would shoot us right up into 1995-era technology. And yeah, yeah, I've heard all the reasoning behind not having an edit function but for those of us who don't fall into the "lying, thieving douchebag" category and would simply like the opportunity to correct a typo, the argument is wasted.

THANK YOU!

With "reasoning" being used loosely

Re: Private Message Settings....AGAIN!!

Some of us just might not know how to do it.......ME!

How do you do it?

Go to the "Quick Links" drop-down menu and choose "Edit Options". Make sure the box is checked next to "Enable Private Messaging".

Re: Private Message Settings....AGAIN!!

Agreed. I also think it would make more sense to have the default set to on. But what do I know

Private Message Settings....AGAIN!!

I can't be any more emphatic about this:

EVERYONE, check to make sure your settings are so that you can receive private messages!

Once again, someone has sent me a message to which I typed a long and detailed reply only to find that the individual cannot receive private messages. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time this has happened I could put a nice downpayment on another game used jersey for my collection.........not kidding, at all.

So, check into it, fellas, 'cuz it's beyond annoying.
Let's get those settings adjusted accordingly.

Re: Private message settings

I'm all for tidy posts, but no way should an edit feature be added.

Agreed. I have seen other message boards, where a disgruntled member goes back and deletes all of their posts and takes his ball and goes home.

Spelling? How about subject/verb agreement. The ever popular apostrophe "S"...the difference between it's and its. They're, their and there...

I'm sure the majority of the posters here are honorable individuals, but let's not forget this is board is a forum for sports memorabilia. This hobby is littered with thieves, liars, con artists, etc. We see examples of blatant deception posted here daily. If someone has no problem selling fake gamers for thousands, I don't think they'd think twice about rewriting their previous posts.

The private message option never seems to work. If I'm trying to contact someone, I simply search their user name and hope I find a post where they left contact info.

Also, when I read the posts while not logged in, they go 1-10. But when I log in, they appear 10-1. Annoying, but I'm used to it. I simply log out immediately after posting.

Re: Private message settings

I'm happy to make any fixes on spelling errors for you. Shoot me an email when there's a problem.

Re: Private message settings

Eric - I understand the reason that you stated. Most of my mistakes seem to be spelling errors that I dont catch right away. Any chance you would consider enabling it again?

Re: Private message settings

Hey everyone-

Regarding the edit feature- We decided it should not be enabled because when it was, it was being abused. People were making reckless comments and then going back, editing them and claiming they never did anything wrong.

If there's anything you need edited, you can click "contact forum moderator" and let us know.

Not having the edit feature also hopefully would cause people to take that extra second to double check their comments or facts before posting, since they're permanent.

If you need to get in contact with me, I'm at ecky3@aol.com
Thanks
Eric
