On a couple of occasions recently I've sent a message to a friend via the Rootschat pm system but haven't had any reply from them. Of course maybe they just don't want to talk to me, but it did seem a little strange, have any glitches been happening with the pms?

Hi Mary
I'm not aware that the Mods have experienced, or been informed of, any problem.
If anyone else has noticed a problem, please let us know.
I hope you hear back from them soon, Mary!
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)

I sent a PM a couple of nights ago which included a piccie that I'd restored.
I usually hear back fairly quickly from her but, in this instance, I've not heard. I thought it might be an oversight until I read Mary's post :-\

I get plenty of PM's, usually to tell me I as been naughty ;D ;D ;D
-
Ricky, that's cos you're a baaaaaaad boy!
;D
My first advice would be to check whether the recipient has actually been online since you sent the PM in question. If not, they won't have had the PM!
The other aspect is, whether or not they are getting notifications that they have PMs.
And finally, there's the "there is life outside Rootschat (allegedly)" aspect!
;D :o ::) :P :-X
-
None of that apply in my case, AR :-\
I didn't like to PM her to ask if she got my PM - it seemed daft in this instance but I will now :-\
(I agree - Ricky's norty but loverly :D )

Hi Mary
I often PM people with some info etc, and dont get a reply, but they dont get a second chance ;D ;D ;D

Bad Ricky, yes we all know about you ;)
Yes I am positive that the people involved have been online since I sent the pm's and the reason I haven't asked them - by pm - is in case they aren't receiving any, they might not get the next either .... if that makes sense?
In view of the responses received on this thread, I feel certain that there is a glitch and that I wouldn't have been ignored.
Arranroots, perhaps if you are in touch with any of our techie people you could ask them to check up please, and this could have been going on for a month or so, continuing up until at least two days ago.
-
To confirm.
The person got one message but not the other :-\
-
I always copy PMs to myself and oddly, although I know the PMs I've sent have reached the intended recipients (they've replied), I haven't received the copies like I usually do.

I'm happy to mention this to the "Techies" but I know that Trystan is busy doing some updating, so it might be to do with that.
Bear with us, please ...

I had an instance the same as this last week, though in my case possibly doesn't want to talk to me. ;D

RC must be one of the 'biggest' examples of the use of this particular Forum Package.
Very high number of users and threads, not to mention bandwidth required for the Photo restoration genre .....
Not surprised its creaking at the seams ......

The last couple of days I have sent PMs and received them without problems.

You said it!! Yes it is creaking - there's a fair bit of work going on in the background to improve things in the long run, but for now we'll have to put up with the creaking, sorry. ;)
-
There's not much creaking as far as I can see. Rootschat is so good, I don't mind you having to oil it now and again. :D

I've just confirmed with Bob that there does appear to have been a glitch, so if you don't get any replies to your pm's, remember to check them.
Thanks Trystan for the efforts you are making for the site, they are appreciated.

Hi all,
I seem to be able to receive and send PM,S no problem.
Things are a bit different just now but that,s ok.
It is all in a good cause,Rootschat is the best thing since sliced bread in my books!
Trystan and co. do a fantastic job keeping everything working( they need you at Facebook just now)
Creeking and oil !
I thought it was new elastic bands that are being installed!
keep up the good work.
Billy.

How do you reply to PMs? The only option I have to the one that has been sent to me is to delete it. I have the Authors Name but cannot find any way to reply.

I think you need 3 posts before you can reply to a PM, so you need to make another one.

Hi all
Please help me to make PMs work ???
I'm a newbie to RootsChat, (one day old!) and am trying to reply to a PM.
I'm told I have to click on the member profile and then on a little green scroll or a link that appears in the profile box. But I just can't see either in the profile, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere where I can start my own PM.
Can someone help, please?
Thank you
Dee

Kind regards,
