Private Messages

[Mary]

I have ticked the boxes in my profile to request to be notified of a new private message and also ticked for a pop-up box for notification.

I don't seem to get any notification at all :?:   (Apologies to those who have PM'd me and I have responded promptly :wink: )  The message at the top of the forum screen remains as 'You have no new messages' even when I have :?:

Do you use AOL Mary? Or another ISP.
Could be a cookie problem, I'll have a look around to see if I can see anything at fault.
Anyone else getting this error?                    

[Mary]

No...I'm Freeserve Stuart :?

Are any of your inbox/outbox/sentbox/savebox full?                    

[Mary]

None of them are full.

I just asked Gilly to PM me and it worked :? so perhaps my eyes need testing :?

I don't get the pop up box though but Gilly wondered if I have a pop up killer installed.  Jim recently installed Norton Internet Security so could that have come with one?

Hope I've not been wasting your time :oops:

I'm not sure about Norton (we had to remove our Norton because it conflicted with everything!) but yes a pop up killer would prevent the pop up box from displaying correctly.
As Cassie says hitting F5 or clicking Refresh should show you the latest version of the page. Windows sometimes relies on the cache to show pages (which on a forum go out of date quickly) so a refresh should do the trick and show you if you have any messages too.
Not wasting time at all Mary, it's good to hear the problems so that in future we can have a FAQ about how to resolve them.

Oh no :shock: we've had enough problems with this PC and hope this isn't going to be a problem too :cry:

Not sure on that one Dessie, is it any user in particular or just random?                    

[Dessie]

Just random Stuart  :cry: or maybe they've blocked me  :wink:

Do you get a message saying the message hasnt been sent, or do the message simply stay in your outbox rather than go to your sent box - if the latter, then it's because messages arent sent until the recipient logs in?                    

[Dessie]

Mike - I replied to a message to you yesterday and it is still in my OutBox.                    

[Mike]

That's odd - although it didnt say I had any messages, I do actually have one from you (about the Guernsey Gache, right?  :wink: )

These gremlins are having fun arent they
