Privage Message Display

Private Message Display

I was wondering if there is a way to make the "Private Message" display indicator more visible? Possibly something flashing or make the number of unread larger.

People I have left messages for have told me they took so long because they did not realize they had a private message and the same for me.

Just wondering.

I am not sure what is up here, but someone deleted your post. I saw the deletion and it said it was a test. Since that person is not a moderator on this forum, I am going to forward the info on to Lindsay. In any case I put your post back as active, but left your second attempt at posting it as deleted.

There has been some mighty strange things happening lately.

Thank you, Lou Maag. That explains a lot. It seems, then, this person was tracking my postings, because I was having difficulty on others as well; I was trying to edit one of my posts and had all kinds of problems.

Thank you.

Hopefully the situation will be resolved. Something to be concerned about if this was an unauthorized access.

In regard to your original question, may I suggest that you change your notification of PM to email. That way you are sure to see that you have a message, of course you do have to look at your email for this to work.

As a side note, you will notice that one of my posts has now been deleted. I am going to leave it as is and just repeat what I said right above.

I will repeat, something strange is going on here.

who is deleting posts & how can they do that? sounds really fishy!

Agreed, good points. Better to have Private Messages go directly to email of the receipient.

Yes you can (see Options in your UserCP) but if you are not paying attention, you will miss it. It is tough to miss an email.

Thanks for that info!

The problem is, I see the email, delete it, then forget I had a new PM.

The notification email will include subtext of the message.
