|
|
I can't find anywhere the difference between SentBox and OutBox.
I have a number of messages I've "sent"!? in both.
Those in SENTBox all have green "Flags", while all those in OUTBox have red ones.
Am I right in guessing the OUTBox are messages I have sent, but which haven't yet been read by the recipients ? (One was actually to ArcadeBoss, back on 10 April! - does this mean it's still sitting UNREAD in his InBox ???)
And maybe this explains why I see msgs in ShoutBox periodically from ICBM, reminding people to read their messages. Huh? - I'd have thought NOONE could fail to see that distinctive red DOT up the top of the page!? LOL |

That´s correct Eagle_Kiwi
Outbox = messages unread by the recipient
Sentbox = messages read by the recipient |

Quite belated thanks, Twi$ter!
Ok, Phase 2:
Here's quite a list of messages I've sent various folks, and apparently I've been wasting my time !? - as they still show UNREAD.
Date . . . Date User
Sent . . . Last Seen . . . User ID
3 Apr . . . 16 Sep . . . ladyluck27
10 Apr . . 14 Sep . . . ArcadeBoss
10 Jun . . 16 Sep . . . mrs.young
21 Jun . . 28 Jul . . . . contentloc
15 Jul . . . 16 Sep . . . Eddie 1878
30 Aug . . 8 Sep . . . . stompa1
12 Sep . . 16 Sep . . . nowurmessingwith
I've not included the "Monthly Highscore Lost" ones, as I know one doesn't HAVE to "read" those to understand what's in them.
And I read somewhere that ArcadeBoss probably DOES somehow "read" his, even tho they may still show as UNread.
Is there some problem with the red dot that tells someone they have an unread message ? (I've a suspicion that that appears only once - and if u miss it you'll never be reminded again, unless/until you deliberately go into your messages to check).
After all that I must question whether the system actually offers anything. Apart from AB those other 6 users have all been "last seen" SINCE I messaged them - is it true that in fact they HAVE all been advised they have a msg, and overlooked/ignored it ? ? ?
(I've never had replies from any of them - but I've sent many similar msgs to others and HAVE had replies just fine). |

Some people don't read their messages or have email notification turned off and they maybe unaware that the red dot signifies a new message.
We're not aware of any problems with the messaging system.
Yes AB can read his messages without opening them. _________________ >

Ok Mr.Jepps,
Guess I shall not message anyone in future unless/until I know that they DO know how to, and wish to, READ their messages.
which kinda limits me a bit ... but .... if you don't think that's a "problem", then fine.  |

your message system was probably shutoff due to the issues between you and slayer, probably temporary but not sure. _________________ Until you can be Boss of the month 13 times str8 : SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!! |

That's right. You abused it and you lost it. If AB thinks you've grown up enough maybe he'll reinstate it for you. _________________ -2nd Person to Join

There was, but he smartened up. You on the other hand continued being an ass with him in the Chat Room. Moderators ARE NOT above the law here. Maybe AB or Mr Jepps Se will return the function. They're the only ones here who can. _________________ -2nd Person to Join
