Private Messages don't work for me - others?

I've just discovered that PMs don't seem to work correctly for me. I used to get an email notifying me that I have a PM, but now I don't get the notifying email.


I checked my profile for another reason a few days ago and found that I had several old PMs, some as old as December.


Anybody else have this problem?

I have problems with PM also the only way I can send a PM to someone is if I reply to one they have sent me. I often don't get notifications of PM's

If I click on the private message link on this page, I can send a message. If I click on your name and go to your profile page and then click on the private message link there, I can't. Go figure. LOL

That might be the same for you mr marv?

Over the last month I've tried to send a PM and thought I did but nothing appeared to the recipient, and I've also had the same experience when somebody sent me a message and I never got an email OR had a message in my queue on the message page. And yet, sometimes it works as advertised.


It does seem intermittently unreliable.

@ headloss You are right it is the same for me . I just sent you a PM trying your idea. I think it worked.

pm notifications almost always go to the spam box for me. salty, can you do anything about that?

Ha - assuming you mean gmail, you can set up a filter (pull down menu on the right -> filter messages like these) and tell it to never sent it to spam. Or, if you click "not spam" on a few of them it should learn - they don't go to spam for me, even without a filter.


The links have always been broken in the way headloss described.


Back to the OP, I seem to remember another recent thread about notifications being broken and/or there being some profile setting, but I can't find it.
