Message 1869698 - Posted: 27 May 2017, 2:08:28 UTC

I really don't know where else to post this... It was mentioned somewhere on the BOINC Boards, but, after checking several places in these Forums, I find NO news on PMs NOT going through, or PM Notification failing to go through.

I've PMed one person here back on May 3rd, and after most of the month passed, and I had no reply, I called that person. They stated that they saw no PM from me.

Normally, in a situation that needs a Mod to look into something, or someone even higher up, I'd PM one of them... But with the PM system NOT working...

Anyone else notice this lack of PM function???

Just sent you one.

Refresh this screen, top right corner- does it show "You have 1 unread message" (or similar)?
Click on the inbox & see if there's anything there from me in the last few minutes.


There have been noises about the email notification of PMs not working, but back at the beginning of this month (last time I got a PM) it came up in my BOINC Manager notices tab, and in the top right corner of most of these forum pages that I had an unread/received a new message.

I got a reply from Jason earlier this month as well.

I stepped away from my computer... Just came back, Reloaded SETI Cafe and found the Notification working again... Got your PM and replied.

Thank you. :-)

I will send my other contact from the 3rd another PM, now.

My last PMs on the 8th and 9th seems to be working OK.
Also I normally try to remember to include myself when I reply to PMs. That way I'll Know if I actually replied or not.

P.M.'s notifications have been working here (especially for those that like hitting red "x's" on me), but I have heard that some have been having problems with their email notifications for such reasons (though I only actually check my emails when I've bought something online).

Cheers.

Well, the way I chose to get the PM Notifications are "Boards Only"; I have e-Mail Notifications turned off. So, when I Reload the Cafe, or here in NC, I always look at the "Private messages" area. Tonight, after Grant sent his PM, my PM Notification showed "1 PM". In addition, I ALWAYS have my "Inbox" opened in a separate Browser Tab; so, upon notification, I Reload that Page to see new PMs.

The person whom I sent a PM on the 3rd STILL has NOT replied, even though I contacted him by phone to talk to him about some stuff and let him know that PM and two others from me were sent.

I will keep monitoring.

Thanks all. :-)

I never thought to copy myself... I think I'll start doing that.

Thanks. :-)
