Author Topic: Private messages Richard B. Perrine Film Handler Posts: 89 From: Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio Registered: Apr 2000 posted 11-25-2018 06:41 PM                     Out of the few times that I've seen someone post that they are looking for parts in the equipment section of Film-tech....they most times don't post contact information....so I've set a couple of PM's when I have something that they want. No one ever opens their PMs... Do they get a message at their email that someone has replied. Seems like a PM is dead end.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I often see oddities in the For Sale section but no way to really respond to the post.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

I recently thought to do that and discovered someone had sent me one months ago.  |  IP: Logged Peter Foyster Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: ROLEYSTONE WESTERN AUSTRALIA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 11-26-2018 08:43 AM                     Well, that might explain why I am still waiting for a reply to a private message I sent about six months ago regarding a circuit board for a projector. I just assumed that I was being ignored. Perhaps that is not the case.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-26-2018 08:51 AM                        There is a setting at the bottom of your "My Profile" to allow notifications be sent to you when you receive a PM. Just update your profile. It doesn't help when the person on the other side doesn't have it turned on, but at least you won't have unread messages sitting in your box.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-26-2018 06:27 PM                     I get an email notification if someone PMs me from the forum. I noticed however that some people may have stored outdated email addresses in their profile, so these notifications never reach them. Also, that notification includes the message, so, people having read that mail may never read itt again on the forum, so, it is never marked as read. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
