Re: Why can't I see my private messages ??

It is not really a big problem; set your profile to Email notice of PMs, and you will know when you have really received a PM. There are more important software problems at the moment, as we try to keep up with the growing number of users here at English Forums, and many will be resolved when new software is installed.

Meanwhile, Eagle, soar high and try to ignore these small, earthbound irritants.

Hello AE

The webmaster isn't around at the moment, but we'll try to fix it as soon as we can.

Did you try deleting your EF cookie?

Thanks alot for everyone took part in this topic ..

Thanks alot for your instructions ..

But .. What a pity !

The problem is still ON

I Think the best thing - although I already know that

it's rejected - is to install a new version of the forum

and replace it with a (Vb) style ..

That - Surely - will fix it safely .. JUST TRY .. !!

Hmm. Now it seems to be happening to me, but refreshing the page does not help. I think it may be associated with a PM that Nilla sent me, and which she then deleted at her end before I could check my PM box. (That is, I received notification by email, but when I got here there was nothing in the box, even though the envelope was (and is) blinking merrily.)

Traffic was pretty heavy.

Try refreshing the page. It should go away.

We've sent for help, Ancestral Eagle. If the traffic is not too bad, it should arrive soon. Hang in there!

Click on Private Messages. If there are no messages on view, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check that "date filter" says "show all".

I did what u wanted and I found the filter says " show all " .. !!

If no message appears, try logging out and logging in again.

Will that help ??

Anyway , I'll try ..

...

Mr Pedantic , The most confusing thing that after replying to your ( Test ) message ..

The envelope is still blinking although I already logged in and read the message !!

In fact .. This drives me mad .. !!

Hello, Ancestral Eagle

We'll need a mechanic to find out why the envelope is blinking, but if there's nothing in your Private Messages, then you have none. I see nothing wrong with the settings of yours that I have access to. Have you received PMs in the past?

Hello Eagle

It sounds rather mysterious.

Click on Private Messages. If there are no messages on view, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check that "date filter" says "show all".

If no message appears, try logging out and logging in again.

If that doesn't work, try deleting your EnglishForums cookie (let me know if you're not sure where to find it).

If that doesn't work, let us know, and we'll all stand round scratching our beards and looking very thoughtful...

Why can't I see my private messages ??

The_Ancestral_Eagle — Fri, 19 May 2006 09:54:23 GMT

Peace be upon u ..

You know that at the top of the page , there are welcoming words ,

then comes the

word ( log out ) and finally , the word ( Faq ) ..

All I want to ask about it is ..

Why is there a blinking sign of a yellow envelope following my

name ??

I know that it refers to unread messages ..

But .. Why - when I press and log into the message box - can't I find

any messages ??

Yes .. I always find nothing at all !!

Is that a drawback concerning my settings or WHAT ??

Please .. Help me ..

Thanks alot ..
