For Admins: PMs

Post by hmvmanuk » Sat Feb 13, 2010 1:26 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Sorry to post this on here but I'm a bit uncertain about how the Personal Messages feature works. I sent one to 'Admin' a couple of days ago and haven't had a reply so I'm not sure if it got there. When I clicked 'submit' on my message it went into my Outbox and has stayed there. Does that mean it hasn't gone to the recipient? I would've expected it to have gone to the Sent Messages box if it had sent. If it hasn't gone out, what am I doing wrong? It's probably something obvious! :oops:

Thanks for your help,

Gavin

As I understand it, messages will sit in the Outbox until the recipient logs in, after which it will move to their inbox.

The "admin" user isn't a manned account. It's used to install the forum software, after which proper user names are created and then given admin status, thus ensuring all admin functions are logged by name and there is no anonymous admin usage through a shared "admin" account.

If you wanted to resubmit the PM to either Joanna, masch or myself we can look into it. :D

Thanks for that, DJ. I don't think I need to re-submit as you've cleared up what I was unsure about.

Thanks again,

Gavin
