oxgirl Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Hi out there, I received a pm from a member and I'm trying to reply, but it keeps telling me they're not listed as a member. Can anyone tell me how to sort this please?? Thanks a lot. ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Matthew Baker Report post Posted March 28, 2007 I think it is a problem that has occured since the forum has been updated. I think there are a lot of people having this problem. I've certainly read about it a lot of times in posts. I expect the admin are presently trying to figure out what is wrong. The best way round it is probably to use email if possible in the meantime.

oxgirl Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Oh okay, thanks David. I don't her email addy, but I guess I'll just wait. I hate to think that people are thinking that I'm ignoring them though, iykwim. ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Matthew Baker Report post Posted March 28, 2007 It might be worth PMing or emailing the admin with exactly who you are having this problem with. Also have you tried PMing anyone else. It would probably help them to know if this is a localised or wider problem. I'll try PMing you and you can try replying to me I guess is one way to check. Will send PM in a second.

baddad Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Hi oxgirl - I can't help on this one as it's a bit 'techie', but if they haven't picked up on it already i'll point admin this way... The biggest problem with the new board generally seems to be some incompatabilities with certain browsers - i.e. AOL's, so if you are using AOL that might be it... you could try using Internet Explorer or Firefox... anyways, off to send admin the heads up!

Lufty Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Hi oxgirl As Baddad has pointed out the main problems all seem to be related around browser incompatability and in particular the AOL browser. Can you confirm which browser you are using and also which version. Secondly can you pm or email me with the users you can not PM as this will help me locate the problem. The AOL problem seems to be affecting most other forums using the latest version of forum Software. Kind regards Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Lufty, Could this be something to do with the "block" facility that seems to be a new addition? It's just that looking at my profile today I discovered I had inadvertently blocked 3 members on my pm list - I don't know how: perhaps by accidentally clicking on the "block" next to their name in my inbox? It's not obvious this has happened until you go into the block list and see the names. K x Edited March 28, 2007 by Kathryn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufty Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Hi Kathryn It is certainly worth checking whether a member has been accidentally blocked but there are some remaining problems with sending PMs to certain members. They can be fixed on an individual basis but I need to know which members people are unable to PM. Kind regards Lufty Lufty, Could this be something to do with the "block" facility that seems to be a new addition?

annie Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Lufty, I've just checked my blocked list after reading this and have noticed that Kathryn is on it . I've deleted her from it and just sent her a pm and asked her if she could reply. I'll wait and see what happens . Annie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted March 29, 2007 The only reason she tried PMing me in the first place was to see if it was more widespread. I guess from that my account had a problem too. Not sure if you will have noticed this but TheNeil mentioned that he couldn't PM Mumble in 'My positive thread': ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ QUOTE(Mumble @ Mar 28 2007, 10:05 PM) Wow! Congratuations Hmm - what word am I allowed to use? So what did you do in place of beating him up? Let me guess, the house brick just 'accidentally' slipped out of your hands!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ He made an eloquent little speech about how AS displayed itself, how it affected people and all the rest of it. I then did a little speech of my own that totally contradicted everything he'd just (Aspies don't have a sense of humour indeed tsk, tsk, tsk) BTW Tried to send you a PM but the forum is playing up - you 'don't exist' http://www.asd-forum.org.uk/forum/index.ph...80&start=80 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxgirl Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Oxgirl You should be able to PM David now Lufty Thanks very much again, Lufty. I'm trying to reply to a pm from louxx and it keeps telling me she doesn't exist!! Would be ever so grateful if you could sort it for me.

Bagpuss Report post Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) Mel, I had exactly the same when I tried to PM a particular member, but I did get a reply, so although it said member not recognised, the PM must of been sent. There was no record of the PM's at all either (I'd sent a few, trying to test if it was working). It could be that your PM has been sent too Edited March 29, 2007 by Bagpuss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
