Hi Haken, so I've tried to send messages to Signe and Anthony since the new site was put into official use. I press the send button, it shows a little box that pops up and says something like Are you sure you want to send this message? and I click yes and then it acts like it sent, but I never get any thing back, even though I sent Anthony a test message for him to write back to if it sent. So I don't think my forum friends being lazy are to blame here. Could you check and see why I can't get my PMs to go where they're supposed to go?

Has anyone else had trouble sending them with the new system?

Hmm. Well, I never get an "are you sure you want to send this message," I just get a box that says "message sent".

But, I've never had any problem with people not receiving them. It could be the way the messages are being sent from the new site they're being rerouted into their email junk folder on accident, and in regards to Anthony, I messaged him once, and he said that it sometimes takes him a while to get back to someone because this account is tied to an email he doesn't use as much anymore.

Have you exchanged PMs back and forth with anyone else? Because it could also be that people are sending them, but you aren't receiving them.

ETA: I just successfully sent and received PMs between this account and a dummy, so I don't seem to be having any problems. (There was a few minutes of lag time between hitting send and getting the message, but that's pretty typical for my email accounts). If you'd like to test your PMs again, I'd be happy to help.

Okay YinYang, I just sent you a message, do write back if you got it. Thanks.

I got it. That means Signe and Anthony should check their spam filters, the problem isn't on my end.
