Title: Just being nosey...
Post by: Justin B. on March 20, 2007, 11:59:16 PM: I have spent some time looking at logs and doing some cleanup today and found a lot of PMs in my messaging outbox, sent to various folks (some pretty old), that have never been read. [smiley=shocked2.gif] I am curious if this is some sort of system/forum PM engine glitch or if y'all just usually ignore me... :-/ If it's the latter don't worry about it, I understand, I've been married for 30 years and am used to being ignored... :P

So who is more popular now?

(gosh i'm funny tonight...(this morning...))

Post by: SCJJR65 on March 21, 2007, 05:46:47 AM: Speaking for myself, I've only had a few PMs sent to me (by you, Justin, along with Rob and a couple of others) which I have opened, read and responded to. I don't think I have any problems on this end!

I wish I got more PMs! :-/ Of course, I was never very popular in high school, either! ::)

Post by: Ed Miller on March 21, 2007, 08:37:31 PM: I have 0 messages. This forum reminds me every time I log on.

But it doesn't bother me. Not a bit.

Post by: Justin B. on March 21, 2007, 10:56:24 PM: OK, Ed, you were one of the culprits. Do you read the e-mails the board sends you and then just go into messaging and delete the messages without actually opening them? That might explain it. If this is the case, then I may submit a request to the YaBB folks to have another category, like deleted without reading, added - if possible. I think Yabb version 2.2 is in Beta...

Great, put me on the defensive.

No, I would read any email the board sent me, but I don't believe it has sent me any.

...wait....
read, then delete without opening? That sounds wierd. Send me a pm, and I'll let you know. But right now, I don't think so.

Post by: Rob Valdez 79 R65 on March 22, 2007, 10:27:23 PM: Well, you can see the first part of the message without opening it.

A person could think that is all there is to the message (or get enough information) and then delete it without opening it.

Post by: msbuck on March 22, 2007, 10:34:17 PM: I also get an email with the PM, so I don't have to open it in the forum. I usually do, though. 8-)

Post by: Justin B. on March 23, 2007, 07:52:33 AM: That is normal operation. If you post a PM to someone the system will e-mail the notice to them and it also sends along the content of the PM. I'm thinking this might be an oversight on the developers that if you delete the PM, without actually opening it up in the Forum message system, it will still show as unread in your outbox...
