Private messaging issue

[Admin 14,791]

Multiple members have mentioned that the textbox is not always appearing when trying to send a private message.

Who is experiencing this still?

[Admin 14,791]

If anyone is having any issues whatsoever, please do report them in this section of the site, or nothing will get changed.

WARNING

two time for me just Yesterday and today

[F.W 5,734]

Me,most often if its someone ive not been in PM with before.

[glad1 2,832]

It's been working fine for me recently, at least since I've re-installed Google Chrome.

[Scot_Lover 1,877]

Everything is fine here, using Safari/iPad, Opera/PC and Chrome/Sony Experia.

The only thing I would like to see is a notification that the message has been received if this  was possible.

Omg yes a few times in the past 2months

[spywareonya 37,962]

It continues to happen, both with real users with thousands of post, and with maybe-not-real-people who just sign and later disappear so it is not a matter of time spent here or something like that.

 

It seems to be utterly random but my view of life tells that randomness is just an illusion.

 

Last time, Yesterday, contacting a newbie

I believe in a bit of destiny and when something isn't unavailable for me, maybe it is not for me!!! Yet I would like to be free to decide who to PM without Chance deciding things for me

It's been working fine for me recently. But, I'm not much for chance, so when I last sent a PM out, I hope that more than luck is involved in it getting through.

Well, you're wuite right, technology should simply "work"

[spywareonya 37,962]

happening again, almost every newbie is unreachable to me, and the Admin too.

[spywareonya 37,962]

I'm not complaining by the way, just want to know how does it (not) work

[spywareonya 37,962]

I'm starting to have problems. last 10 people I tried to PM (even actual memebers) were un-reachable to me, things are going a bit too far. Please help.

[expererg 1,185]

I did have the problem too last week

[spywareonya 37,962]

I discovered that (maybe this will help the Bossess understand what's going on) if you are contacted by people you CANNOT contact, then it works normally. The problem is about YOU writing for the FIRST time

[Scot_Lover 1,877]

I can't get this to happen, on any browser. Could you let us know what you are using?

 

[spywareonya 37,962]

Microsoft Edge

[Scot_Lover 1,877]

Thanks, I'll have a play with mine and see if I can find anything.

 

[Scot_Lover 1,877]

Hmmm, it broke and not just on Edge.

 

Admin:

When accessing a users profile and clicking message, the To and Subject fields are shown. No text input field is shown.

[spywareonya 37,962]

Yes it says like that

:-( sad face

[expererg 1,185]

Same problem for me. I'm using Chrome on PC. Didn't try on Android.

[steve25805 126,149]

I have been having the same problem.

Was unable to PM my fellow mod Sophie yesterday because the text box failed to appear. 

But I found that by accessing her profile and using the messaging option there, I was able to message her.

Only @Admin has the tech know how to sort this out.

[Scot_Lover 1,877]

Something weird is happening, this error doesn't look consistent, it happens in different ways.

On my iPad (Safari), when I use message on a members profile, the user name and subject will come up ok, then there is a 3 second pause before the message box appears.

The same process happens on the PC, but the text field does not appear (Edge, Opera or Firefox). The only problem with PC though is that somethimes it will work, and not others, just so inconsistent.

There are ways around it, but it's becoming a pain in the butt. I've sent this to Admin as well.
