beigemartin Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This thread should probably be on the 'About this forum' board.Anyway - I sent myself a PM and received a notification from [email protected].Have the supposed recipients of the notifications checked their spam folders?

Sue Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have also had this happen recently, but I thought it was people just not reading their messages, or else not ticking the box asking to be notified of them by email.Or else they have already sold the item in question (for example) and can't be bothered to read or respond to any other messages about it. Which is sort of understandable, but also quite rude (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beigemartin Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 If you go to your sent messages you can see if they have read your message or not. I also think it's rude to not even reply to a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny pink Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 'Being annoyed or disappointed' about pms not been read or answered?......Why?....if you get multiple pms,would you send out 10+ pms?............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 YesOr else, as some people do, post on your thread that you have had too many replies to respond individually, but the article is now sold, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah-marie Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thank you.. I will see if I need to change something on my settings but I can see they haven't read theirs.. And didn't realise a place to post about this forum.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bli Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Recently I haven?t been getting the usual email notifications that I have a PM despite my settings still set for this so wonder if there is a problem somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guna nua Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have sent a couple of private messages recently that have been read and I have had no response, just thought people couldn?t be bothered to reply which in my opinion is very rude.

Ornella Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It happened to me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am happy Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Totally agree, if your item it sold, it would be nice put Sold next to the subject heading. I don't have a problem responding to 10 people, just copy and paste the same message. I'm sure if we had to write a review, everyone would respond..looo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjw Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I think it is right to respond to anyone who has sent a pm. In my case the original response from me shows as not being read by the recipient..Maybe they are on holiday ? and not receiving notification they have a pm. Who knows --still annoying!

beigemartin Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It seems Ornella, bli and seemster are the people who are missing notification emails (ie they expected to receive one or more, but didn't). Have these people checked their email spam folders?An easy way to test the notifications is to send a PM to yourself. If these aren't coming through, and emails are not going to spam I will raise with Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bli Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 They are not in my spam and have always worked fine in the past so this is a recent problem over the last 2 weeks roughly. But this week I am getting notifications so it May have been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have items for sale, and I ticked the box to get email notifications.I didn't have any, so I didn't check my messages.Now I find I have three messages re these items.What's going on?

beigemartin Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have created a new thread about this on the "about this forum" board and will email the administrator. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,2069863 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Administrator Posted October 18, 2019 Administrator Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'll reply here as well. Whilst I can't solve the "people don't reply to PMs" / lack of courtesy problem there does seem to be an intermittent mail sending problem that affects some messages. We have fixed it and currently it seems ok but we know there's a problem if we're informed by you. If you do notice a problem it would help if you could please email us at [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
