How come DISers haven't read the PMs I sent???

[MaryAnnDVC]

When I look at "tracking", they've been on since I sent them PMs, but haven't read them. How come??

Some people don't have their PM alerts set Mare.

You can opt to have "e-mail" or "pop up" notification to alert you of incoming messages. If neither are activated, then the user might not even be aware they have any messages.

Send me one, I'll be happy to respond to you!

Some people also have their PM option set off. I am not sure if the PM system tells you when somebody has turned off their PM option. They may not even be receiving them. A few of my friends have done this... some people just like their privacy and prefer not to exchange PMs.

But...a moderator? a DIS CON coordinator? and an all around DIS CON fanatic??

 

[teri]

Yep... some people do turn off their PMs because they prefer to keep things to e-mail, or on the boards. It is like IM... some people tell their IM screen name to everyone, others keep it to a few friends. If you are trying to reach someone by PM and they don't respond, and they don't answer e-mail, you might post a heads-up on their board and see if they respond to that.

I have to admit, I used to IM all the time, and now I NEVER do. It got really annoying to be interrupted.

It was no big deal...the PMs I was trying to send; just an update on things that they'll definitely find out other ways, and probably already know. I just couldn't understand why they weren't getting them.

By the time I figure all this stuff out, the DIS will probably have all new features.

Mare,

Why do you think the Tech board really exist???

This way they can keep up with how many people are figuring out the current features and when a certain number get the hang of it, they can change it and sit back and watch the confusion!!

 

[teri]

yep, just like always, we are rats in the maze...

Maybe you are on their "ignore list". Just kidding!

That occurred to me.

 

[teri]

Since I never have, and never will, used the ignore function on these boards, I do not know if that has any effect on PMs. That would be an interesting thing to know... tech folks?

 

[Chris C]

I'll try to ignore you teri, but I'm sure it won't work!


(by the way mare... your PM box is full, the last message I tried to send you told me so!)

 

[teri]

OK, Chris, I sent you a PM. Hey, wait a minute, you can't see this, how will you know....


waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

 

[Chris C]

I saw you as the last poster teri, so I decided to turn you back on...

I guess Moderators can ignore people!
