posticon PM's vanishing


Hi all

Firstly. Thank you for these excellent forums. I feel bad about having to complain about a problem, but sorry, I need too emoticon

Quite a few of the PM's I have sent recently don't seem to be getting through, several sent to me have vanished as well and a couple of other people on my forum have reported the same problem. My board is at:

http://com2.akheva.com/bthesideshowcommunity

Please please please let me know what can be done. I don't want my members thinking I am ignoring there requests!

Cheers

David Straitjacket

I'm not a moderator here, but, have you and the members set your emails to allow these PM's? I had to authorize my Yahoo account to let my Akheva PM's get through to me because I have everything set to block EVERYTHING except someone in my address book.

My PM's are working great. received one about an hour ago.

Backing up a step, are you aware that PMs go to the email account you signed up with?

Hi

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I have my email set up and as far as I know get most of my PM's, but definatly not all of them. I can also say with certainty that one of the people that has reported not reciving all his PM's, including a couple from me, has been recieving some. So he has definitly got his email address set up correctly.

Thanks for the help so far emoticon

I will check it tomorrow.

However, 99% probability the problem is on your side. If email didn't work correctly, new users couldn't sign up, and they sure sign up en masse every day.

Re: PM's vanishing


I have e-mail through my ISP...I use my Outlook Express no problems but I have many Friends that use free e-mail accounts and I have noticed many times that either my mail to them gets returned I have had to resend up to 4 times...Or it takes them sometimes a few days to get the mail I sent...This could be the problem?!?!

That is something else to consider. About a year ago, Yahoo and Hotmail ran though a phase, probably with only certain servers, holding my and a friends emails for up to a week before releasing them.

NOTE: I understand also, that companies having set their emails to block spam has also found they blocked incoming emails from customers and others. If any members are using company email this might be checked, too.
