They could then reply "Done"

I am sending this message to Muddy.... who often forgets to empty hers, but I am sure she isn't the only one!

I hope they will get the reminder when it appears as a new post.
I know guilty as charged .
But I still have 2% left .

Re: PM messages!

Well I was about to subscribe until I was told what threads I was allowed to start and post on.

I’ve always supported forums like this who have a niche audience and therefore membership I apprieciate that they exist and do what I can to support them

Re: PM messages!

Why do people need to send Personal Messages? Surely if we have something to chat about, then that's what the forum is for isn't it?

Not everyone is open and honest.

Then they shouldn't chat on internet forums if they are not out to be genuine. I'd much rather speak to my friends face to face than natter on the internet anyway. That way you know if they are telling the truth or not.

PMs can be used to intimidate people.

Can’t they just

I had a lot of filth and abuse in my inbox elsewhere when a poster who I sat up all night with when apparently suicidal decided when he was pissed as a fart he could abuse everyone


Oh I got an apology when he sobered up, but it led me to think that perhaps I shouldn’t believe a word that’s written

I think I have the same restrictions, it’s a bit like being tagged

Re: PM messages!

Please do not discuss what happened on other forums here, we are not interested. Thank you.
