PM problem

original sin · 17 May 2003, 16:15

Now this is probably just me

being stupid

plus having a s**t computer.

But my email keeps teeling my I have new pm's several times today and when I go look there's nuffin there

It has just happened again now and I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring them......

any ideas???

Tim · 17 May 2003, 16:17

mmm, that is very strange... Have you already read the messages in the mailbox.... and then really deleted them??

And you have read the new Pm's that you have on this box... mmm... maybe a cookie problem or temporary internet files problem... You can try to clean that, maybe the problem is solved.

Otherwise, don't know it for now.

The Butcher, Tim

No tim I haven't already read them 'cos these are new messages coming to my lycos email from mlukfc telling me here is a new pm.

and the only thing i know about cookies...is that they are nice if they've got chocolate chips in 'em

Hi original sin, this has also happened to me

R did give me a reason why it might happen. I think it maybe the person who's sending you the pm deleting it from their end before you've read it.

Jen · 17 May 2003, 17:02

This happened to me the other day too, so it's not just you Sin

original sin · 17 May 2003, 17:05

yep sorry guys I just had a reply from R. seems like thats the answer .....
is it intentional? accidental? or what?

Tim · 17 May 2003, 17:20

OMG... another mystery!! THis is the international Meat loaf missing PM mystery!

But it's moved i see.... to my forum part. You see... this is the best forum part to be a mod of... And what a mod i am. hahaha

original sin · 17 May 2003, 17:34

you still holding on to that Mod-God title Tim.....

I think this mystery needs Mulder & Scully...quick get the phone

Tim · 17 May 2003, 17:46

Mod - god.... no... just wanted to say it, for a very long time, and now it was the time to say it!!! Me no mod-god... just an very arrogant notification from me... won't happen again... sorry!!

Guppie · 17 May 2003, 17:56

I think R's explanation is the anwer.

You have an outbox and a sentbox.
If you send someone a PM, it goes to your outbox.
After the receiver reads it, it goes to your sentbox.
That way, you can always see if a person already read your PM or not.
But if you delete messages in your outbox, the receiver gets a mail that there's a new pm, but it's already gone.

Bren · 17 May 2003, 18:00

I had the same problem Sin. EMAIL says i have pm,when i look, nothing there i was puzzled too, but thought it was just me being stupid, and done something wrong.

guppie - i havent touched my sentbox or my outbox, so dont understand.

Tim · 17 May 2003, 18:08

But now there is another question. Who is doing that?? Who is sending those PM's to everybody and directly delete them..... Strange.

I think not everybody knows that a PM in your outbox hasn't been read yet by the one you send it to.
So they think it is sent and then they delete.

Cant see this particular problem on that link R. It would appear that loads of people have experienced it maybe it would be worth a mention there for future users.

and if it is there than i'm more dumb than i thought

I don't know, but I had a problem with PM notifications once. I received a PM notification for a PM I'd received over a month before.
