Title: PM !!!!!
Post by howke on Dec 19^th, 2011, 1:12pm

Is private messaging working on this forum , cause i sent few messages and got no reply in 7 days now ???

It was sent to active members of this forum , should i try instead and send them message out of forum ?

There is no problem as far as I know. It is of course down to individuals to reply and the Moderators have no access or control over PMs. Equally we cannot intervene in the purchase of spare parts as it is a matter purely between the individuals. :)

Have you checked they are in your outbox?

Sometimes if you navigate away too quickly they don't get sent.

Some people that come to the forum are very busy at their work, or sometimes away off-shore, or don't check-in as regular as others. I sometimes check-in and forget to look to the top of the page at my messages! Make sure you're logged-in, and you look at messages. I have on occasion sent messages to members and not had a reply for a few days, it's not a problem, be patient, this is a fantastic forum but some of us have a lot of other things on the go.

Mike,

If you go to your messages you’ll see “preferences” on the right just above the remove column. Click on that & you can request to receive notifications to your registered email address.

What I'm suggesting is if you moved to another site too quickly your message may not have been sent.

I've been caught out by this - when I checked my outbox later the message wasn't there which meant it hadn't been sent hence I never received a reply.

You sometimes have to wait several seconds for the message to go, hence my advice to check the outbox – if it’s not there it wasn’t sent.

been using it from the day i joined the forum
@Tompion --- i been checking in outbox folder for sent pm and they where sent, its just that i havent receive any reply, my thoughts was either PM is not working or mederators are just ignoring me ;D

I sent few more PM to more active members and looks like my effort wasnt worthless ... i found a member that would send me injectors.

I know we all have our lives outside the Scorpio forum, furthermore its Christmas time and we all are in a big rush.

Cheers all
Ivan

hi there

sorry for not replying. most of the time i spend on the site is from my phone, so i can miss pm's.

re your question regarding parts.
a few of us have had bad experiences dealing with some sellers (now banned from the site) and so would make us very reluctant to help. terrible that it comes down to that, but that's life.

i have noticed that someone is willing to help you and i hope everything works out.

regards
