   I get quite a lot of PM's and am finding it diffcult answering PM's from others simply because there seems to be no system for identifying new PM's. I can't find any tags to say that a PM has been read or unread, so, if you've recently sent me a PM and I've not replied, please forgive me. i'm not meaning to be ignorant. I'm just finding it difficult sifting through those i already have.

   I'm finding it a little annoying having to open every PM just to see if there has been a reply.

   I'm one of those who tend to keep PM's from others so they accumulate. Maybe it's time I changed my habits, lol.

   I've been wondering if anyone else was as confused as I about how the personal IM's don't act like the old mod pm's, and differ in markup code from the main forums- I see it's not my settings.

   Thanks, WR.

   Yes, me too. Totally confused.

   I sent the Wrascally Rabbit an answer to one PM and the system sent ME an email saying "delenn13 has sent you an Private message" or something to that effect. I sent ME an email?

   I was so confused, I ended up sending the Furry One an email..as I don't even know whether he got my PM or not..or was it just sent to me. I know I clicked on the reply button for him..but the way the system is set up.. I haven't a clue as to whether it was sent...or how it shows unread or new messages.

   Maybe the new messages could be bolded? Oh, and WR, the past three messages from me have been updated :P
   Final thought... we really need that big ol' number that says how many new numbers there are.

   Isn't there a "new" in front of a new PM???
   Or have I dreamt that? - LOL
   What I'm missing is the fact that I can't see anymore if the PM I wrote has been read by the recipient.

   Last night I had nine new PM's to read, but I didn't read any; this morning I had 12 PM's to read, yet the column that says freshness says the newest is 5 days old. None of my PM's says new next to it????

   It seems to me that the freshness indicates the original PM. any answers are not logged, so it may be a better option to send a new email rather than answer the PM that you have received answered. I actually like the ability to see what was written previously, but the mark up sytem sucks.

   When I have the time I'll sift through them all and answer any unanswered ones.

   Regards

   WR

   Lox is correct Stephen. If you look at the beginning of the subject line it will say New. That is how you can differentiate the new PM's from the old ones. However, if you have several new ones in the same thread of PM's, you'll just have to figure out which ones are the new ones lol.

   Okay, I vote we ALL get a Twitter account, then we can Tweet one another instead of PM's here OR just to let the other person know they have a message waiting for them here. I've been trying to talk WR into it for a little while here .. c'mon Stephen! Come "Follow" me on Twitter - and anyone else who would like to do so. Here I am:

    Hi all I was wondering what had happened with the new system, this a PM I sent WR a week ago:-
    

    Hi Wabbit

    I would like to take you up on the offer of a Ricochet game if possible? If it hasn't gone already could I possibly have the Infinity version please mate?

    I read most if not all of your reviews and have to say that it has helped me no end in choosing games etc. Keep up the good work. :-)

    I didn't worry about this too much WR as I know that you had some family problems recently and your health can be up and down.

    Hey there, WhiteRabbit - we all have busy lives to lead, for sure, so not to worry.
    By the way, thank you for thanking me the other day on one of my GiveAway software download comments about the 502 error message (which has now been fixed.) Always glad to be of help if I can.

    Best,
    Happy
