Sending private messages through GN

No-one has ever sent me a private message unless I've sent one first.

I have almost always received a reply and they have always been nice replies.

Quizqueen - I am uncertain about whether or not I've ever sent you a private message. If so, I would have had good intentions and not meant to upset you. I think, sometimes, people just want to answer or help without airing their personal business on a public site where they could be recognised.

Where do you find personal messages on gransnet?

In the "Inbox" Esspee. On a laptop that is at the top right of the page, next to the button that says "Log Out"

I have sent you a short message - you will see it when you go to your inbox.

I think 'message removed at poster's request' just means that someone has been tidying up their message boxes.

If you delete sent messages the recipient gets that message 'message removed at sender's request' in their inbox and the messages from that person are deleted.

I don't think the converse happens ie if you delete your inbox the sender doesn't lose theirs.

There was also a GNHQ IT blip a while ago where messages were getting deleted randomly!

Espee, if you look further up the thread, I have posted a screenshot of where your inbox can be found.

Ah thanks Callistemon

I don’t understand why you would think a pm intrusive Quizqueen ?

Is it not just someone reaching out to sympathise or offer support ? Or someone offering a recommendation to do with a post you made ? Rather than clog up a thread a pm makes so much more sense . I don’t think I understand your rationale ?
