Can anybody answer this for me, please? When there's a pm conversation, I can't find a way of reading and following the two-way conversation. It means constantly faffing around clicking on Inbox and Sent to read the whole conversation.

Am I doing something wrong or is it always like this? (I'm currently on desktop, if that makes any difference)

That's my experience, too. I would love to know if there is a way around it, I agree minimouse it's frustrating.

Izzywizzy Fri 22-Sept-17 12:30:19

Me too. I thought it was just me being inept.

I don't think there is a way round but I agree it's frustrating.

Oh, I'm so glad it's not just me being a tech-numpty!

Let's hope that HQ can do something about it smile

Nothing your doing wrong you have to read the message and then go through to sent if you want yo check what you wrote before quite time consuming

We could also do with the same 'preview message' facility as you get with posts.

Ah, that's a fair point and something we've not looked at before. Leave it with us, thanks.

Thanks, Lara smile

Why does the italics function not seem to work on private messaging, or is it just me?

Is there any update on these, especially MM's op query?

LauraGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 17-Oct-17 11:29:21

Not yet, Squiffy, but we'll update you as soon as possible.

Squiffy Tue 17-Oct-17 12:25:43

Thank you smile Lara

Oops! Sorry, Laura!

Do private messages get sent to the individual's email account, or are they stored on the Grandsnet site, please?

Athena you get an email telling you that you've got a PM with a link to click on.

BlueBelle Wed 29-Nov-17 08:22:35

Athena they do not go through your email they stay with GN
