I need to contact someone with some important news but don't seem to be able to send PMs. Is anyone else having a problem?

Having a problem sending a PM just now.

I'm sure SupertechDan will be on the case and let us know when it's fixed. I think HQ may have got the message by now ?, or perhaps not!

You can send PMs, but can't reply to one.
Auntieflo, I knew you wouldn't mind! wink

Tuesday and the pm s are still not working
Any news ?

Still not working and I am furious. I received duplicate messages yesterday from the same person, wrote a detailed reply and it has failed to send ever since. I can’t cut and paste so not only have I lost my message which took a good ten minutes to write but the addressee presumably thinks I haven’t bothered to reply.

I feel we can't really make a fuss, as we are not paying for this site and sometimes, these problems are difficult to solve. I know from my experiences, when our whole school site would go down and staff would be complaining.

I hope the techies pick up on the screenshot I posted of the script and are able to work out what is wrong.

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback and the screenshots, they're helping us diagnose the problem. We think we have a solution and we will be working on it as soon as possible.

I'll post back here once we've released the solution.

Once again, sorry for the inconvenience flowers

Still not working for me either.

BlueBelle Tue 16-Feb-21 20:55:44

Nor me

Iam64 Tue 16-Feb-21 20:57:15

Nor me

Mollygo Tue 16-Feb-21 21:01:36

Not me and it’s 21.01 now.

Charleygirl5 Tue 16-Feb-21 22:21:10

I managed to send one but 20+ arrived! I did not receive a reply although one was sent.

BlueBelle Tue 16-Feb-21 22:23:04

Someone has sent me 15 without realising but I ve received nothing

Charleygirl5 Tue 16-Feb-21 22:25:30

Snap Bluebelle. Hopefully tomorrow GNHQ will get it sorted.

Ramblingrose22 Tue 16-Feb-21 23:55:39

Still not working! I do hope this gets fixed ASAP.

I had a PM this morning, a test but my test reply wouldn’t send. Gremlins ?

FannyCornforth Wed 17-Feb-21 10:16:36

Has anyone found that there has been any progress? Any news about this?
Apparently I can send them (accordingly to the recipient - I have no evidence of this in my 'sent' box)
but I cannot receive them.
Over the past four days the problems have varied, different on-screen notifications etc.

Auntieflo Wed 17-Feb-21 11:16:18

I just discovered this morning, that I had a PM in my inbox, at the top of the page. I usually get them in my email inbox. IYSWIM.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 17-Feb-21 11:42:19

Beginning to think that GNHQ do not want us to communicate via PM’s

Marydoll Wed 17-Feb-21 12:21:44

I'm loving the conspiracy theories! grin.

I know from experience that these things can be a b**ger to sort. wink.

Charleygirl5 Wed 17-Feb-21 12:30:50

I agree Marydoll- it all takes time and I am happy to wait. What else am I doing?

GrannyGravy13 Wed 17-Feb-21 12:33:53

My post was in jest ?

Marydoll Wed 17-Feb-21 12:56:10

I realised that GG, as was mine. wink.
I actually feel quite sorry for DanTech.

Esspee Wed 17-Feb-21 12:59:31

Ahhhh I’m so glad they got a man on the job. ?
