PM Query - can you explain please?

Hello (this is addressed to GNers, not HQ)

Can you tell me something please?

If you send a PM to someone who ‘is no longer here’, what message do you get?

I’ve just tried to PM a poster who I haven’t seen for a while, and the message did not send.

But there wasn’t a notification along the lines of ‘message not sent’. Do you usually get one?

I hope that this makes sense!
Thank you

Bump!

I thought this was about Boris Johnson grin

Me too?

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 11:18:53

Oh, I’ve got plenty of queries about him ?

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 11:46:12

Is no one going to answer my question? ?
I’m trying to get in touch with a missing poster

I know that if you try to send a personal message to someone whose account has been deactivated you get:

Sorry. We can't deliver your PM, as this user: [member's name] is currently unable to receive PMs.

If someone has gone, currently is misleading.

I got that message too when I tried to PM someone I’ve not seen for a while

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 12:04:17

Thank you both!
I’ll try again

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 12:07:07

Nope. It just won’t send confused

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 12:08:45

Aha! I’ve found them! They’ve altered their user name

Spinnaker Sat 21-Aug-21 12:44:49

How did you find out that they had altered their user name Fanny ?

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 12:49:02

I saw them on a thread Spinnaker
I think that I actually got their username wrong in the first place.
And I don’t think that were missing after all.
And now I’ve created a contender for The Most Pointless Ramble of a Thread award. blush

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 12:50:36

I might ask for it to be removed before I make even more of a fool of myself

Gosh I had just sat down with cuppa and biscuit saw the title and OP did a little comfy shuffle with my bottom waiting for some Boris banter.
Glad you got sorted Fanny.

Spinnaker Sat 21-Aug-21 12:55:06

Aah thanks - don't worry I understood you perfectly grin

FannyCornforth Sat 21-Aug-21 13:02:42

Sorry to disappoint Whatdayisit
(I love the bottom shuffle, you’ve got an amazing way with words)

Is Bodger on his holibobs at the moment?
Remember when he went camping last year?
I heard recently that he had to be rescued by the coastguard. He was doing something stupid in a kayak, or possibly a canoe.
I’m surprised that he could fit in either. I’m not surprised that he did himself a mischief.

Ha yes Fanny apparently while on his jollies last year in Scotland. I don't think he is going anywhere this year - maybe waiting for the kids to go back to school to save a few quid.

JaneJudge Sat 21-Aug-21 14:55:44

I think he'll be as wide as he is tall soon and he'll start looking like a vw lupo wearing a wig

Don't be daft; paying for holidays is for the little people. He doesn't pay for his, they are given to him in return for a few lucrative contracts .

Wasn't he just about to start a holiday but was recalled to sort out a little difficulty in forriner land?

I don't think he's enjoying being PM...

?what ???
I liked someone’s description of when BJ stood next to dapper suited and boots Macron, she said he looked like a “burst sofa”.
That genuinely made me laugh,

No it is not a political comment before anyone leaps in.

Lucca Sat 21-Aug-21 16:19:51

Booted, not boots.

JaneJudge Sat 21-Aug-21 16:20:58

grin @ burst sofa

One that has been reupholstered and bost many times, no doubt

I believe he went to the West Country but unlike Dominic Raab, came back to London after just one day because of the Afghan crisis.

Lucca Sat 21-Aug-21 16:36:35

I just sent a PM to someone who has apparently left. It said my message had been sent so I am hopeful.

Imagine if PM was Prime Minister ….which one would you send , and to whom ?
(Yes I am a bit bored…it’s rained all day practically)
