NickP Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 When I look at my private messages it tells me that there are a number of views and how many replies, who apart from me looks or has the authority to look at my private messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 If you get a PM, it will have been viewed at least once by the sender, then viewed again by you, and any reply you make will be viewed by you and the original sender. So that accounts for three or four views at least, without anybody else being involved. If this simple conversation showed views into double figures though I might start worrying. I believe there was a glitch a long time back, but that was resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 But, Will, most of my PMs go into double figures. I have such lovely conversations with my correspondents, don't you see?In fact, once the viewings get into the 60s and 70s we start new PMs![I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I still do not understand. I get a message and look at it once - and all of a sudden it has 6 viewings. Whereas most pms only get 3, sender, reply, sender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Don't worry, I do remember asking before. It is just that most simple pm's which do not turn into an exchange or discussion = 3 viewings - but from time to time it is 6. I'd just like to understand why and how a normal 3 turns into a funny 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickP Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Brilliant answer Pickles, thanks mate. I'm sure you are right. It's so obvious when you think about it. Wish I had when I asked the original question [B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Often when I'm replying to a PM I open a new tab with the original so it is available in full along with the reply I'm composing.To do this in Firefox I just left click Reply and drag it to the tab bar - voila - a new tab with the last post ready to type a reply but with the entire original but a click away [;-)]You can of course do this with normal posts too.

mint Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It's to do with the short attention span that most of us are reduced to, you see, Swissie![:D]Without looking at the original post and indeed my own reply, I would not be able to keep my end of any conversation up!In fact, I find myself increasingly asking OH to repeat what he has just told me. Therefore either going deaf, no longer find what he says interesting, can no longer fashion a reply or too busy talking and muttering to myself to pay attention to anyone else.Hope that explains it to you?

mint Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I've never had PMs not arriving but I have sent PMs and got no acknowledgement. It could just be that the person/s concerned do not care to speak to me!However, emails often get lost.......[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
