Deimos Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 At the bottom of posts I have made I only have an “e-mail”button. I have recently changed myprofile to say No to “receive e-mails” but it keeps changing back to “Yes” –and I have no PM button for people to PM me (unsure if I used to have one ornot).Reason it’s a problem is that I wont (normally) respond tomessages via e-mail (giving out my e-mail address) but will respond by PM. Thus, if people cannot PM me then I find itmore difficult to respond.(I always wait at least 10 mins before even gong back intothe profile settings – as per the “Changes may take up to 10 mins …”message/warning).Anybody any thoughts ?Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Forum Admin Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yes, the PM button doesn't appear on your posts as you cannot PM yourself but it is visible to all other users...I can see yours but not mine as well.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 In the profile there “Receive e-mails” Yes/No setting: whateffect does this have. When I set it toNo, Save then wait 10 mins (for update to take effect) and then go back into myprofile it now say Yes (i.e. automatically ignored the No setting I switched itto).Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Forum Admin Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Have sent email to you.But to answer publicly: This 'Receive Email' will always be set to 'yes' even if you change it to 'no' as it takes the overall settings from the software which at the moment allows emails from the forum.If anyone doesn't want to be contacted by email you can change within your profile the 'Private email (not shared)' to unknown@unknown.com.If you do this it might be worth adding to your signature 'contact me by PM only '.This will not effect your ability to login.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
