I was just wondering why some messages send and some don’t. I have been attempting to reply to a message for the past five months and well it won’t send! (@robin I haven’t forgotten!) is it because it has a character length? I don’t see anything that states it.

It is a little frustrating. Any advice?

Hello Tamara,

@todd could you please help? I am trying to send a message privately in reply to one sent to me but it won’t send! I have been making attempts to do this for the past five months! I have successfully replied to other messages sent to me.

So I am wondering, is it length? Or something else?

Thanks in advancd
Tamara

There could be a a couple things here.

The name and the @ tag are not always the same. If I would try to send a message to @Tamara it wouldn’t get through to you because that’s your display name. I would need to address it to @justsewit because that’s your username. Could that be it?

The second thing it could be is something new–so it wouldn’t have been in place five months ago. Since that user registered and sent spam private messages to a number of forum members last week, we have put a new safety mechanism in place. Now you are only able to send private messages to people who you are friends with. This will help ensure that someone doesn’t register and send private messages to people they don’t know. So you’ll need to have an accepted friendship request from the person now before you’ll be able to send a private message.

Do either of those explanations help?

Thankyou @todd the latter is the answer. It is such a pity this had to change all for the sake of someone getting kicks out of stupid emails. But it is safety first and that is what matters.

Thanks again!
Tamara

@justsewit, you could always send her a friendship request. Once it is accepted you’ll be able to send a private message.

[Tamara]

Yes, I am waiting patiently for it to be accepted😀 Thankyou😀

Tamara, could I suggest editing the title of this thread to read “question about sending private messages” or similar as it appears Leslie might have mistaken this for a private conversation between the two of you.

[Tamara]

@sarvi am I able to do that?

Thankyou🙂

[Sarvi]

Hm, good question! I assumed as the thread starter you’d have an edit button somewhere, but perhaps I have made an ASS of U and ME as the old saying goes.

[Tamara]

Not to worry! it’s all good.@sarvi.

[Todd Gibson]

I was able to change the title of the post.

Saved the day thanks @todd

Is it possible to contact Oliver & s directly? I’m not sure if they can help me, but I just got out my paper pattern for the fairy tale dress which I bought years ago, and I only have the second half of the instructions. I’m hoping they may be able to email me the first part perhaps? Or do I need to buy the whole pattern again? Thanks
