Is the "You ahve a new Private Message" script broken?

spartak · January 15, 2003, 14:48

I only ask because normally when I click yes a little window pops up and clears the littled marker thatr must remember I have an unread PM. Recently, I just click on the button and nothing happens and even after reading the message, the CP still hsows an unread message.

Any advice or suggestions?

Premptive Response follows

Yes - I already noticed I should proof my messages before clicking the submit button.

I haven't got a PM for few days, so I haven't noticed any problem with the system.

Send me one and I'll see if I can reproduce the problem.

I had a similar problem too a couple of days ago..

Clicked 'yes' and nothing would happen, just a blanco page.

ooh, i don't even get a blank page. nothing. seemed to work in IE but not opera

sometimes I wouldn't get the message saying I had a private message even though I do.

the forums don't update immediately once you read the pm. as for the go to pm script, do you have a pop up blocker running? because the script opens a new window and your blocker may kill the new window

Not that I'm aware of.

Me neither..
Could just have been a glitch, or maybe Polly was to crowded at the time

Maybe you should turn on email notification for PM's......that's what I do.

alva · January 16, 2003, 04:51

If only I would check my hotmail account from to time, that would be a very good suggestion

I have both on, so I get a script if I'm here and an e-mail if I'm checking my mail.

The PM popups seem to be working for me. Perhaps it has been fixed since.

FrustratedPoet · January 16, 2003, 18:09

Yep. It worked fine for me just now too.

Dis · January 16, 2003, 19:51

mine have been working fine the past few days. The problem I posted only happend a week or two ago.

spartak · January 17, 2003, 13:14

Can someone send me a PM to test?

DrSpike · January 17, 2003, 13:31

Ok, sent. Did it work?

spartak · January 17, 2003, 14:18

Thank you.

No it didn't.

I would be grateful if an admin could confirm whether there have been any changes to the script recently that might explain this anomaly.
