I may be just missing it, but how can I see replies I've made in private messages (Conversations)? When I click on the Conversation icon to the right of my login name is see all of the messages I've received (inbox), but I can't seem to find the messages I've sent in the same conversations.

Good question Chris...

All I see are received messages as well. However I don't have many conversations and none since the switch so I am wondering if the replies did not get ported over...

It looks like the new system acts more like a thread than a true messaging system.

When you click on the 'envelope' icon, you see a list of conversations. Click on one of the conversations, and you'll (see) the sent and received messages.

Nope - Not for me...

Unfortunately, I don't see the other end, either, only the very last post by me, not even all of MY posts in that "conversation."

Actually, I don't see a list of conversations. Rather, I see a list of received messages equivalent to an inbox. Each message received in a conversation is listed separately, with no obvious link or connection between them (other than the subject). [Win10 with Firefox 85.0.2 (64-bit)]

This is what I see..



I have to ask though are you referring to messages you had in the OLD forum? I do not believe they have been transferred.

@Tom is that planned?

Jackie, just for clarification, if you click that Trip Wizard title, do you see the entire conversation?

FWIW I see PMs from the old forum, but not all messages in a conversation, and some messages seem to have been cropped. Haven't spent any time looking at it. Personally, most of the old PMs are of little interest to me, and I should purge them from my account.

Tom it is like the threads, it takes me to the last part I read. I can see my old PMs if I click on the SHOW ALL writing.

Does it also show you the earlier part(s) of the discusssion?

Aye, I should have mentioned that

 

[SpencerPJ]

I've recently had a conversation and it shows and reads like a thread. I like it

 

[jackiemac]

Interestingly it seems to show all the messages sent to me, but not in a thread, but not the ones I sent. I don't see any way to show SENT messages. Maybe they are in the recipients box.

Odd

@Tom I have put a message in our back room testing area for you about this. We can respond here once we know what the result is.

 

[cbeierl]

Yes, I was referring to private messages from the old forum--I haven't had any under the new forum. I see all (I think) of the old private messages I received in the past, but none of my replies to those (from the old forum). Sorry I didn't make that clear earlier.

Hi,

I like Jackie's new avatar also. Makes her look ten years younger ;-)

Wondering where the button is to get the pink drink?

We don't have a good handle on PMs from the old forum platform, but my first glance at my own PMs suggests they didn't migrate correctly/completely. Further info when the issue has been looked at by tech support.

Just wanted to say "thank you" to admin and tech team for removing the red section banners - something several of us complained about. It is now so much easier to read and see the important stuff for navigating and taking advantage of the new features.

Linda, I believe that was done by our 3rd party theme designer, at the request of our forum Manager.
