How to send a PM without the annoying read receipt.

[FurryFury]

Hi there!

Recently this lovely hunk of a guy asked me not to send my PM's with the annoying read receipt.

Well you know how much I LOVE to please others! So I went about trying to figure out HOW to do that.

To me, and I could be just out of it, it looked like I could either send a PM with a read receipt or cancel the whole damn thing!

It turns out if you click on cancel it just cancels the receipt and sends the PM.

Doh! So feeling pretty dummy-like now!

Am I the only one that didn't know this?

It should also default that way so that you don't have to un-click it all the time. I only ask for a read reciept sometimes.

I never wanted to ask for them. I just didn't know any better.

LOL!

What are you talking about? I didn't PM you.

 

[Marquis]

I fucking hate when people ask for the read receipts.

That's true Sugah!

Sorry for the confusion.

LOL!

Hi Marquis!

Well, perhaps this will help you out too.

Or maybe it's just me that was doing it in pure ignorance?

No, I get asked for read receipts all the time.

I guess it really isn't a big deal, I could just refuse to accept them, but I have to admit I find it kind of rude that people want to keep tabs on me like that.

Tabs on you? I think people would like to keep more than tabs.

*smiles sweetly*

Like I said, I didn't know I could even send a PM and not ask for one before a certain hunky hottie pushed the issue.

[FurryFury]

You know what? I sent a PM with a damned read receipt again today! Why? Habit maybe or maybe I just like to say "O.K?" too damn much.

*grr*

Ditto......even when I want one, I usually forget to set it to attach one so the majority of mine sent are non-receipt PM's. And for those who do not want to acknowledge the PM or whatever, you just click on cancel when asked to verify and there is no receipt even if one was requested.

Not really planning on it. That's not the point of this thread really.

There are so many hunky hotties here anyway...

I'm getting better at remembering to send them without a receipt!

Caught in another spider web. Oh, joy.

But I encountered this problem recently and the how-to forum people helped me with it. Certain forum appearances (you know the ones at the bottom of your screen that change your forum colors?) cause the read receipt thing to be automatically turned on. And indeed, that little message that pops up looks like if you click "cancel" it will cancel the entire message, not just the read receipt.

I changed my forum color scheme, sent myself a pm, changed the scheme again, sent myself a pm, etc. until I found one that didn't automatically send read receipts and that I could also read.

It's useful to know how to do this, but it's even more useful to know that those annoying read receipits aren't always intentional. Often it's becuase the person is panicked by the little pop-up window and doesn't want their message to be deleted.

 

[FurryFury]

I'm glad you figured it out!

Spider webs can be fun though!

So, I can't find the asshat thread. I'm gonna use this one for the same purpose for now.

Now that I have two stories on lit, I am getting feedback. Now I love feedback but some of this stuff is asshat nominate-able. One wrote:

"tell me what you look like, please describe yourself.
I have a 7 1/2" cock, with nice sized balls."

Honestly, thats how you choose to describe yourself? I'm supposed to care why exactly?

I mean I love a cock a lot. Well, I love my husband's and his balls for that matter but, oh never mind. I bet y'all know what I'm saying.

Sweet dreams and good night,

Because those kind of men feel that an adequate description of them can be filled by including cock size, with as many detailed dimensions as possible, and then doubling them; height, plus a couple of inches; how much they weigh, minus about 20 pounds; and lets go back for another quick description of the cock, in case the girl wasn't listening.

In return, they want to hear that you are blonde, 120lbs, 5'11", and love to do whatever their favorite sexual act happens to be at that time.

I used to get IM's like those... men wanting to "chat". They'd ask what I look like. I'd answer honestly.

Rarely, if ever, did I get a reply after that. It was a singularly effective deterrent.

*hugs*

I'm sure you're lovely!

If I answer honestly it's not a deterrent. I happen to be blonde, 120-130 pounds, 5'10" and love most sex acts. What I don't like about my body or face doesn't turn them off either. *L*

If a guy thinks his "description" which I haven't asked for, and don't really want, is adequate with talking merely about "his" cock and balls, he isn't the sort of guy I savor chatting with.

I want to tell them, honestly dudes y'all all have cocks I promise, they don't look that different unless you have tattooed it or pierced it okay? I have never looked at a picture of a cock and said to myself, ooh, I want me some of that! *c* I can get that, it's not like there is a "shortage!" *snicker*

What is hard to find is someone with the mind set and skills I seek, along with a respectful nature toward themselves and others.

I honestly don't care what anyone looks like online. I'll likely never meet most in person, but even if I do, it's not looks that will pull me into their orbit. I do appreciate beauty, don't get me wrong. I see certain bodies as art and certain faces are smoking hot.

I'll look at pictures because I am a curious human being. I'll say something nice usually, provided it's not a picture of a cock or something, but it's the words and the brain behind them that draws me, you know?

Now here is another bit of response I got from a reader.

"I bet you have all kinds of dirty fantasies you fuck yourself to. Fantasies that you're even scared to admit to. Isn't that right, little girl?"

Now y'all know me. Yes, I do have all kinds of dirty fantasies I fuck myself too. Who doesn't? Does anyone really masturbate to ideas of flowers and sunshine?

However, I'm rarely too scared to admit to anything. I pretty much hang all my shit out there for anyone to see while I'm anonymous. Yes, there are fantasies I haven't written yet. There is a LOT of stuff I have yet to write. I simply need the time and understanding to do it though. I will write them eventually, when the words come.

Oh and I'm not anyone's "little girl" at the moment as much as I might like the idea of it. Certainly not someone with whom I've never even had a discussion.

What is the point of the above comment though? To have me think he knows the inner me? If that was the intent. It didn't work. People are fascinating creatures though.

*chuckle* Well, it -is- harder to get them to go away by being honest when you -do- fit the description of what they're after.

At the time, though, I was significantly heavier. It really wasn't all that attractive to most of them to tell 'em I had brown hair, green eyes, and was about 260 pounds. For some reason, they just didn't want anything to do with me after that.... Can't figure out why.

I think I'd just have to smack any stranger who decided to refer to me as 'little girl'. Ignorant bastards.

*hug Fury*

Have I told you yet that I think you're great?

They're topping from the bottom, perhaps?

Not that I'm a hunky hottie and if I am one, I know I'm not the one in question, because you've never sent me a message that requested a read receipt. I guess you had that all figured out, by the time you sent me any messages.

Just felt like making this statement, I guess.
