In my PM page, do I no longer have the option to have my messages confirmed as "read" by the person I sent them to?

Every pm you send should give you a prompt to request a read receipt when you go to send them, right?
 
Wait, scratch what I said. I think I'm wrong. I just checked at my message receipts page and it's old stuff - none of the newer messages I sent were tracked.

yeah, me too.
 
"1. No more popup "Read Receipt" question every time you send a PM. Now there is a checkbox at the bottom of the message window. You will still get a popup box if someone sends you a message and requests a Read Receipt, but no longer when you send a message."

from Manu's "Tuesday Night Update." :)

K... but how do you request this read receipt?

You check the box to at the bottom of the pm.


Be forewarned that it's not working well. Apparently some people are showing messages that haven't been read even though the adressee responded already.
 
It's not that big a deal. Apparently there are still a few bugs in the system. Personally I always thought message tracking was a bit stalkerish and too easy for people to obsess on :rolleyes:


Uh.... and just so you know... that was a friend of mine. Yeah. That friend.

Hi Princess, :)

Yeah, I noticed that, too. The read receipts that were pending pre-server switch are still showing pending in my box, even though they've already replied.
 
There used to be away around the whole read recipt thing. You could check your message without the sender knowing you had. It would show up as "deleted" rather than "read".





Yui! Hi! I've not seen you in ages. :)

I'm still getting the popup box when I PM someone. Don't know why some people are and some aren't.

You know, I did, too, just a bit. I would circle PMs and not open them if I didn't have time to reply because I didn't want anyone to read something into my silence and worry.

Hi Elizabeth,

It might have something to do with the different skins, but my read receipt pop-up box went away yesterday, I think. I really have no clue, though. :confused:

Was that the "deny receipt" option? I was always too chicken to use it. :rolleyes: I'm a wimp.




How have you been, Princess? Have I missed anymore writing exercises? :D Please tell me I haven't!

I don't think that's a bug, though.

In the previous version, if I denied receipt, the message would simply disappear from your tracking list, and you would know it had been read anyway. It was silly. Good for the people doing the tracking, but silly.

Now, you're getting responses to messages that appear as being unread, but that's simply because people forget to confirm they received them. ;)
 
i thought that if i read all the posts in this thread id be less confused.i wasnt really confused when i started and now im beyond comprehesion.
