Not exactly sure where to make this request but it sure would be helpful if the email notification of a new PM received could be restored. I just found 2 new PMs in my in box and they had been there for a while.

Ray, do you have this setting checked in the "Control Panel" on the "Board Preferences" tab?? If you do, then this is a Bryan issue. As you can see, I have it checked and I'm not getting email notifications of PMs either but then I never have.

Jerry,
For years I had the email notification and then all of a sudden I didn't. I haven't made any changes but truth is, I can't figure how to get there to check it out.

Ray

Found the way to the control panel and verified that my preferences still show that I should get an email notification when a PM is posted.

Now that I've had time to think about it, I kind of vaguely remember getting emails for a while when I received a PM but I haven't been getting them for a long time. Since your settings are all correct, it sounds like a Bryan issue to me.

MikeThe link thing works fine on my Android. Don't know what to tell ya. As for the stores, you may have to do what Greg did until Bryan has a chance to take a look at that issue.

Dan, you definitely have a Bryan issue there. I was able to sign off and sign back on with no problems. Weird glitch.

It will let me log out now. My name comes up when I navigate to the board index page, but I am actually not logged in. However, my board index page is still stuck om May 4 at 9:03 AM. However, when I click into a forum? (ie Knife Lore etc.) everything is good.

As per recommendation I can now access the store's with Google search.
As it turns out the my issue with "quick links" is not an issue at all. I do lose the word "quick links" after I click on "board index" but the index bars remain. Thanks for the help guys. Mike

Same here Ray.
I checked the settings & I was supposed to be receiving emails, so I turned them off and then turned them back on.
I still am not getting emails when I get a new PM.

Obviously a "Bryan Issue."

BTW Jerry; you are hereby officially credited with creating the phrase "Bryan Issue" for anything we cannot solve without his help.

I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Did the leaves turn upside down anywhere or something before this storm ? If they did I missed it. I wouldn't have got so wet if I knew it was coming. Still grin'n

Everything back to working for me.
Thanks Bryan

At the risk of seeming dense, once I have started a post, how can I delete? To explain, I was in the process of typing (keying?) a post and I decided not to make the post but there is no 'cancel' button at least none that I can find.
I also tried to find a way to send a PM to the writer of a particular post but I could not find that option either.

RAY <---- pointin and a clicken . .. .
like shootin at a chicken LOLOL

if ya clic that "contact" box by the writers avatar, theres a way to PM that character

[gsmith7158]

Ray I haven't seen a cancel button either so I just hit the back button and return to the thred seems to work. If you click on the name of the poster it will bring up their profile then click on send pm from there.

Greg, I ended up doing the same thing but somehow it just doesn't seem like a very proper or efficient way to handle the escape.

Ray
EDIT,, Mr B came up with a good answer to the PM question. Check his post. - Ray

[gsmith7158]

AHA! We now have a menu at the top of the page on the mobile site that includes home, forums, research and stores.

Ray

Ray, I don't understand your objection to leaving by the door you came in at.

To take Mr. B's instructions one step further.

[Paladin]

Jerry,
Remember that I am not very computer savy. I guess I have no objection IF that is the proper way to get rid of it. I was afraid that my partially, or fully, typed message would be floating out there in the interwebs for infinity, maybe to be discovered by some futuristic explorer.

I hope it didn't sound like I was talking down to you. It is the "proper" and accepted way. No need to invent a fifth wheel.

Jerry,
It never even crossed my mind, my friend.
And on top of all this newness, my new computer was just delivered. Sure hope this works out ok.
