There appears to be a problem with sending private messages. There is no topic box and when I try to do a carriage return in the test box, it apparently just sends what I have already typed. And that is all that is show in sent messages for the 3 times I have tried to send one.

Thanks...

PM's still SNAFU. But it does still seem possible to send one.

Yes, though it is not right, I sent one and a PL replied.

"carriage return" - haven't heard that term since the dot matrix printer era. I didn't know you could access TUSCL on a Smith Corona typewriter.

I’m annoyed that whenever I’m on TUSCL the menu line shows “MESSAGES(1)”, but I HAVE NO UNREAD MESSAGES! The entire messaging subsystem is FUBAR.

3,

I've never seen that issue. Perhaps a cached copy of the message screen is being loaded on your device.

I much prefer how messaging is now.

Thank you founder.

How often do you think shadowcat PMs Founder about some non-existent "problem" he's having with the site? 2, 3 times a day? More?

Actually shadowcat rarely messages me. He's seen enough changes here to know it'll get fixed sooner or more likely later.

Anyway, Messages are changing to more of a conversation mode. Hope you like it. If not, just exchange home addresses and snail mail each other.

So are messages working? I can see a list of messages (sent and received mingled together) but I can’t open any.

Avatar for nicespice

What I had to do was click on someone’s profile page, and then hit the “message” button. You can see past messages this way, and also send new ones.

Also thank you founder. xD I like the new format much better, even if there’s a couple of bugs left.

As of right now, PM's still SNAFU. It is more conversation mode, but it is tying in all previous communications with a party, going back for years. Conversation mode is usually just covering a series of replies, not a whole history, and using different titles.

My first thought was that joining all previous PMs w/ a particular TUSCLer was overkill - but it does help if one wants to look for some specific info from a particular TUSCLer from while back (by just using the browser "find" function)

Well making all the exchanges with one member into a single conversation, regardless of the titling, that has disadvantages. For one thing, you can't supply a title for a subsequent message.

Google Mail does not work like the PM's are now.

Texting on my phone works that way

Avatar for san_jose_guy
san_jose_guy

Well, phone stuff is more terse, usually no titles. I get your point.

Google mail and most other boards PM's allow separate conv threads by title, and by whether or not the other party submitted it as a reply.

You're doing a good job founder. And thanks for unlocking our old threads.

And TheeOSU stands on the sidewalk under a lamp post and offers services. But that was before SJG took a curved needle and sewed his asshole shut. That cost him 1/2 his service menu.

Hey creep, it only took you 3 days to compose your feeble response but my guess is that your male ass fixation can only be remedied by your nightly gay bathhouse visit or are you taking tonight off and projecting your fetish by putting out feelers on TUSCL?

Avatar for san_jose_guy
san_jose_guy

That is also one of my observations and concerns. Seems though that you first line displays to the recipient, as though it were the title. Seems workable.

So you admit that your bathhouse excursion is off the table tonight, will this evolve into another "woe is me my wife left me" night?

No, TheeOSU, but your grave is ready for you, and I have shovel in hand. And you don't even need to be dead.

My gravy is ready? No creep you're the gravy boy and I do understand your need to consume it by the shovel full. Lol
