    Okay, not only am I not receiving any email notices of replies to subscribed threads, but I discovered just by chance that I had a PM from a fellow member....I didn't receive the usual email notification regarding this either

    My home email is thru msn/hotmail & I've never had issues with XMarks notification emails before.

    This is a two-parter regarding Visitor's Messages.

    First... the Visitor's Messages that are on our profiles (not the personal messages): I never get any notification that I have one. No pop-ups, no notifications in text in our User CP box on the right side, no emails. It would be handy if we could be notified that we have one.

    Second... I had an error when I tried to reply to someone using the Visitor's Message feature. I clicked "View Conversation" like I usually do, typed my reply to someone, and when I clicked to post it to our conversation, I got an error message at the top of that section (not a pop-up, but it just became part of the page above the message I'd typed). It said that it couldn't post due to the following reasons... and then didn't list any. There was an "Okay" button, which I clicked, and all that did was remove the error message. Before I tried to post it again, I opened a new window and viewed the person's profile and saw that it actually had posted.

    So I had a weird error message that wasn't real (my conversation had not shown up on my conversation page, but it HAD posted to the individual's profile), and I don't get notifications of Visitor's Messages.

    Hope this helps.

    Oops, one more I meant to mention.... still about Visitor's Messages:

    I sometimes see "This message is moderated" (in a lighter gray text) right above someone's message to me on my profile. For example, the most recent one on my profile for the longest time had that message written above the actual message, but today it finally went away. I do notice that my reply to that individual now has that. I've noticed it for a while and kept wanting to ask what that was about? It obviously posts, and I don't have to do anything to allow it -- I don't think a moderator is having to do anything to allow it either. Is that an error as well?

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    I have a list of all your problems and comments about the site. I will be re-hiring our code guy in the near future to fix them and answer all your questions.

    But I will need to do this in one large batch and not piece-meal. It is simply not feasible to keep Chris on permanent retainer. Not to mention too expensive.

    Please keep posting to this thread with any problems you encounter and I will let all of you know when they will be worked on.

    I will re-hire Chris as soon as he has some free time and as soon as I can afford it.

    I wanted to update this particular issue.
    Since the above posting I've received two email notices regarding new posts to subscribed threads, but I'm still noticing that there are many more new postings to subscribed threads that I'm not receiving email notices for.

    Right...I just wanted to update Steve that since the previous post that there had been a very slight change (in case it matters in the overall scheme of things). Thanks

    Hi Jordan, I really don't wish to switch to one of my many other msn/hotmail addys (each one is used for a different area of interest/research, etc). And I don't need anymore addy's to try & keep track of
    Thanks.
