Thread: About PMs

Is there a way to know if your PM has been read by a recipient?
The old forum’s engine had no problem with that. What about the new one?
I can’t see how it can be done if it can be done at all. Is it me or the engine?

How do I track messages?


When you send a new private message, you may have the option to request a read-receipt in Miscellaneous Options. This lets you check whether or not a message has been read by its recipient. To do this, go to the 'Message Tracking' page.


This page is divided into two sections: unread and read messages.


The unread messages section shows all messages that you have sent with a read-receipt request, that have not yet been read by their recipient.


The read messages section shows all messages you have sent with a receipt request that have been read and acknowledged by their recipient. The time that the message was read is also shown.


You may choose to end the tracking on any message you choose by selecting it and clicking the 'End Tracking' button.


When you receive a message with a read-receipt request, you may have the option to read the message while denying the read-receipt request. To do this, simply click the 'Deny Receipt' link rather than the title of the message, if it appears.

So, it’s only when you’ve been wise enough to check the “Request a read receipt for this message” box you’ll be able to track the message, otherwise it stays untrackable, right?

Yes.
