Help - Personal Messages

With all the increased activity it's about time I addressed this topic. Most of you have visited your profile and completed some additional information there. There is one area that most haven't made any adjustments too. That area is the personal message options. From the profile menu which looks like this:
Selecting this item on the Modify Profile Menu will bring up an options screen that looks kind of like this. The top part of the screen I cut off because it is pretty self-explanatory. It is where you can establish an ignore list in case there are some members that keep PMing you. If you need that explained, PM me and I will do that.
This is the way the default looks. Notice that if someone PMs you the board automatically emails you. Please
do not reply
to these emails as they will go back to me instead of the person that sent the PM.
If you don't want the board to email you the PM, change the choice box to
Never
and be sure and check the box that says "Show a pop-up when you receive new messages?" If you are running a pop-up blocker, you will need to allow popups from SSH. That should be the only ones you get. If you do get any others please let me know about it.
Be sure and click the "Change Profile" button after you make your changes in order to save them.
If you have any problems setting this up, let me or Dianna or Bonnie know and we will be glad to help you.

That's all right, Barb. He forwarded them on to me.
He really needed to address this because it would have been terrible if we had been talking about him!

That's quite alright Barb. I wasn't complaining. I just want the PMs to remain personal as they were intended. I posted this topic after several of Dianna's PMs were emailed to members and the reply came to my email address. I did forward them on to her.

Actually, Jim was a pretty good (e)mail man! At least it didn't take days longer for it to get to me...

Be sure and check these settings with the new board. There may be some changes you want to make.

This board handles PMs a little different than the Xsorbit board we were on. Because we have our own server and domain we are more likely to get hit with spam. The easiest way is for a bot to register, then PM everyone on the board. For that reason, PM can only be sent to 10 maximum members at one time. Also if you have less than 5 post you have to enter a code, much like the character codes you have to enter sometime when forwarding emails from a web based email client. Lastly everyone is limited to a maximum of 20 PMs per hour.
I think these are some necessary limits that we can adjust as needed.

I've updated the instructions as well as the screenshots on how to set your PMs. If anyone has any questions or is having difficulty with PM's let me know.

Reminder - If you have the board set to send you an email when you receive a PM, please read the complete email, paying particular attention to the part that says:
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL
If you do, the reply comes to my email address!

Oh I do not want you to tell, just kinda glad it was not me. I did run a search on my outgoing email to see if I accidentally sent one but there was nothing there.
