Working fine for me Rob.

Seems that my PM facility is not working……OT ! are you listening?…Have sent you several pm’s without a response….I rec’d your lengthy one re the Cancer issue and I replied in like manner but I dont think you rec’d it or the subsequent ones since.—Can you confirm please.
Anyone else having problems with the PM .

G’day Jock,

No PMs from you but some from other members, so my PM receive is OK.

When you send a PM what evidence do you have it went? Is it in your outbox?

Can you send a PM to other members?

Dont have any evidence that it’s gone……Noticed when I press “submit” it comes back at me as “Preview” .

Lance…many thanks..got your PM O.K…. have sent a response…let me know if you get it o.k….

I think there is something wrong at my end. Getting a bit sick of the whole thing….I spent, literally hours typing up a lengthy pm ( with my limited, two finger typing skills) only to see it disappear into hyper space somewhere….
Again…absolutely hate the new format.

looks much better to me now, can see the headings.
Great job!

Jock, you probably checked and/or noticed but when you got the preview did you notice any red error message? I tried to send one with two emojis in it but got an error message at the top of it to say I needed to input three. Added another and away it went. Not saying you needed more but just in case you missed it as I nearly did.

Jock,

Are you saying that the PM to me went only to ‘preview’ but the one to Lance went OK and is in your Outbox or Sent?

I am quite thankful for your efforts but only partially sympathetic as I have advised here quite often to compose anything that is longer than a para or two in a word processor or text editor, then copy/paste into the forum.

By doing this off-line prep you will not become a victim of black holes and also have a spell check opportunity.

Jeff, I am wondering if it because I have cleared all history and cookies in an attempt to free up and speed up this decrepit old iPad 2.

[Legendts]

Ha ha quite likely Rob. Had an iPad 3 until recently when I gave it to my lovely wife (aren’t I thoughtful) and bought a 10.5” Pro (lucky me) which is like a rocket ship in comparison.

There you go again O.T……I wouldn’t have a clue how to “copy/paste’……Be that as it may, I have sent Lance a PM and got an acknowledgement of receipt.
I’ll send you another one now… PM me back if you get it.

G’day Hank,

No downtime for me. Just quiet I think.

Maybe coz it has been a few days of sport, and I don’t mean the Qld elections
