[PROBLEM] I can't send PM on xda [Maybe Solved]

Hey guys i'm sorry to post in this section but i don't know where i can post!
So, i've a problem, people don't receive my PM on xda, and i don't know why :/
Help me please for fixe it!

That's really weird.
It must have something to do with your internet connection.
It's best to move this thread to the 'about xda-developers' section.
use the red triangle in the right top of your post to ask to move your thread.

Moved to About XDA.
Try to send me a PM.
I'll pass this on to Admin.

I've sent you a PM to test if you can receive / reply...

Hi all! Thanks for your help!
And thanks to xda team to be present and help noob like me ^^

Can't send neither! When I send a message it doesn't come in the sentbox?!
Or could I send a test message to someone ?
Thanks in advance

welcome to xda
I expect that to be a different restriction you are suffering from: it's applying to junior members to help prevent spam
you might notice two other ones: posting urls and creating a signature won't work either until you have 10+ posts (far as i know)
so with a little patience this should resolve itself
if not post here and I will notify a moderator/admin for you
best

Thanks for your reply and explanation!
I'll try to get a few posts then... but hey, gently without spamming
Cheers

Hi guys,
I now have +10 posts and still have the impression I cannot send PMs. When composed a message, I click submit and I'm directly referred to the PM overview page with this text: "Private Messages in Folder: Inbox"
When I check my 'Sent items' there still empty. Thanks in advance!

I'll pm you, lets see if reply works

It may simply be that your Private Messaging is turned off.
Go to User CP on the brown bar above. Choose Edit Options on the page that appears.
Scroll down slowly through many options and you will find an option to turn on and off Private Messaging (both sending and Receiving).
NB When finished don't forget to click SAVE at the bottom of the page.
(If Private Messaging is enabled already, try unchecking it (save) then go back and recheck it and save again.)

hi
out of curiosity: pm usage works immediately (if setup correctly) or is it part of the anti-spam-pack?
in case the issue comes up again I prefer passing on facts instead of speculating like I did this time
thx

To be honest I don't know (it is possible it is part of the anti-spam measures) - I'll try to find out.

Or the other possibility is that the setting to save sent pm's isn't on as that could make you think that it's not sent.

I have a similar problem : I can use PM (I received some, and received answers from mine), but I cannot see any message in the outbox...

You need to enable this option in your forum profile options.
Click here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
Find the "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" option and tick the box to enable it

No problem
I think it's not ticked by default, as they add to the overall PM quota, and most people don't really need a copy of sent PMs.

[Q] Cannot view event reminder in User CP

Hi,
When I go on the User Control Panel and I click on Event Reminder on the left side of the page, I get a message saying that I might not have the privilege to view it, and it says it's some kind of developer page. I have no idea what it is, but why am I being restricted to view to the Event Reminder? Very weird, has anyone else got this problem?

I believe we switched it off some time ago to better use the servers for other tasks.

Oh OK. By the way, if we ask one of the mods to change our username and they do then if anyone searches for our posts will we still get the results for the posts that we made before the username change?
Also if we change our username then will there be some kind of notice on our posts about the username change?

You would need to get mike to do the change. And yes it is possible to find old posts, but not hugely easy

Just click on the little triangle report button in the upper right corner of your post, fill out a short reason, choose Thread/post moving or maintenance in the drop down list, and click submit. A mod will get notified and take care of it when duties permit.

Account Retrieval Bug - Captcha

Hi there,
Just letting you guys know about some odd behavior I encountered.
I couldn't remember if I had an account here or not, so I figured I'd try a password (username) retrieval, and no matter how many times I tried, I kept getting "The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed."
I'm always careful to refresh Captchas until I'm absolutely certain I know what it says, and I tried 5+ times - I can't be that bad at entering them!
I know now that I didn't have an account on the site, and this was presumably why it was giving an error - albeit the wrong description for the error.
Thanks,
Moley

Yeah, if the account doesn't actually exist that'll mess a few things up! :laugh:

Haha, it would seem so.
A "There is no account for this email address on this site" error may have been more appropriate thought!
I'm sure a site full of developers can appreciate the need for accurate error codes/reporting

Indeed. If there's one thing I really hate, it's when I execute a command or, well, do something, and when it has an error, it either doesn't return a message at all, or it returns an obscure message that doesn't help anyone fix the problem. Major pet peeve of mine.

Is there anything more I can do to bring this to the attention of the webmasters (mods?)?
Other than through the contact link down the bottom of the page (I feel that wouldn't be the most efficient).
Cheers

If I'm not mistaken, the only options are:
1. Use the inefficient contact link method
2. PM the moderator to which you'd like to bring the problem
3. Post it on XDA (which, of course, you've already done)
I'm not aware of any other methods.

XDA Rules---
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer.
If you dont know how to follow forum rules, dont create a thread in the first place.
