It would shed some light on things :-)<br /><br />Greg,&nbsp;<br />To follow up on what I initially wrote with the latest update: I have been off line in the meantime&nbsp;and I got the email for second part of&nbsp;the conversation thread that was started before.&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-messages-and-notifications-on-our-private-emails#post-881784 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 05:52:41 +0000 Diana 881784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ornella, I've noticed (even before the update) that if I am on YLF at the moment when a PM comes in and I read the PM immediately, I don't get an email message.&nbsp; I think there is a built-in delay between getting the PM and the email notification?&nbsp; I always thought it was really clever of Greg to design the system like that (no wasted energy to send an email if the PM has already been read).<br /><br />I've only gotten a couple of PMs since the update but so far they have followed this pattern as well.&nbsp; (I got an email notification for one that came in while I was logged off, and I saw another one immediately while logged on and did not get an email).&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-messages-and-notifications-on-our-private-emails#post-881762 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 04:53:28 +0000 CocoLion 881762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Greg were all of the old PMs deleted? &nbsp;I can see how to send a PM to a member (go to their icon), but can't find a page with past PMs. &nbsp;Is this the case? &nbsp;Thanks. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-messages-and-notifications-on-our-private-emails#post-881667 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 01:52:33 +0000 Greg 881667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There might be a problem there.&nbsp;What the system tries to do is batch some of the notifications so you don't get too many of them. But I have also seen some anomalies.<br /><br />I have it on my list to review the notification system after some of the other issues are taken care of. In the meantime anything you can report&nbsp;about what it is or isn't doing will be super helpful. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-messages-and-notifications-on-our-private-emails#post-881621 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 00:49:33 +0000 Ornella 881621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg</p> <p>I've had several exchanges of private messages&nbsp;with forum members today and may have noticed an issue... I can't confirm it 100% but something is not as before.</p> <p>Usually, when I exchange PMs here on YLF I get email to the email address I used for registration.&nbsp;</p> <p>But today it was a bit unpredicted. Sometimes there were emails, sometimes not. Or may have been delayed, I'm not sure. </p> <p>Also, all my conversations were 2 or more&nbsp;PMs each way, but&nbsp;effectively in one thread. Could it be possible that there is no email after the first PM response I receive, but then the email&nbsp;start going through for the&nbsp;subsequent PMs?</p> <p>I can't be&nbsp;more specific, my sample is too small, but all it takes to recreate it is two people messaging each other a few times&nbsp;:-) </p> <p>E.g. my latest PM exchange was 20 minutes ago. I still&nbsp;don't have the notification&nbsp;email&nbsp;in my private email&nbsp;inbox. I've asked for the second PM response but the other side has gone&nbsp;off-line in the meantime, so my grand plan to figure it out is not working out....&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope it makes some sense. If not, I can&nbsp;check it all out in a bit more detail&nbsp;tomorrow.</p> <p>O. </p>
