Replied to your email, thank you, Estelle. Presumably someone else will handle replies to [email protected]?

I have not really had any problems but if someone deletes a message I sent them does it then get deleted in my sent box?

Because that seems to have happened to a message I sent last night. If thats the case we may not get replies to messages if they are being deleted.

I still have what I have sent because it is included with the inbox message I recieved....but there is not a seperate sent message

Hi Flick and Lilybids. Could you please give me more details about the messages you can't delete? if you could email me directly at [email protected] that'd be great. I'm not working tomorrow so won't pick the email up till Friday.

Thanks,
Estelle

I am unable to delete unwanted messages from my Inbox.

As per usual, the changes seem to have been rolled out without having been thoroughly tested...........

When will they learn?

A Further thought

Could this be a problem with Mailbox size?
Having re-read this thread I see that there have been some reports af old messages disappearing.
When I was working, I seem to recall that we were always "encouraged" to prune our Mailboxes by reminders that if Mailbox limits were exceeded then we could not send / receive messages

My computer is vista and I use firefox and chrome and internet explorer. I haven't yet looked at messages today and I probably won't again until I have been told by Phil or Estelle that the issues have been resolved, it was just too frustrating yesterday. :-|

OK I too am experiencing problems.

I tried to access GR from my Work computer. It is held together with things which won't allow you to do anything, blockers, scanners, can't look at that site, type stuff. As I could not get a page to open past the first screen I tried to send a PM. Everything worked fine and it looked like the message sent. Came home to my usual computer to find no reply to my message, which was unusual, nothing in the sent box, and nothing in the drafts box.

PS I also have a perpetual white envelope next to 1 Messages on the dark green bar. It has been there since yesterday (or the day before). I am dashed if I can find an unopened message.
So I too have a message whizzing around in cyberspace. Oooooooh wonder if it has landed on the big bosses desk in central office. Oh well I am sure he will enjoy making silly putty.

Seems to me that it works prpoerly on some computers but not on others.

This suggests to me that the Genes software may not be fully compatible at the moment with some Operating Systems or Browsers. Sometimes the Firewall can have strange effects as well. I ditched Norton a few years back when it kept screwing up my connection to FreeBMD.

I use Windows XP and IE8 with a Zone Alarm Free Firewall and have had no problemswith sending messages.
Is the problem confined to Mac users - or perhaps the Firefox Browser?

If there is a common thread then this sort of information MAY help Genes to solve the problem?

First time on since some unearthly hour on Tuesday morning!


Have 1 message waiting


evenutally it gets around to opening.


Read message, and hit Reply

Type a response, and hit Send ................ which is the left hand button on my screen

and get:-

Success
Draft message has been saved

:-S :-S :-S :-S


Go to Draft message, make a slight change, and click Send


No acknowledgement of any kind of Success .............. and the message is not in either Sent or Drafts



I now have 5 messages in Drafts .............. and apparently no way to get them to their recipients!

:-( for you Joy...

I do wonder why it affects some and not others... am just glad it is not contagious.

The site still has its little foibles for me... somehow I get around them, not always the orthodox way. ;-)

Joy Report 22 Nov 2011 20:34

I am pleased for you, Persie :)


The issues that I have encountered so far:


Messages (sent and incoming) have reappeared from deleted contacts; I have attempted to delete them, but they remain still.


"3 Messages" is visible at the top of the screen, with a white envelope, but I can see no new ones.


Sometimes I receive notification that there is a new email, sometimes there is no notification.


In messages, sent and incoming, the date on the right is normal size font but on the left showing the subject and sender or recipient, the font is much larger, in fact about double the size of that on the right.


When I clicked on some old messages, this appeared
"Warning
it is not possible to read this conversation". In that case I would rather they were removed.


This has appeared when attempting to click on sent messages to delete a page of them:
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/messages.page/DeleteMessages?page=180 and http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/messages.page/DeleteMessages?page=190

Mine's fine....

Sent an attachment (picture) to Ginny last night without a hitch...

I quite like it.. I thought in box looked messy at first ... but when I had been and looked at all the various functions, I was very pleased with how effective it is.

I like the folders idea... I can now have a tidy up..

SG - I don't have adverts... they slow things down and are a nuisance.
