not showing up as members when one attempts to 'send a personal message'?

If you're not an enrolled member you can't reach any of the Mudcat members with PM. Sign up and you'll find they're all accessible.

Try to send a personal message to Elmer Fudd.

But it sure would help if members sent in their profile with piccies, draped or undraped (that's with or without curtains, OK?)

Spelling? This might also mean punctuation and symbols such as '_'
If you can find a post by them, you can just click on the 'PM' by their name.

hmmm...that is curious. No Elmer Fudd listed. It is possible to change your name in between posts, but then the listings for Elmer Fudd would disappear...

Now, I CAN PM Elmer from a thread...just not from the listing in member names.....some quirk in the software, I guess.

No, Bill - something's screwed up. Clicking the 'PM' link works. Weird.

What's up Doc? Is someone trying to reach me? I've received PMs as recently as yesterday.

Same thing happens if you try to contact Bill t'bodger as well. Hmmmm - maybe they don't WANT to be found!

They only exist when they post. Otherwise, they are less than figments of your imagination.

You're right! When you type Elmer Fudd in to the Persobnal Message bit it says "Not found".

I'm told that I'm a member, yet when I try to see the 28 or so P.M.s it says are waiting to be read, I am told I'm not a member. When I post to a thread I am called GUEST.

I have tried clocking out and rejoining to no avail.

Such is life...

Yeah, it's an anomaly that happened with our Big Crash this last summer. The database that feeds our "send a personal message" function does not have our newer members. The "PM" link on messages sent by that member, should work. You can find posts by members by using the Old Advanced Forum Search in QuickLinks.
Gee, it's like the old days, when we had to figure out workarounds for things that didn't work like we wanted them to.
I'm sorry that we have all these functions that aren't working properly. They will be fixed, but we still have to achieve a greater level of stability before it's worthwhile to fix them. All I can say is that we know what the problem is, and we're working on it.

Actually, Joe, I kinda figured it was something like that.

Joe, No problem! This place is special, and even if the site lost half of what is here every day, it would continue being an exceptional resource!!

Thanks to all the clones and everyone.

Tannywheeler - Jerry doesn't talk about the Art that is him but about the art that is it, methinks.

Tannywheeler,

Thanks so much. I'm glad!

It sure was great of Sandy Paton to make that Folk Legacy recording of mine available in this new format. On we go...
