(Solved) Save copy of personal message
« on: January 13, 2017, 08:31:59 am »
The default setting to save a copy of a personal message in one's outbox is to not save it. Could that become the opposite? I keep forgetting to check the box and sometimes I want to look back at what I wrote.

Once you check the box it should stay checked - it does for me.

It doesn't for me. Else I wouldn't have the issue because most of the times I did check it.

I've just checked mine and it is already checked.

When you sent your first PM did you check it then - perhaps it has a memory ?

I still have my first PM in my outbox of PMs so I must have checked it then. I really have to check it every time I write a PM.

For some reason it doesn't appear to stay checked.

hmmm click on lady's profile you should be able to see on your left pane message settings since you are a global mod you have almost god powers on forums you can't see the messages only admins can but you can help a user by changing their settings for them. I'll help lady any way I can she is really nice and has stuck with us even in some of the most troubling time with her computer.

Hey Julian, thanks a bunch for fixing this little annoyance! I took a look at my personal message page and the box is ticked by default now. Wonderful! Never underestimate what solving a small thing means. Now if only you, Shane and Boggin could exert your almost god power outside of the forum too......  :cheesy:
 
The reason I stick with you guys is that I never had a stupid or nasty response. And you know that they are common on other IT forums. Don't ask....

No, you definitely are the sweetest guys! It feels great to know that you are out there. <3

Just to make this issue clear to everybody else: you can change this setting yourself by going to your profile, choose Modify Profile and then Personal Messaging and tick the box to save your personal messages by default.

I didn't remember having this option. Been a while since I visited my basic settings. :)
