If you get PM notifications that come to you by email do not reply to that email. It will not get to the PM sender.

You must log in to your PM inbox and respond from there.

Respond to PMs from your PM inbox, NOT EMAIL.

because your reply to the email will end up in Sowal limbo, clogging the system, and your friends will not the get a response to their PM, think you're a slacker, and stop being your friend, because you never respond... things will invariably escalate from there. countries have been lost for less.

And Don't forget to empty your PM Boxes regularly!!

ok, explain it to me like i'm a third grader she says...

when you send a PM, an auto-notifyer in the software sends you an email so you know that you've received a PM. This way, if you've been off the board for a time, and are checking your mail, you'll see that you've got a PM waiting for you over at good 'ol Sowal. Apparently, people are respoding to the email notifyer instead of logging on to Sowal and responding via PM, like they should be doing.

So, Kurt gets to check this now overflowing file(that bogs down the server) and delete all the erroneous(to the server) email responses.

clear? good.;-)

Thanks JR, I fully understand although I have never done this I never thought about the clogging of the server thing...I will also empty my pm box if that helps Kurt....

Okay....I think I understand. But, I have never received a notification on my email that I have a PM. Time to time, I do get emails about new posts or photos. I thought that I had told SoWal I didn't want to receive them.

apparently, you did, since you're not getting the emails. aren't you glad you initiated this entire conversation this am?:bang: :cool:

kurt, about the PMs. When you get one that's been sent to other recipients, the header reads "a,b,c,d,e" and so on and so forth. So say you want to reply to the same group. You can't cut and paste the guest list because it's separated by commas which is useless since you need ; to PM multiple people.

I guess what I'm saying is there any way to streamline the process so you don't have to type out all the recipients over and over every time you want to talk?
