Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Hi:
I saw the indicator "1" that I had a private message waiting. When I clicked on private messages, the website simply took me to the forum index page. What's more, the indicator disappeared, so now I have no idea who sent or even if I received a PM. Are there issues with this right now?

I just sent you a test message?

Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Wait, this is confusing. I rarely use these features. Maybe the 1 was to the right of notifications, and not PM. I can't remember now. Either way, if I click on Private Messages, I get forwarded to the forum index. Nothing else. No message.
Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Me too, looks like the "Private Messages" link at the top of the board is broken.
To get to your private messages you can click on your name at the top right (next to Private Messages), choose User Control Panel, and then one of the tabs in there is Private Messages. That works.

Hmmmm...now it showed as 1 PM. But when I clicked on my user profile and then the Private Messages tab, no private messsages appeared to exist. Something is wrong, methinks.

Indeed, the link for Private Message is broken. Me thinks a recent software update broke it. No doubt an Administrator will be on top of the problem when one is available.

An administrator is now available and looking into the problem . I can confirm that the Private messages link isn't functioning correctly.

A workaround until the problem is identified and resolved is via your User Control Panel, which is accessed via the dropdown menu from your username beside the Private messages link. The direct link is http://www.financialwisdomforum.org/for ... p?i=ucp_pm

Can those who were experiencing the problem please check again. I'm no longer able to reproduce the problem

Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Agreed, it works for me now.
Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Works for me now too (Win10 Desktop and Chrome) whereas that was the one instance where it was not working before.

Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
It's working again for me too. Got 'em. Thanks everyone.
Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
Looks like this problem has started up again. When I click on Private Messages I get the Board Index. I had to go through the User Control Panel. Windows 10, IE11.

Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
I tried last night after DenisD posted and again this morning and cannot reproduce the problem. Running Chrome (beta) on Windows 10. The previous time this did occur I was able to reproduce it.
Can anyone else confirm (or deny) that the problem is still occurring, so we can figure out if it is widespread or not. Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
I experienced the problem early last night again. Haven't tried this morning.
Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
It's currently working fine for me.
Re: Can't read a Private Message I allegedly had
It's working for me too today.
