Ellen,

The private messages will sit in your outbox until opened by the addressees

Best wishes,

Hi Ladies
I've received both your replies - thanks. So it seems there should be no problem for either of you receiving PMs or replying to them. Sending a PM obviously works fine from your accounts, or the replies would not have reached me, so I'm not sure what the problem might be.

Best wishes
Lesley

Meg,
Thanks for that!
I take it that long-suffering Alan is at last asleep down under!
Regards,
Ellen.

Greetings Ladies.

Unfortunately for us mortals, while computers are amazing tools, they work on precision instructions, so one key board error and you do NOT get the result you are after.

There are of course some programmes with fuzzy logic that will prompt you with:- Do you know you have number or caps lock ON, was it qwerty or querty, shazbat or shazabat, that you want ? Unfortunately TS does not have that ability with their programme.

I still have not got the hang of the TS save option, so I always have a WORD programme on, and trial my reply in that for spelling and grammar checks first and do not discard the message until I know that the copied and pasted message has been successfully posted in the TS forum or PM. As stated else where, even a successfully posted message sits in your PM OUT BOX until it is read by the recipient, then it transfers to your SENT box.

When the red warning line appears, just have another try at getting the form to accept the username you wish to send to. Sooner or later you will, hopefully, get it right.

Yes, like others on the net I tend to sit at the computer when I eat my morning cereal, and check it again at night before retiring. If I get involved - sometimes the hours slip by - it may be after mid-night before I turn off.

In my hour of need my community rallied around. While most of those who did, have no need of a return favour, I still feel the need to return, to the greater community, what little help I can. What goes around – comes around.

Alan SHARP.

Just to say that I have successfully linked with Sharon, so a big THANKS to ALL who helped, especially with the private message issue, and special thanks to Alan Sharp in NZ who was on the case right away and who persevered to the end. Great work, Talking Scots.
Ellen.
