BobT-47P15 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I went to my user profile page while ago (I seldom go look at it) and there were a couple messages from new members. One had been there since October, the other just a week or two. I had forgotten people can leave a message there. So, you might want to go look at your page from time to time in case someone has posted a question there. I replied to both parties. I'm sure the fellow from October thought he was being totally ignored. Not sure I've seen his handle turn up on the forum.....or at least not very often. So......thought I'd just mention this as hopefully helpful information. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Dang Bob I had 10 including someone rather ticked that I wouldn't give them my phone number for some sorta deal?? The oldest from back in 09! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) you can trun of visitor messaging in the EDIT OPTIUONS section of your profile... Edited January 16, 2013 by Tim Adams Quote
Mark D Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 For some reason when I delete the messages that have been left for me on my profile page, the message get deleted, but the author and date get left behind. Not sure if this is visible to the world or only in my view? Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Since Tim said the message feature can be turned off.....I think I'll turn mine off. Would be perhaps better than them leaving a message and getting no reply - thinking no one cares enough to respond. Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I have the same thing. When I just visited your page no messages were visible. I do see by your profile that you have a girlfriend. Care to tell us about her:D Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Sounds like Ed needs to update. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Apparently I turned off the messages successfully but have some more checking to do. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 OK its fixed. Carmon's been upgraded to wife and Leo got added in. Oh and I got 3 years older! Quote
fstfish66 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 im kinda lost here,do you meen under messages such as A PM ? Quote
48Dodger Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) im kinda lost here,do you meen under messages such as A PM ? When you click on your own profile name....there is a "window" below your profile picture that has a tab that sez "visitor meassages"....more of a personal message board. If you want to see your PM's you can use the highligted link that says "Private Messages", upper right corner, which bypasses the profile page. I'll leave you a note to so you can see it.....when you delete my meassage, it'll leave a marker saying you deleted it. I don't check my profile either on a regular basis and feel most would PM me over leaving a profile message. Guess I need to turn mine off too. 48D Edited January 17, 2013 by 48dodger Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Posted January 17, 2013 Newbies don't know how to navigate these forums right at first...... so they tend to leave messages in places they first come upon. Quote
