I had only made one post when I got a personal message which I was able to access but not reply to until I had made 3 posts, this is my 3rd post so hopefully I will be able to reply to the message now.

Dear Bob,
I sent an Email of a posting on RootsChat to a friend. Questions: 1. Where is it stored? 2. How do I recover it (for further details etc)?
Many thanks
Bill

Hi Bill
Bob's busy so I hope you don't mind if I try to help?
Did you use the Send to a Friend button? If yes, the friend would receive a link to the topic, which they can click on.
I don't think the system records the fact that you've sent it, nor do you get a copy in your Sent Items, so you need to try to remember what the topic was & use Search Rootschat to find it again.
If you posted on the topic, however, you will find it by going into your Profile, where all your posts are duplicated.
Or you could ask the friend to Forward a copy of the email to you?
Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Arranroots

Hi gillm,
Welcome to rootschat. You need to make at least 3 more postings then you will be able to PM the person. If you look at the How to use Rootschat, FAQ's highlighted in red, this will explain.
Just post a couple of smilies back and that will help with your postings.
Cheers
KHP

Hi yn9man, Can you delete or "zero out" the personal message section or is it an ongoing "counter"? not quite sure how you mean that, so if this doesn't help, ask again. The "You have xxx messages" is a permanent counter and always appears, if you are logged in to RootsChat. It always shows the number of messages currently in your in-box. Bob
The above is quite old but I found it while trying to find an answer to rhe same question.
I found that my messages stuck at 30 (OK.maybe I should have deleted a few) but does the system now limit the in-tray to 30?
I was looking back for some of the first messages I received when I joined a month ago and they are no longer there.

Hi David
it's probably something many of us have suffered from. To correct it, you have to go to your profile. Click on Look and Layout preferences and make sure that 'show most recent personal messages on top' is checked. Then click on Change Profile.
if that doesn't solve it, I can't think of anything else

Thanks Gadget; that wasn't quite the problem.
I get the impression that the system progressively deletes personal messages, oldest first, and only allows up to 30 to be held.
Am I wrong? Otherwise, why have somr of my first replies from last month been lost??

David,
PMs do not get deleted by the system - some members have many 100s of PMs in their In and Out boxes (but PMs are really private e-mails, so we do suggest a bit of judicious weeding now and again, just like any other e-mail box).
As Gadget says, the best (indeed, so far the only) method of combatting this, is the
'show most recent personal messages on top' method.
If this doesn't work for your PMs, then this is a new problem

Is there a way of stopping getting the 'new replies to your posts' for one thread only ... I made a single contribution to a particular thread months ago, maybe even a year ago, and every day almost I get 'new reply to my post' ... I'm quite happy to get other 'new replies' ... its just that particular one that is getting a trifle annoying !
If not, I'll grin and bear it ...

I don't think there is, Lydart. I've got a few of them as well
There've been other threads on this problem somewhere and the answer seems to be NO
