Personal Messages


It's not easy when you first start and someone tells you to send a "Personal Message" or "PM".

Here's how to do it.

Click the brown  blue "xx messages" at top right of screen.
Click the bluish/grey "new msg" icon.
Click the grey box next to the brown "Find members"
Type in say "yyyy" and click "Search"
After it has found yyyy's address, click the brown "yyyy" and it should address the mail to that person!
Type away.....

Enjoy,  Cheesy
Geoff.

Another way of doing this is:

If you are looking at a posting from someone you want to send a PM to,
then go to the left of the posting, and hover your cursor over the little green scroll.
A little box should come up, saying "Personal Message (online)" (if they are currently logged onto RootsChat) or "Personal Message (offline)"
Click on here and

To read your PMs, go to the top of the page and look for this line:

    Welcome back, XYZ, you have X messages, 2 are new. 

The "X messages" is blue, indicating that it is a link. Click there to read your messages (PMs)

Im not really sure whether to type this message but ive realised that it would be handy to be able to view just one recieved message instead of being transported to the message within your inbox screen...

..the reason being, that it would be quite useful to be able to print the message out for research notes/files as i've often found myself wondering "where did i get that info from" and then remember that i have an inbox on here.

I dont know how adaptable the coding is for this site as im guessing here (not wanting to offend any coders who built it!) that it is a generic style into which the founders of RootsChat added their customisation images/styles.

Just a thought...

Or alternatively (but probably just as challenging) the ability to forward messages to an email address.

I can survive without either of these... but it would be very nice to have those kind of features Smiley
