OK, I have an embarrassing question... When I get a PM from someone here should I send a reply from the original message that I got or should I go to the link that it contains and send an answer through a new "PM" or "Email"? Someone clear this up for me please.

I always send a reply from the original PM message I received.

Doug, are you referring to the email notice of the PM?

If so, reply from the link. If not, disregard this message.

Oops, I got some typing to do then. I replied from the original notice on most of the latest ones I gotten (about items I'm selling)..

if you're replying to the 914club email you're getting that says that you have a new PM, your reply is going to be lost in space. this is just a notification email for this BBS, NOT a personal email from whoever has send you a PM.

you have to use the link in that email which will open up a browser with the PM in question and you then reply there ...

btw. nice work sean!

later, Andy

OK, but if it says it's an "email" as opposed to a "PM", then I should reply directly from there right? - because the link is only to the entire forum and not a specific message. Hope I got it right..

yes!

if someone send you an email through the BBS, you have to reply to that email.

This is what it looks like if you received an email from the board:
It will say Email in it.

Nice job on the FAQ's
but I don't have the option to "CC" a message
Do I have to pay more to become a "Gold" member

It may be an admin thing. I'll check.

Posted by: seanery Jul 16 2004, 06:23 PM

Yup,
admins can CC, members can not. sorry.
