Help Mods - PM changes to my username???
Help Mods - PM changes to my username???
Good morning, sorry for the bother on a beautiful Sunday morning but I would like some help. When I try to send a PM, the user name switches from the person that I am sending the message to my user name. I delete it or do a search an select the right user name but it switches back to my user name or sends the PM to my Outbox and not in my Sentbox; I do not think the PMs are being sent and I have to Post on the thread of the member that I am trying to reach. This has been going on for about a week or so. I really appreciate your help. Best regards, river1

The best way to change anything in your account (if you are unsure) is to contact (PM) a moderator or admin "prior to doing anything". They don't mind and would rather make sure the changes are done correctly rather than "fix" something that is broke. The mods are usually listed at the top of the forum: Moderator =. Or if you don't receive a prompt response, contact Dr Moss. He is usually very responsive and fast acting. Just be prepared to receive a response: "Did you read...". But that's OK. Just follow the instructions, and don't wear your feelings on your sleeve. I've made a few errors and it was resolved promptly.

That's too passive aggressive for me! You're right though, that if you want to change your e-mail in your profile, your account will require re-activation by an admin (not a mod).Racso_MS wrote:Just be prepared to receive a response: "Did you read...". But that's OK.

Chris and Oscar, thank both of you for the help and advise including the caveat that "read this" is expected and part of the process without the feelings on the sleeve attitude. It is actually welcomed because I go round and round on the FAQ usually reading all of the wrong things. Doug

Hi Chris, and I just read the sticky that the admin's wouldn't chew me out; I am not sure about the foot rub, but the "buy you a drink" certainly sounds fair to me.drmoss_ca wrote:That's too passive aggressive for me!

Well there I go again Chris with the same problem of the PM switching from who I want it to go to back to my name. After reading my problems before, I am reminded to shut off the Norton auto-fill feature since I just installed the new software for this year.
