I agree, hopefully just a site issue. You may be a bit more mature than I am, gogant... I have had very few mean comments left for me, hardly any, but of the ones that were left for me, I choose to leave them so that others can view the users comment as it may help them make a decision as to whether or not they would like to read that persons work.

I think that's an excellent suggestion, Ravoya! I always start with the most recent, but very often it is an older poem that the poet has placed in contest...I agree it would nice if the ones in contest stood out on a poets page.smile

RE: Site Function Problems

Whenever I try to read a poem posted by Bandit or one posted at poetrysurvivor1 it goes to Fred1932. Thus I am unable to read poems in the contest

This was a database issue and has just been fixed.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Not sure I quite follow. Are you talking about when you hit reply, the quoted text?

-Papa Paczki shock


When I send a message and the person replies, the sent and reply messages coming back to me are clumped into one paragraph; continuing the conversation, it becomes one dense paragraph containing all of the messages mixed together, no separation, no breaks. Very hard to read. Thanks!big surprise

Yah, I need to clean that up. Its the poor quoting format that its in the replies. Then when you start to type around 'em, it all goes down hill. I'll fix it ASAP.

RE: Site Function Problems

Hey Papa,
Just curious...is it better to PM a message from your own page, or from the poet who you're trying to contacts page? I have had some problems with t a poet receiving my replies, although I receive all their messages. I have re-written one reply up to three times and re-sent. I am hoping I will find out soon whether the 3rd was received. Granted, the poet does want me to reply as they say keep trying there's a glitch in the system.

It shouldn't make a difference. Where are you sending from that they are saying they aren't receiving them?

I tried sending you a private message, but it wasn't sent...or at least didn't
show in my sent box. When I went to your site, it didn't have the box to add
as friend. You might have clicked the, ignore box, by mistake. I don't know
if that can be fixed or not...maybe papa could tell us................................gogant

RE: Site Function Problems

I have a problem using quotation marks both on comments and in private messages. “””” Seems to work fine here on the forum but this is what it looks like on a comment �� period. Iâ��ve moved on.

Thanks for your help!

Messaging from your Private Message area or a poets profile will have the exact same effect. One method is not better then the other.

I have just fixed a couple of problems with the Private Messages.
1. Your in-box will no longer show messages that "Look Open" but you have never read. This was a site wide problem and your messages have NOT been read by anyone else.

2. Messages will no longer "Disappear". This was another bug that caused messages to be temporarily invisible.

I will also spend some time making the formatting of the messages easier to read upon receiving a reply.

Thank you all for your Patients!

RE: Site Function Problems

Some punctuation, apostrophes in particular, do not send well on this site since the change...they tend to come out as boxes and symbols. In particular this seems to happen when sending private messages. Sort of a problem....

I think I finally got this bug squashed.

Please let me know if you guys have any more issues with the private messages.

Thanks
