PM notification.

ben88 · Aug 7, 2018

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section. I couldn't find a "technical department"

Lately I stopped getting PM notifications (through my email) in timely manner. Used to get them within a minute, now it's either couple of hours or next day. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced that phenomenon, or I need you change me email in my profile.
BTW - should we delete old PMs to lighten up the space?

I have already notified Kevin, he will respond soon I guess.

I don't know why this is happening.
Gmail doesn't usually have issues.
I put in a support request for the server tech to investigate it.
Anyone else having this issue?

brooklynpiper · Aug 7, 2018

Yes—only a couple of times though

bassbug · Aug 7, 2018

Same here.
I use g mail and have experienced a delay of up to 2 hours

I do, I won't receive notification to my Gmail about a PM for several hours after it's actually in my inbox. Doesn't happen all the time, but when trying to exchange back and forth, it's better if I stay logged on until we're done PM'ing, because Gmail doesn't notify within a reasonable time frame.

Are we talking a PM issue or a Gmail issue, or the intersection of both?
In any event, I'd like to know how to delete old PMs.

Likely both? Not sure if it's an issue with the forum relating the new message notification to Gmail or any email system. Could be to just Gmail, could be all email systems with how they handle the sent data. Could be the forum is slow to send out the notification. Not sure how it works, probably rather technical that a computer/software engineer or an IT guy/gal might know, but I'm just a civil engineer that plays in the earth, so it's above my head a bit.

In any event, I'd like to know how to delete old PMs.

Go to your messages, to the right is a little box at the end of each message. Check all the ones you want to remove, then click delete at the bottom.

You only delete PMs that you received. You can not delete the ones you sent.

I use gmail and have never had a problem. I do not get many PMs, but I figured I would chime in.

I should have specified, in bulk. Annoying to have to delete hundreds individually. But thanks.

Ah! I see, yeah, I can see how that would be annoying if you had a lot to delete. Should add that Shift+Click after selecting one to add to the delete count.
