MX-5 OC Forum

Bluenoes:

Geoff, I was not calling you a liar.I was just pointing out the fact that most forum software I have encountered has had the option of viewing PM's. I am very surprised that this one has not got the option.

Fair enough Andy, this Community Server software is the weirdest I've come across. In things like phpBB it is very easy to find your way around, this is another thing altogether

I'm not going to say anything on this subject, people on here know my feeling to the mods on here!

Suppose a good rule of thumb is not to say anything in private pm on here that your not willing to be seen in public !!

What is the name of this forum software?

With most forum software, some coder will have written an unofficial add-on to view PMs in a GUI. Of course you would have to choose to install it and use it - and it also would be highly unlikely to increment the "read by" count.

That depends entirely on how well the software is written..... The forum software supplier doesn't seem to know as much as you might expect about the "read count". Either they really do and they just don't want to say or they don't know.

PS I've worked for quite a few software comapnies and this kind of thing isn't as unusual as you think.....

PPS Interestingly enough the counts on my messages haven't been going up recently - good news......

It's much more likely that they know fine well that it doesn't work right but they just don't want to spend the time/money resolving it.
