STYRENE-SURFER Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) OK, I just sent a PM to someone here and after sending it I could see their past PM's to other members. (Don't worry Jim, I didn't read any.) But why the heck could I see that!!! Maybe just a bug on my side but troubling nonetheless.

Zoom Zoom Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 A couple times a week when viewing “latest/unread” posts I’ll see a private message sent to someone as if it was a regular post on the forum. The software used here is supremely jacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ambrose Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I doubt it's a private message. Not even mods and admins can see those unless you add one of us to the conversation. In all the instances I've seen, the message has been in response to a member's status. Statuses and their responses are public, not private. This seems to be a common point of confusion. If this was a private message, and not a status, please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Maybe the members who see that weirdness could take a screen capture showing the problem and PM it to the admins (Dave Ambrose)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "Statuses and their responses"? what I saw sure looked like the persons PM replies to others. I didn't take the time to read them because none of my business. Oh, I think you are saying that their latest posts show up below the message sent? Edited March 28, 2020 by STYRENE-SURFER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 If you go to a members profile page you can add to their "Activity Feed" I believe that may be what you are seeing. Kind of like posting on someone's Facebook page. I could be completely wrong too, as I have not used that function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Like I said, a screen capture (and a PM to a moderator) could easily clarify this oddity. As they say "picture, or it didn't happen". Edited March 29, 2020 by peteski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
