Member message notification didn't work

Ooops - your mail box

Hi Motherhen

I (we?) used to get a pop up message when you logged on to say "you have a new member message"

This doesnt seem to work anymore as last week a member sent me a message and the only way I knew was that he posted the advice to me in a post on the forum that he had sent me a mm...had he not done that then I would not have received it or gone looking for it.......

what I did notice was a very tiny symbol flashing in the top right hand corner near the search bar...utterly useless for notification of messages and I am sure many people will be missing that..

maybe other members or David can explain why the message alert feature is no longer poping up...hopefully they will restore it like it was.

cheers

I agree that the new blinking envelope icon is difficult to see, especially in amongst all the other things that are going round and round and blinking and winking at you.
I much prefer the old MM icon that we had.
I received a MM tonight, and the little box came up in the middle of my screen to say that I had a new MM. First time I have seen that for a long time.
I have also had problems with sending a copy of my MM to my email addy too. I have reported this though.

G'day Ladies and Gents,

I emailed David about the lack of a popup last week and today a popup appeared directing me to the little envelope.

It all worked very well.

Maybe this influx of "lost in space" messages may have something to do with adjusting the system.

Motherhen,
I recognise you as a loyal, stoic,medium term member of David and Michelle's site, and as such I offer the following:
I'm ( apparently), a raving ratbag, and thought it was just my luddite attitude that set me apart from the EO Programmers, what with all the advertising, bells'n whistles and nonsense.

But I do wonder why the Sentry remains asleep at his post. Have not the alarms been sounded?

The last time I broached this subject, I seem to recall that a Goose (called himself 'Seven'?), got stuck into me about finances, and the need for D&M to make a quid.
(I offered to pay his membership....sigh, how times change.)

I can only hope that that Gentleman has since forsaken a bottle of medium quality whisky in deference to membership of EO.

In short, I feel that the "user friendly" aspect of EO has been usurped by commercialism.
Not unlike the local milk bar of our youth being replaced by the Mc Dollars of our grand children.
Stand by me in court eh,
Jeff H.

Well said
