I'm not seeing anything. Maybe someone else knows something I don't.
Just a friendly reminder that the help forum and the feedback forum are two seperate things.

I always get that message and I believe it was put in place so that Staff will know whether or not a member has read the PMs that are sent out by them. This way we can see if a PM has been read or not and then the member cannot claim that he has not read it. I didn't think that it was a feature that could be turned on or off and I don't understand why you don't get the little message, RSL.

Yeah, that little message is kind of annoying.
Oh, and Leeza: that wouldn't exactly work, 'cause the receiver has the option of not sending a receipt.
i always get that thing, it's dead annoying

This is not an option any longer, as far as I know. Receipts are now automatically sent so that the Staff knows whether or not a PM has been read. It used to be that you had a choice, I believe, but not anymore.Originally Posted by Raistlin

He's talking about the prompt when you <i>send</i> a PM, not when you receive one. Obviously, you're not going to be asked whether you want to confirm you read it if the sender didn't request a confirmation.
And then there is Death

I see. Well, I think you're all stuck with the little message anyway because I don't think there would be a way for some members to get it and some not. But I know I click the OK button at all times because when I send ed a PM, I do want to know whether or not he's read it.

That thing....I've been looking for a way to get rid of it!I cannot find a way, sadly.
All life begins with a Nu and ends with a Nu.
What I mean by " I'm not seeing anything." is that I don't see any way to turn this option off.
Really? Aw.This is not an option any longer, as far as I know. Receipts are now automatically sent so that the Staff knows whether or not a PM has been read. It used to be that you had a choice, I believe, but not anymore.
Raf: Leeza was actually right. Somehow. :rolleyes2
xDI see. Well, I think you're all stuck with the little message anyway because I don't think there would be a way for some members to get it and some not. But I know I click the OK button at all times because when I send ed a PM, I do want to know whether or not he's read it.
Okay, I'll add my dumb question to this thread. How do you check if someone has read your PM? I have absolutely no idea.

Right under the drop-down list there will be something like this:
<i>You have 1066 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed private message receipts.</i>
Click on it and scroll right down to the bottom of the page.

Do I have to request a "read receipt" for that? Because I always click cancel when that comes up.
Recognized Member
Yes, you have to click on OK in order for PMs to show up there. I just tested it out. If you click on Cancel, your PM won't show up there.
