I've noticed numerous times over the past few months that PMs sent via the Review Comment feature are not being received, and in some cases are being automatically mailed twice for no apparent reason. |

I still don't get notified that I've recieved them, but that's another thread altogether.
AFAIK I haven't had this problem. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I got one a couple weeks ago, it seems to work for me.
Actually, last one I got was on September 2. I haven't sent one in a while, though, so I don't know about that side of it (although if I received one obviously it was sent....) ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

Can't really say that they are not getting through ... I received a few very lately ... speaking of several days lurking

hmm, maybe people just aren't checking their mailboxes and have the notifier turned off |

When I try to PM people regarding reviews it keeps saying internal error - and logs me out. But not really because I´m still on and can freely roam the forums Doesn´t matter though, I sent a regular PM and it worked like a charm.------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

^ Yeah that's a solution but if the Comment function has a serious bug, it should be suspended or fixed-- otherwise people think their comments are being received (or read) and, as far as they know, ignored. This is an unsatisfactory breakdown in communication between members and deprives reviewers of the feedback and encouragement that may keep them writing reviews, the lifeblood of the site. |

^I completely agree with you, I just didn´t want to be a pain the ass. I don´t know enough about computers or how they work - to fully understand how troublesome it is to "repair" such a bug. Come to think of it - the only reason why I was able to send that PM, was that I´d been corresponding with Chris(seventhsojourn) before this problem started. Might not have happened, if the PM system had been wacky back then too...
To be able to send PMs directly through the written review is very important to me, because it´s such an easy way to do it, and you´re still "in the moment" fresh out of the review. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I wonder if this is the case....I have sent many, many PM's off reviews and I have never received a reply back from the person. Now maybe its just coincidence and I certainly am not looking for a reply back but I would think if someone gives you a positive comment on your review u would at least reply back "Thanks". -------------

Don't mean email...I mean the pop up window that comes up when you come back to PA after getting a PM from someone. That works fine with normal PMs (again AFAIK). ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

For the first time in quite a while I have had no problems whatsoever concerning review PMs I know this is for reporting bugs, but I think it´s just as important to let you guys know when things start working as they should again. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I'm glad; unfortunately Warthur appears to have just today received a Review PM I sent him two weeks ago. Unless he was on vacay, there's still a problem |

Internal error again today, when I tried to PM John(Mellotron Storm) upon his brilliant International Harvester review. I wrote him a mail, but man I thought we were through with this silly business. A bit irritating... EDIT: Ok it´s working again

| I think I've figured out the problem. The review comments will not appear in the inbox until you actually go to your inbox. It is then that the pop-up you have a new message finally appears. This happens even when the notifier is on it seems. |

I just tested this now (sent review comments on one of my own reviews) It does appear to work immediately but you don't get the PM message waiting popup until you go into your in box (which conversely states you have 0 new messages)

probably due to the strange reason that I haven't received any other PM during this period of 13 days ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Rivertree" rel="nofollow"> |
