Privacy note

[Steve D]

Basically Barry, a "private message" is internal to Net54. If you look at the upper right-hand corner of your screen where your login information is, you'll see "Private messages: Unread #, Total #." If you click on the hotlink there, you'll pull up any messages there.

If someone sends you an email, it goes outside Net54, to whatever your email address is.

If someone sends you a private message on Net54, you will get a notification in your normal email inbox telling you what to do. Also, I think you get a notification when you're on the board. So if you get one, you'll know. It's essentially like an email system, but to and from board members. I think I've got about 4 in total since this board has been up, and each time was notified via my normal email.

Steve- I do know about the box in the upper right, but if I get a private message and hit the link to respond, I don't get a clear area to write back. I get the sender's email and it looks like it needs to be deleted (unless I am doing something wrong).

By the way, did you see I fixed that grammatical error? Sometimes I go into brain lock. Thanks for pointing it out.

Barry,

I just went back to the other thread and saw the fix. I wasn't gonna say anything, but right after that thread, I went to another thread where someone asked you to check their spelling, so after that, I had to point it out! I see grammatical errors on CNN.com and other places all the time, and each time, I end up feeling like the AFLAC Duck after hearing Yogi Berra!

Now back to the private messages (PMs).....

Once you click on the hotlink in the top right corner of the screen, you should get a list of all the PMs you've received. Then, if you click on an individual message, it will bring up that message. In the bottom right corner of the message, you should have two buttons: "Forward" and "Reply".

If you click on "Reply", you should next see the "Send New Private Message" screen. Then, you simply type your message in the bottom (biggest) box, and click the "Submit Message" button, and you should be all set.

Leon,

Are you reading our private messages?

Hey, I really didn't mean those things I wrote about you when I sent those PMs to the other board members.

Is this how you know what everybody is thinking? I always thought you were omnipotent, I guess it aint so... you're just a cyber hack that likes to read everyone's PMs...

Ah, just funnin with you mi amigo...

Thanks Steve. Next one I get I'll try it.
