PM

I had the same problem today. When I pressed post a white rectangle came up with the word CLOSE.
I solved the problem. Instead of using the reply screen I simply sent them a message which worked.

Sorry Esspee I'm not sure what you mean

I'm new to GN and have had 3 PM s today. I have replied but now not sure if they were actually received after reading these posts from sodapop and esspee. How do we compose a private message?

Sorry if I wasn’t clear sodapop.
Go into your Inbox and select New Message. Send as a new message rather than a reply. I have had confirmation that my message was received.
It is not a solution, simply a work around. I shall notify GNHQ.

That applies to you too Sweetpeasue. Welcome to Gransnet.

Much appreciated Esspee. ?

I tried to respond to someone today and also got the empty box. A fault with GN, methinks.

Thanks Esspee

Would it work if you went into the private message box on one of the posters posts as opposed to trying to answer on your inbox sodapop or have you tried that ?

Me too. I can't send, for some reason.

Sodapop, you should be able to reply to a private message, simply be writing your reply under the PM you received, but if I understood you correctly this isn't happening.

Did you try going back to the person's original post and clicking on private message there, writing your reply there and sending it?

If neither works, you need to get onto GN about it.

There is a problem with replying just now. You have to start a new message.

Thanks for your help everyone. The new message worked OK. It was strange because I was able to reply to one poster in the usual way but not another. Hey ho the weird workings of the Internet

Hi all

Can you try cancelling the message and starting a new one, with a new subject line? That should sort things out.

That is a workaround. We need a solution.

Yes it works . I believe it was caused by multi messaging.
