I just had two emails saying I had pms from Purple Diamond lol
Now I am not that sad that I need to pm myself, have enough trouble keeping up with all my messages as it is!

Have just sent gr a message saying how fed up I am with the changes they make that are no necessary or wanted.

Ann of Green Gables ,
thank you for that yes i see what you mean now .
i dont think that is a good idea at all , as you say if you want people to know your birth date you will tell them .
I think a pm to GR will be sent .

Thanks Sylvia, I just opened a message and answered it....
and I say again WHY?
When I first came on here, about 5 years I think, it was an amazingly easy programme to work through.
AND, I was a complete novice on the pooter.
G** help anyone starting today, with the knowledge I had then.
Off to do some real work on my tree now.
Byeee

Well good morning girls, and AGAIN I am having problems with the mail.
I now have a message from a member.... but I cannot open it.
In the passed few weeks I have had quite a struggle with changes!
WHY?
Someone who thinks it is a great idea to show off their 'talent' decides to 'mess with my mind!
AH WELL....

Ann of Green Gables ,

what I strongly object to is the fact that the first thing you see is your year of birth - if I wish people t know how old I am I shall tell them

well, mine seems to be arranged the same as before .......... ie, Inbox, Sent etc


However, I have to click on the TITLE of the message to be able to read it


If I click on the name of the person, as I used to do, then I get that person's profile



a friend on GR told me that she could not send a message unless she typed in a title for it



daft beggars ..... why can't they leave well alone?!

well at last I have worked out how to use this new message system - how cumbersome!! have asked GR to please go back to how it was before - if it ain't broke, don't mend it!!

I am glad you said that LADYCUTIE.... I am really fed up clicking like an idiot and getting nowhere.
I tried to put the message into drafts so that if there was a fault, I could post it later.... It could not even go to Drafts!

Caz, I have done that, gone down the page.... and there is nothing 'new' on the list.
I am so glad that I put up this post as I was feeling as if I WERE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

See...It is not ALWAYS my fault.... even if I think it is.;-0)

Thanks girls.
Good luck.... and how do I e-mail them because there is another problem!
