Can you still tell whether a 'PM' has been read by the recipient? All my inbox and outbox icons now appear as having been read, although I know that some used to appear as an unopened envelope icon before the website changes. Thanks.

I am never sure that I have sent the message to the right person or to myself! The message system isn't clear at all and like you was wondering if the messages have been opened or not.

Hi Lecfec - hope you're well - PM me if you can!!!! I sent a PM to someone the other day, expressing exactly the same concern - am I sending the PM to that person or to me? Now I'm also wondering whether I'm sending a reply to the OP or just to Lecfec - really not convinced by this new-look HG!!!!

I dont think you can tell anymore, I will ask one of the Tech dudes at proboards. You can see all pms to the same person and replys on the same page, which makes chatting by pm easier.

I personally don't want to chat by PM. All I want to do is answer for sale or wanted ads. without posting on the open forum ( as frequently requested we should do) I now have no idea if the item is sold or my offer rejected or if the message has just not got through!! Im afraid along with the "go slow", "all the double clicking", and the "stupid arrow" and now this, I find I am spending much less enjoyable time on HG. Looking at the timing of posts etc I dont think I am the only one! Sorry mods, know its not your fault but it does seem such a shame!

If people dont want to reply to your pm then thats up to them and not the fault of the site.

Maybe so, but the fact remains I do not actually know the PM has been received or read!

Tech team at proboards have replied, see post below.
This is no longer available in V5, as it's hard to micromanage who has and hasn't read a PM in a conversation with multiple people (multiple people can take part in a single PM conversation now).

I don't understand that! I too think I might be having pm problems, but not sure as I can't tell if they have been opened... It seems very hit and miss. I have sent messages both replying re things I have for sale, and asking about things for sale with variable luck! So, is it the system or are people getting ruder??? Thanks to the few that have replied by the way! And, if I haven't replied to anyone it's because I've not received it to reply to...!!!!

Its not the system, people will have received the pm and just not replied to it.
