P.M problems...... - Diesel Forum

Texrob1 · 01-18-2008, 09:00 PM

For some reason I can't start a new thread, I just tried sending a P.M & got the following error "Please complete both the subject & message fields" The subject field was filled out,the only message field I see is one where no info can be added. Is anyone else having this problem? Or have I forgotten how to send a P.M?

How are you trying to send a PM? The only way I've done it on the new system is by clicking on a member's name or replying.

I'll try to help, but I'm kind of a babe in the woods with this new software too. And I'm learning the moderator stuff along with the regular stuff.

on edit; Just found the "send new PM" button, and tried to duplicate your error message. I did get it when I left the body and recipient empty, but once I filled something in on all of the boxes, it went somewhere. (You should have gotten my test message, feel free to delete it.)

Well I got your P.M & replyed to it,but when I tried to send the P.M to the other recipient again,I got the same error message,both the recipient & the title were filled out,the smilies were not working for me either (No they are not disabled I checked that) that may be some sort of clue,thanks Robert.

The only thing I can suggest is logging out and logging back in again.

If that doesn't work, an Admin (or at least someone who knows more than me) will need to help.

Well I tried Logging out & back in,no luck same message,thanks for trying,I guess an Admin guy will have to look at it when they get time,BTW did you get my response to your P.M earlier,it looked like it went through.

Rob -

Kill your browser, then go into internet options and delete all cookies and temporary internet files. Then reboot your computer. Fire up the browser and log into TheDieselStop.

That usually fixes any unexplained problems for me.

Of course that means that you'll have to log onto every website you visit, but that's part of the cost of PC maintenance with a Windows system.

Thanks Smokey I will try that. Well I cleared the temproary files & cookies,rebooted,logged out & back in and still not able to send a P.M, It won't let me select any smilies either,Not sure what the heck is going on.

Rob, Yes I got your PM reply before my previous post in this thread (sorry, forgot to mention it). Strange that you can reply, but can't start new PM or new threads. Definitely an Admin thing at this point. There may be something strange in your account that only an Admin can fix (or recognize -

).

Thanks Kevin,it's either my account, or something with the work computer,I have not had time to try at Home (working nights right now) have a Good one.

Well either the problem has fixed itself,or my problems are caused by the computer at work,I sent the P.M just fine from the house & the smilies are working again,thanks to all that tried to help.
