PM's on THF

All our PM's disappeared about a month ago, apparently never to return. Is the system back up and working now? Sending and receiving?

It's been working for me. Old messages are lost, but new ones seem to stick around.

Yep, Removed without warning or update to the users.....

Today's "customer service."

I think losing PM's was fallout from getting the Forum speed back.

I wasn't complaining. I just want to know if PM's can be sent and received right now. Thanks.

In the good old days they would just zap “Memes and news stories”
I suppose this was a different issue.
I wonder what gets deleted next?

My PM’s are free so I don’t feel like I’m a customer.

We're not the customers. We're the product.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution makes that a constitutional requirement of the government. I don’t remember anything about the THF in my constitutional training but I did fall asleep during the 13th Amendment.

My Hotmail is also free, if mine and everyone's messages were to be deleted there would be an uproar.
PMs here is not different. I am surprised they it went so easy by the membership here.

Hotmail has one purpose. The purpose of the THF is not the PM system. You should have had a backup if the information in your PM box was so important. And as far as the question about current operation, the best way to find out is to TRY IT.

I did not get bothered by the PMs being removed, it seemed to have been necessary. But the PM system is part of the service offered by the THF, if it is offered, it should work. We see "PM sent" or "send me a PM" all the time. I have used it for many transactions.
I am not upset at the management/moderators, I just think it is part of the deal.
"And as far as the question about current operation" I am not following you there.

People whining and complaining about a forum that’s free…jeez!

^^^^ this ^^^^

Probably should close the threads with multi thousands of posts.

I see a discussion, no whining or complaining

I saw some whining and complaining. It stopped when it was pointed out though.

Does anybody have any idea if new pms will disappear and at what point if so.

I know many who paid for supporting memberships on TFF an THF.

Plus donated to any charity if needed

They need to make PMs auto-delete after 30 days as THF policy. The same with "Memes and news stories," really, who is going to read and watch 158 pages of memes and video clips.
If it is free, no one can complain

No "whining and complaining" but there has to be a way to better communicate from the top.

When are you to step up and buy a membership?

I bought a supportin membership decades ago, 2003 to be exact.

What about you? When you gonna step up and buy a membership?

<—- left hand column. RIF!

I don’t see a member icon next to your name!

I am a supporting member on the the TFF, THF wasn't around back then.

You didn't know the TFF existed before the THF?

You didn't know the TFF and THF are ran by the same person?

The original poster says he wasn't complaining about losing the PMs but instead posted to find out if the PM system was operational so my advice is try it and see instead of posting a question (same amount of work, one way tests it empirically and the other tests by opinion).


What does that mean? How about we communicate better from the the bottom. This is about the 10th topic started by a different person on the same subject.

Got it, I thought you were still replying to my post.

This is the THF, not the TFF. You didn’t know?

Same difference, Same owner. JP personally asked me to create an account on the THF.

Maybe if JP would have come out and just said the pm's were gone and we're moving on, there wouldn't be 10 topics on the same subject.

Truly makes zero difference whether he "came out" and told everyone something obvious. Hey, look my PMs are gone. Why would anyone need to be told that? The logic keeps getting more and more skewed...

Yea, ok...

Ok, maybe not whining. How about sniveling?
