Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Where are the private messages?


OK, here's a stupid question. I've seen Howard mention a couple of times that there may be private messages, or a personal inbox, somewhere for forum members. For the life of me, I can't find it. Does anybody know where it is/how to get to it?


Thanks,


Tim & Robyn Fansler

If you click on your name at the top of the screen where it says "Logged in as" a page will come up with your profile on it. It will say name, number of post, where you live etc. the last thing on that list is "Private Messages" and beside that it will say "view messages" If you click on "view Messages" it takes you to your mail box.

I love this community and this forum!  I don't even have to answer any questions.


Just to add, if you receive any private messages, there will be a notification that you have messages under the "Logged in as".  If you have a message, you can just click on the notification to get your messages.  So you don't HAVE to go into your profile to check for new messages, but that is where you can access your inbox and outbox at any time.  Guess I should have made this post BEFORE berating folks for not using the Private Messaging.  Oops.

Oh yeah, a couple more things.


Another way to get to your profile is to click on the "User Details" in the bar at the top when you are logged in.  Private Messaging is the last item in the first box of your profile, so you can click on "View Messages".


As you are going through the forum, you can click on anyone's username where they have posted a comment.  You should get a box that gives you the option to "Send a Private Message", "View Profile", or "Send an Email".  You can click on any of those options - the Private Message will stay within this forum while an email (if an email address is provided) will go through normal email channels.


You can also click on "List All Users" in the bar at the top.  You can sort the list four ways to find a user and send a Private Message from there as well.


And you will see people use the abbreviation PM for Private Messaging.  As in "PM me and I will give you more details."  I think that about covers it.

Tim, we've done private messaging when I was asking about Robyn. How is she, by the way, any updates?

I followed the directions and still can't find the private message I'm supposed to have waiting somewhere. Since I cannot locate the private message can the person send it to me by email?

Where do I find the information to make the avatar I uploaded show in my messages?  hmm

RanCar,

I sent you the private message and I've also sent you an email, a response to your private message, and written on your whiteboard so you can see how it all works. :)
