Does anyone know whether Genes still send an e mail to tell people that they have been sent a message on the site? I was so pleased to find a positive link at the weekend after my 'New names' showed someone had posted 42 people with the right surname in the right area so I sent a message straight off to him. But will he know, if he isn't yet an addict to the boards? |

They do: it comes as an e-mail to say something like: "You have a message from Bill, click the link below to read the message". |

Oh. Thanks for that. There may be hope then. I wonder why they don't tell me? I've had messages recently but haven't known until I've actually logged in to this site. |

It seems to be hit and miss whether or not you get an e mail. I have usually read any messages by the time I get the e mail to say I have a new mesage. It is not very efficient so best to check regularly. Ann Glos |

Hi Gwyneth I sent a mail to someone on here earlier but I still havnt recieved it through my email account to say it has gone. I know it usualy does, but sometimes it goes into Junk mail. I never used to have any so never looked in the junk mail. But then soon as Genes changed their email ways it went in there for some reason so now I have to check it every day. So perhaps the person does not read their junk mail. |

No messages from Genes but I don't care now!. I've had a reply from my message this evening and it contains an e mail address so we can mail direct. The system of notifying us does seem a bit hit and miss though. |
