Hi Jayho, just checked mine and all are there. Sent you a pm. Hopefully, you can still receive incoming pms? Hope Victor can sort this for you. Lynne |

mmm ... very strange. Thanks Kohai. Lynne, I got your test PM, thanks. I�m having a lot of problems with IE11 and Win 8.1 so I reinstalled it (well, it�s now a �feature� so it�s different). I thought that might be part of the problem, but it shouldn�t be. I also checked via Chrome and my tablet, and the same, allllll gone! Oh well, such is life. Cheers Jayho

For a long time I had issues with my PM. I could send but not receive. In the end it turned out that there was a hidden space behind my user name. (probably hit the space bar before hitting enter when entering my name). It didn �t affect my account, my points or anything but it did mess up my PM for some reason. Any chance something similar happened to you when you re-entered your info after re-installing Win 8.1? I don �t know, just a thought.... |

Thanks Maryse Thanks Marion. I remember your problem. I never log out of this site. And I had closed IE before I reinstalled it. But in Win 8.1 you don�t actually uninstall/reinstall. It�s a �feature� that comes automatically with Win 8.1 and you un-feature it (it is then removed). When I re-featured it all my bookmarks were still there, plus all my problems (groan). I don�t think this issue is related but it was very coincidental. There was actually one PM, a new one, but no way to reply to it. It�s all quite weird really.

Now THIS is weird.
I just added eslprintables to the compatability list in IE11 (because I got that rich text enabled message) and all the PMs came back!
HOWEVER, they didn�t come back in Chrome or on my tablet. Just how weird is that??!!
So, IE11 is my problem. I have been having a lot of problems posting on the forum and in the caf� in IE11. But with Win 8.1, you have to have IE11. You can�t go back to earlier versions.

Well, you have to have it, but you don �t have to use it! :-)) I see you �ve tried Chrome, but what about switching to Firefox ? |

I used FF on my previous pc and I�ve been meaning to install FF on this one for ages, so thanks for mentioning it, Tap. It�s now downloaded and I will start using it (but my previously lost PMs still don�t show in FF, or Chrome or on my tablet - only now in IE11 - so very strange!). Guess what? The emoticons are back! I PM�d Victor about them so he must have fixed it. Thanks heaps, Victor  Cheers Jayho

Happy that you got the emoticons back. We need more happy emotions! :-) But what is that cat �s head doing there? That �s a bit creepy ;-) Now you �re using FF, you could try an add-on for it which emulates IE for selected pages. maybe try IE View: This one looks like it would allow you to view the ESLPrintables PM page in IE view, for example, and any other pages normally: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/ie-view/?src=collection&collection_id=01b06b1e-1f1f-887e-544c-a22f6e2b8af7 Tap |
