Is there a way to send private messages in the workings of the new format? All of what used to be private messages now seem to be identified as "Profile Posts." Are these private or can anyone see them?

Look for "Start Conversation" in your profile. The name change doesn't suggest it but that's the same now as PM's were. HTH

 

[lily cd re]

Thanks I see that option now I guess profile posts are what were called visitor messages in the old forum format. Still things to get used to...

Hey! Ya! Now that you mention it, I lost all my friends! Boooo....

'Course, that was back in the days when I had friends.

Look for accounts you "Follow" for this. This is a link to the page: https://www.poodleforum.com/account/following
You can get to it by clicking the square in the top right of the page with your avatar inside. Then click "alerts", look to the left for "following". You can add users to this as you go along by clicking their name in a post to open their ID card then look for the follow link. Alerts will pop up when they post or start threads.

How do you delete old conversations?

 

[EVpoodle]

We are not getting messages when we get a PM also by the way it is very annoying.

It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right Oh and remember to look for "conversation message" since that's what TPTB have decided PM's are to be called. "Content" more or less = post or thread, depending on whether you're the OP or Replying. HTH
Click Avatar Icon> Click Account Settings> Click Preferences

then figure out what is meant by the many selections and Voilá!

Annnd why is there an option for "Adult" content on Poodle Forum?!?

 

[EVpoodle]

Yeah I was wondering that to, this is a forum about poodles after all.

How do you delete old conversations?

There should be a "Leave Conversation" button, let me know if that does what you're looking for.

I see the leave conversation, it does remove it from your list of conversation and gives you an option to resurrect it if you get a reply later on or to block the reply. What happened to just delete and make it gone forever. It seems to me that it remains clutter somewhere? But I can work with this.

 

[poodleadm]

If both/all members leave the conversation it is gone forever. Otherwise the system still keeps it.

Thanks

Please give us exact instructions as to how to have a private conversation with someone, that no one else can see.

Also, how do I access previous private messages?

Getting very nervous and anxious about this new program.

 

[Mufar42]

I just go to my avatar in the far right top next to the 3 dots and click on conversation. I'll try it now for you and you she be able to go there and see it.

 

[kontiki]

Oh my! The mysterious 3 dot thingy! But 'my' 3 dots does not have the conversation option....

 

[Rose n Poos]

Hi,
Click on your avatar icon. That opens the pop up box list. Click Conversations. That takes you to the next screen where you click Start Conversation. VS assures us that no one can read these private conversations unless a member "Report"s it. "Report" would send a copy to the admin. That was apparently true in the previous software also.

 

[kontiki]

Thank you! I just tried it and it worked! But when I get there the conversations look just like they do on the regular forum to me. It used to be so easy for me to tell when it was private.

 

[Rose n Poos]

You're welcome! and, I hear ya. This transition was handled very poorly by VS.

I used to PM... not so much any more. Back in the bad ol' days there was vicious backstabbing in PMs. These days I keep my thoughts right out in the open.
