"message poster" has disappeared?

83 replies

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/11/2016 12:35

Just noticed in the bar at the top of posts, there is only 'add message' and 'report'.
I checked a TIO that I posted on last night and it still had 'message poster' too.
Refreshed and it disappeared!
Are we not allowed to PM any more?Sad

I reckon it's purposeful. Smile

Allalonenow · 18/11/2016 13:06

I've lost it too, on iPad Safari.

I'm guessing "working"

Possibly with the miserable attitude of a stuffed donkey in Winne the Pooh.

'eoring' ?

Sorry - you've lost me. Sad

There was a bread strike. That's when my dh started making our own bread

bigTillyMint · 18/11/2016 12:01

I remember that Dutch!

Is anyone eoring on this?!

cozietoesie · 18/11/2016 11:48

Gosh, Dutch. Brown bread must have been a penny a loaf! Grin

Or maybe they are going back to the system where you had to pay for private messages. About £5.00 per year it was when I first joined, back in the mists of time!
Maybe they are being a bit hard up.

I'm using Chrome on a Samsung galaxy. Still no message poster.

cozietoesie · 18/11/2016 11:16

Maybe it's some staffer's 'bright idea' to reduce spam and 'begging posts' ?

FrickOnAStick · 18/11/2016 08:54

Safari, iPad, mobile site.

Dutchoma · 18/11/2016 08:51

Just noticed this too. iPad safari.

SoupDragon · 18/11/2016 06:26

There are people I PM but can't remember their usernames well enough for the system to find them

Aren't their names in your sent messages? I clear out my in box but rarely remember to clear the sent one.

Becca19962014 · 18/11/2016 00:09

I find its almost impossible to PM unless you have a good memory for usernames. There are people I PM but can't remember their usernames well enough for the system to find them.

(It hasn't reappeared for me either)

CotswoldStrife · 18/11/2016 00:09

I noticed this yesterday, I had to block and copy the username instead

Laptop, Firefox, Windows 7.

I can understand if MNHQ want PMing to require a little bit more effort but if that's the case, they should tell us.

It would be useful to know whether this is just a glitch or whether it's purposeful in some way. Smile

FruJustFru · 17/11/2016 17:40

I second BBB, any progress? Or at least an update would be helpful MNHQ.

TrippyMcTrapFace · 17/11/2016 14:41

Mine too.
Both my regular devices are missing the message poster button.

Windows 10, laptop, Firefox .
iPad, ios, Safari.
