The PM-function - reciepts?
I always click cancel on them, unless somebody that has sent me a note apparantly has requested a receipt in which case I click okay. I assume that that means that the person recieving my pm doesn't have to click on a flag okaying sending me a receipt. (?)
What good use about that am I missing? Not annoying really, but seems a bit redundant. But that's from the ignorant point of view, obviously! LOL!

I guess recipts are nice if you want to check to see if the person who you sent the PM to actually ever clicked on it and read it, but this seems sort of pointless given that VB includes a "deny recipt" link that you can click when reading a PM.

the old system with no read receipts, where you could always check if someone had read your PM or not, and there was no way to block that, worked much better and was less hassle (more invisible).

I don't understand what the receipts are for? Spying on people you send pms to? Maybe not a case of Big Brother but Little Sister.
So I agree with you emma, redundant, but I'd like to add evil and invasive hehe Also, is there a way to deny receipt then send one later?

I would like to know why I have one unread private PM and when I click the folder it says no unread messages. I've deleted a lot lately, that has nothing to do with it, has it?
In short: how do I read that one unread message in my folder.

Yeah, I had that too. It's a little hick-up due to the server transfer. I got the 'mysterious unread message' when I checked my PMs an hour or-so later.

Hm, I still can't read it. I can't even say when it has been sent - all I can say, if somebody is waiting for a reply from me, please send the message again or wait until my PM-box has recovered from the hick-up. Thanks.
