I can't find my personal messages on this new server. The link in "My Stuff" to "My Messages" shows all of the posts I've ever made instead of the messages.

Does anybody know the scoop?

I don't claim to know "the scoop", but I do know that the "My Messages" look just like forum posts, so at first glance they may appear to be your public posts, but did you click on them and check? Do they have a "Participants" line at the bottom of the subject listing? The individual private messages look exactly like regular posts, which confused me a bit at first. If that's not it, maybe Jackie knows! :0)

Good grief, I think you're right twosleepy. The threads were all identified to my name, so I thought they were my posts, but I just clicked on one and found it is the whole message thread.

I thought it was a regular thread, but I've read a few an it is the back and forth between me and the person I was messaging with.

The old way, the messages were identified by who sent them to me.

Ah well. Adapt we will, eh.

Salut
