Title: poll: how often do you check your personal messages here?
Post by: franksolich on March 18, 2010, 10:31:32 AM
Well, the poll speaks for itself.

I clicked Not Sure, as I try to remember to look up at the top of the screen to see if I have a message, but I rarely get any, so I become apathetic towards checking it. 

I get an email update when I have one, and that usually alerts me.

Riight; there is a feature here that alerts one that one has gotten a personal message.

Go to one's profile.

On the left hand side, it says "personal message options."

One then checks "show a pop-up when you receive new message?"

This way, every time one gets a new message, a harmless, utterly innocuous pop-up pops up, telling one.

I'm shocked when I see a message pop up.  I always assume it's a mistake.   :-)

Mine all go to e-mail, so I usually see the message before I can get to the site.

I check mine whenever I see I have one up at the top of the screen when I log in.

I just wish the menu where new messages are shown was on the left hand side.

"        Home       Help   Search   Profile   My Messages   Calendar   Members   Logout   "

Have an alert sent to your email address..then you don't have to worry if you see it here.

Well, the deal is, people have varying e-mail habits.

Me, I have this clarebootheluce@gmail.com account, where messages from here are routed there, but I check with clare only every fourth or fifth day, hoping to see an angry primitive has left a message.

It's not worth checking with clare every day, much less several times a day.

Mine are sent to my main email address, and as long as I'm signed in, it triggers a little pop-up on my screen.

'm not sure which email I used to sign up here.  At one time I had over a dozen email accounts, used to sign up for sites that required registration, like newspapers, etc.

From you? I thought the earthquake knocked out the power grid. All potable water was contaminated and the only food source was that white lard stuff they eat. Oh and you needed a relief fund.
