Not saying thank you for PMs

bridiej

there have been two or three instances where someone has asked for help and I've spent ages typing out a long PM to them to assist but they havent bothered to say "Thanks"


Is it so hard to just type a quick reply? :mad:

I agree that it is disappointing but perhaps they do not know how to reply to you or else it has been lost in the recent shuffle.

Thank you from me just for generally being helpful.

Know just what you mean bridiej....saying thanks seems to be a lost art these days!


Mind you...when you do on here (sometimes:( ) you get told off anyway :mad:

Nice one Alexie

I don't wish to sound rude but, surely, if it's a response to a question on the boards and it takes a goodly long answer, wouldn't you simply be better off putting it as a reply to the thread instead of a PM? That way, others would benefit from your sage advice

But yes, I do think that if they have fathomed out the PM system then they should have the common courtesy of saying thank you and letting you know your time, effort and thoughtfulness towards them is appreciated.

I do get loads of pm's from people advising about posts to be moved on certain boards, and i cant reply to them all, i try to i really do and i do read every single one of them, but sometimes just cant reply to them all.

But personal ones i reply every time, it may take me a while but i do reply so sorry bridie if it was me hun

The thing is some of it was sensitive information that I didnt want to post for all and sundry to read.


No Div, not you hun

I count thanks as a bonus, and don't go looking or expecting one.

Though to tell you the truth, I'm the type who finds being thanked embarrasing ?

Bridie - are you sure they received them or you might not have received a PM back, i was having bother with the old site in the last few weeks when i typed a reply and it didn't post. This happened to me on threads not sure about PMs so sorry if it was me.
