Yes, like you will be deleting PM's much more promptly.

I take it you didn't mean to send me a blank PM then?

Remember, all this is just users doing what they can to minimise their own risk. As an admin there's far more options - you could HTTPs stuff and combine it with logging/anomaly detection/a full-blooded SIEM.

Also, remember when sending things to remind the recipient to "read and eat". It's no good it disappearing from your sent items to spend a long vacation in someone's Inbox

A blank PM :eek:
Only I would manage that!
I still have PM's in my box from kissjenn, taxi & others sadly no longer here. That's ok though.

I download many pms, beanie - there's an option to do it, right there at the bottom of the list.

MSE have previously lost usernames & passwords before (and sat on it for many months) and if GallyGirl suddenly sends you a PM offering you tablets which will give you a "long schlong fresh from Hong Kong, only 20 Dong" - you can safely ignore it and delete.

Well thanks for ruining my business plan :mad:.

PS - did it work :rotfl:?

And ... as well as the wonderful sunshine, I have to note on here that ever since my conversation with Three, when they promised to send a credit note against the Amazon voucher they failed to send me, and another £20 in compensation for messing me about so much, they seem to have cut me off - my phone is linked to both my house wifi, and to the mobile data service. I can use the internet on it, but I can't get/send messages or phone calls. Not acceptable. So as soon as I've had a snack (I got up early, thats my excuse) I have to ring them I'm really, really not looking forward to it.

Karmcat~~POsitive vibes for the phone call.
Technology is only good when it works sadly.
Sometimes I love it & sometimes I hate it.

Thank you both, much appreciated :kisses3:

45 minutes later, I'm off the phone, and its kind of working.
"Please take the sim out."
"No!"
"Okay, restart the phone".
"Okay .... doesn't work."
"Fiddling about, don't go away."
....... cue very loud hold music ....
"I'm getting all the texts that didn't arrive for the last 3 days, looks like its working, though there's no actual signal bars showing."
"Here's a free app for making sure your phone calls and texts can happen even when you don't have a mobile signal, by hopping on to your wifi".
"So what was it?"
"The restart was the key"
"No it wasn't ... you did something else after the restart."

I gave up at that point, the poor guy probably deals with 100 calls a shift. Does it worry anyone else that Three are giving out a free app, at Google Play, so people can use wifi for calls and texts when their mobile signal dies?

Anyway, I'm done with the computer and the mobile, for the rest of the day. Thank heavens I had this space to keep myself sane!
