How Do I Receive E-Mail?Check for new messages. When new mail arrives, you will hear a sound, get a message and/or see a little envelope in your system tray. Most people read all of their mail offline. This saves connection time. Once you have read a message, your e-mail program will give you choices for handling the message. You can read and close the message, or you can choose to print the mess...
How do I reply to a post?When you send a message put the subject in the subject line, so people will know what your message will refer to. Some people may not want to read a message about your vet visit or what you are naming your bird and can just delete the message without having to open it. Some people get 200+ messages a day, (they are subscribed to 8 or 9 mailing lists) and only have time to ...
How do I know if someone has read my message?Use our "Read Receipt" feature on the Send Message page. This sends an email alert to the person but not your message itself, thereby forcing them to visit the site to read your message. Once they do this you'll see a tick next to the message on your 'Messages Received' Page. You should also be sent an email telling you of this. Of course not sending a copy of your message...
Where can I get additional help if I have problems using this site?Choose your subject heading carefully. Ten times as many people will read your subject line as will read your message. Think the message through carefully before you post it. Having just one message in a given thread reflects much better on you than if you need multiple posts to explain one idea. Do not post the same message multiple times, either on the same message board...
How do I post a message?A "thread" is a message followed by all the replies to that message. When you start a new thread, you are opening a new topic for people to read and respond to. Go to the forum which best suits the topic of your message. Click the New Thread button. Enter your username, message title and the content of your message. Don't worry about any of the advanced options at this sta...
What's with away messages and pre-IM messages?The Pre-IM message is displayed as a part of the form people use when they send you a message. Presumeably they will read it immediately before contacting you. The Away message (which is not very well named), is displayed as a part of the "message sent" dialog, so people will see it immediately after sending you a message. You can use any HTML you'd like in either message,...
Why didn't I receive a read receipt after I sent a message that requested one in Microsoft Outlook?You might not receive a read receipt for several reasons. When you send a message in Outlook that requests a read receipt, the message recipient can decide whether to confirm receipt of the message; if the recipient chooses No, you won't receive a read receipt. If the recipient used a preview pane to read the message, then deleted the message without actually opening it, t...

How do I read my e-mail messages?To read your e-mail messages, click on the subject line of the message you wish to read. From there, you can reply to the message, forward the message along to other friends or just delete the message using the menu bar on top of the page.
What's the difference between the Outbox and the Sentbox?Once you send (submit) your private message it will be stored in your Outbox. When the person you sent the private message to has read the message, it will be automatically moved to your Sentbox. This way you can see if the private message you sent has been read or not. You can even prevent an already sent message from being read by deleting it, as long as it's still in yo... |
