Direct Message Shortcut Not Working

I have a direct message shortcut on my homescreen for a single contact, except that it doesnt work. When I go to send a message to that person, it doesnt open the message screen for them... it opens whatever message screen was opened last, regardless of what/who it was and what I do to the phone (IE: remove shortcuts and add them back; restart phone; remove shortcuts and restart then add them back; shut phone off entirely for several minutes - this temporarily fixes it when it comes back on, but soon as I open another message its back to opening whatever it wants).
Sometimes I can get it to stop and do what its suppose to, but it keeps going back to this behavior and right now I cant get it to stop no matter what I do.
Does any one know how to fix this? Help please!

....Not even remotely as that has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm asking for help with.
I have a "messages" icon on my homescreen and thats great for messaging other people... but what I am saying is I have a Direct Message/text/SMS link to one specific contact sitting on my homescreen as well since this particular person is the person I typically text the most... thus its convenient and (usually) far less time consuming to click on their Direct Message icon to text them rather than Messages and then try to sift through my texts to find that one person.
What I am asking help for is sometimes when I click on the icon to directly message this specific contact, it will open up Messages or whatever text I was looking at previously rather than jumping straight to this specific contact's texts like its suppose to. I want to know how to make it stop going where every the heck it wants to and open the text window for that specific contact like its SUPPOSE to. Everything I can think of to troubleshoot this has not fixed it.
If you are unfamiliar with this, open up Personalize then click Shortcut... you should see Direct Dial and then Direct Message, clicking either one of these allows you to select a contact that you can directly contact without having to go through a bunch of different steps - Direct Message is what I am talking about.
Also, as an unrelated side note... I just tried to do what you suggested - open People then a specific contact. There is no "new message" option, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

E75 messaging application not working

Hi,
I have recently purchased an E75 and at first glance it looks to be very nice. However, now i have run into the problem that messaging is not working properly. The message indicator is telling me that I have 6 new messages. When I try to go menu>>messages the application tries to open but immediately crashes. Also when I try to open the messages directly by clicking on them from the message indicator the same behavior seems to happen.
Has anybody experienced the same? How do I get rid of these messages if I can't open them?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I've had similar problems with my E75.
I've found that Nokia Messaging simply gets confused & over-loaded, and gives up.
Try accessing you email account from your computer.
Then, delete all of your messages from your inbox & sent folders.
Basically, purge as much as possible.
Then try accessing it from your E75.
This usually works for me.

My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.

My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

CMD+ shortcuts not working in Dreamweaver CS3

I'm have a very strange issue with CMD+ keyboard shortcuts
not working in Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX 10.5. These actions are
working from the menus (i.e., copy, cut, paste, etc.). CMD+
shortcuts work in other CS3 apps. I've searched this forum and
googled up and down and found some references to issues like this
with Dreamweaver 8, but nothing for CS3.
Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm completely stumped.

My concern wasn't with the navbar, but thanks for the headsup.
The problem is that the link in the upper left hand corner, Suzie's Story, is a rollover image but it does not reveal the other image when the cursor goes over it.

PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working -- Running 10.6.7 on a Mac Pro. Any suggestions?
I've tried restarting, changing key combinations, etc. Nothing works and I'm wasting time using my mouse...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem too but using Windows 7. I tried resetting, renaming the shortcuts, swearing loudly, none of it worked. I found out it was a totally unrelated program, Xfinity Protection Suite, that was the culprit. My virus protection program added it as an 'upgrade.' AFter I uninstalled it everything was back to normal. Have you installed anything new onto your computer lately that could be interfering?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.

To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Hi Beharley,
try resetting your network settings: Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings. This works fine if something is messed up with your carrier bundle.

Safari 5.1 customized keyboard shortcut not working

Fetch new mail messages does not work

On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
Settings:
- Fetch new messages: every minute
- Play sound Purr
I need to us the manual button.
On my imac it works fine with the same accounts

My mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!
