Email private messages..​.

I think it would be really great if we could get our private messages emailed directly to us like we do a post subscription. There have been many a time when I'm away from a normal computer but need to reply to a private message and I'm not able to from my mobile device. And it would be great to receive and reply to these messages directly via email.
Which leads me to my next suggestion....anyway we could make the forums a little more mobile friendly? All the graphics of the big red bar at the top (phones& accessories, plans..etc) makes the site load slow on my device. Maybe there could be a mobile version with limited graphics??

  • Is there any email or private messaging?

    I wanted to contact someone who answered a question of mine here, for a follow-up. Is there any way to send another Apple Discussions user an email or a private message (PM) ?

    Hello Blah,
    The only other alternative you have, besides as ali suggests, is to reply to their post in the thread and hope they will see this in their "My Posts" for a follow up. Most seasoned users of Discussions will check their past posts occasionally and will see it marked as "new" reply to the topic (in their "My Posts) and will see your post.

  • How To Send A Private Message

    A private message is similar to an email. You can send and receive messages from anyone on the Forum without exchanging any personal information.
    To send a Private Message (or PM):
    1. Click on the screen name of the user, you want to contact.
    2. The person’s profile page will open. At the right hand side, under Contact Me options, click on the “Send this user a private message” link.
    3. This will open a window to create the message you want to send. Write an appropriate Message Subject and then write the main message in the Message Body.
    4. Like creating a post, you can change font, color, size of the text and use various other utility buttons to create an appropriate message. When you are finished, click on Send Message.
    Your message is now sent.
    If somebody sends you a message, there will be a blue envelope icon right beside the Log Out link. To check your message box, click on the envelope icon.

  • Changes to Private Messaging Notifications

    Hi All
    After getting feedback from different forum members I have made a change to the Private Messaging (PM) email notifications.  You may not have known, but it is possible to set up an email alert to let you know when you get a private message. 
    Some of the feedback we’ve had since the homepage refresh was that it can be easy to miss the fact you have a PM as they only show on the homepage.  We are working on the design side of things, but in the meantime I have changed the default setting for PM notifications so that it will send an email when you get a PM.  This means that every time you get a PM you will receive an email notification to let you know, so you can log in and check it.
    If you don’t want to receive this notification by email, it’s easy to turn it off. Simply go to the homepage, Log In, click on My Settings, then Preferences, then Private Messenger, then untick the box which says ‘Receive email notifications for new private messages’, and click Save Changes.  This will stop you receiving the email notifications for PMs.  You can follow the same process to turn it back on if you change your mind.
    Why not check out some of the other settings while you’re there!  
    Thx

  • How do I acess a private message?

    I clicked the URL in the email message in the inbox, but a notice came up that I was not authorised to read it.  I  don't understand why I can't access it.   

    Hi Judith,
    I think that you are probably referring to a notification from Adobe Forums about a private message.
    I think you need to be logged in to Adobe Forums on a browser before accessing the URL - it normally asks you to log in.
    Once logged in to the forums, you can access the private messages under Your Stuff (see near the top).

    ps - if you are viewing this in a browser and you are logged in you should see a Reply option just under this line on the right side.

    Hi. I think it's a good improvement to modify the current private message notification. A simple modification can do our life (in special, admins life) much more simple.
    Something like this will be fine, I guess:

  • Need help with Data Model for Private Messaging

    Sad to say, but it looks like I just really screwed up the design of my Private Messaging (PM) module...  *sigh*
    What looked good on paper doesn't seem to be practical in application.
    I am hoping some of you Oracle gurus can help me come up with a better design!!
    Here is my current design...
    member -||-----0<- private_msg_recipient ->0------||- private_msg
    MEMBER table
    - id
    - email
    - username
    - first_name
    PRIVATE_MSG_RECIPIENT table
    - id
    - member_id_to
    - message_id
    - flag
    - created_on
    - updated_on
    - read_on
    - deleted_on
    - purged_on
    PRIVATE_MSG table
    - id
    - member_id_from
    - subject
    - body
    - flag
    - sent_on
    - updated_on
    - sender_deleted_on
    - sender_purged_on
    ***Short explanation of how the application currently works...
    - Sender creates a PM and sends it to a Recipient.
    - The PM appears in the Sender's "Sent" folder in my website
    - The PM also appears in the Recipient's "Incoming" folder.
    - If the Recipient deletes the PM, I set "deleted_on" and my code moves the PM from Recipient's "Inbox" to the "Trash" folder.  (Record doesn't actually move!)
    - If the Recipient "permanently deletes" the PM from his/her "Trash", I set "purged_on" and my code removes the PM from the Recipient's Message Center.  (Record still in database!)
    - If the Sender deletes the PM, I set "sender_deleted_on" and my code moves the PM from the Sender's "Sent" folder to the "Trash" folder.  (Record doesn't actually move!)
    - If the Recipient "permanently deletes" the PM from his/her "Trash", I set "sender_purged_on" and my code removes the PM from the Sender's Message Center.  (Record still in database!)
    Here are my problems...
    1.) I can't store PM's forever.
    2.) Because of my design, the Sender really owns the PM, and if I add code to REMOVE the PM from the database once it has a "sender_purged_on" value, then that would in essence remove the PM from the Recipient's Inbox as well!!
    In order to remove a PM from the database, I would have to make sure that *both* the Recipient has "purged_on" value and the Sender has a "sender_purged_on" value.  (Lot's of Application Logic for something which should be simple?!)
    I am wondering if I need to change my Data Model to something that allows my autonomy when it comes to the Sender and/or the Recipient deleting the PM for good...
    One the other hand, I believe I did a good job or normalizing the data.  And my current Data Model is the most efficient when it comes to saving storage space and not having dups.
    Maybe I do indeed just need need to write application logic - or a cron job - which checks to make sure that *both* the Sender an Recipient have deleted the PM before it actually flushes it out of my database to free up space?!
    Of course, if one party sits on their PM's forever, then I can never clear things out of my database to free up space...
    What should I do??
    Some expert advice would be welcome!!
    Sincerely,
    Debbie

    rp0428,
    I think I am starting to see my evil ways and where I went wrong... 
    > Unfortunately his design is just as denormalized as yours
    I see that now.  My bad!!
    > the last two columns have NOTHING to do with the message itself so do NOT belong in a normalized table.
    > And his design:
    >
    > Same comment - those last two columns also have NOTHING to do with the message itself.
    Right.
    > The message table should just have columns directly related to the message. It is a list of unique messages: no more, no less.
    Right.
    > Mark gave you hints to the proper normalized design using an INTERSECT table.
    > that table might list: sender, recipient, sender_delete_flag, recipient_delete_flag.
    > As mark suggested you could also have one or two DATEs related to when the delete flags were set. I would just make the columns DATE fields.
    >
    > Once both date columns have a value you can delete the message (or delete all messages older than 30+ days).
    >
    > When both flags are set you can delete the message itself that references the sender and the message sent.
    Okay, how does this revised design look...
    MEMBER --||-----0<-- PM_DISTRIBUTION -->0-------||-- PRIVATE_MSG
    MEMBER table
    - id
    - email
    - username
    - first_name
    and so on...
    PM_DISTRIBUTION table (Maybe you can think of a better name??)
    - id
    - private_msg_id
    - sender_id
    - recipient_id
    - sender_flag
    - sender_deleted_on
    - sender_purged_on
    - recipient_flag
    - recipient_read_on
    - recipient_deleted_on
    - recipient_purged_on
    PRIVATE_MSG
    - id
    - subject
    - body
    - sent_on
    Is that what you were describing to me?
    Quickly reflecting on this new design...
    1.) It should now be in 3rd Normal Form, right?
    2.) It should allow the Sender and Recipient to freely and independently "delete" or "purge" a PM with no impact on the other party, right?
    Here are a few Potential Issues that I see, though...
    a.) What is to stop there from being TWO SENDERS of a PM?
    In retrospect, that is why I originally stuck "member_id_from" in the PRIVATE_MSG table!!  The logic being, that a PM only ever has *one* Sender.
    I guess I would have to add either Application Logic, or Database Logic, or both to ensure that a given PM never has more than one Sender, right?
    b.) If the design above is what you were hinting at, and if it is thus "correct", then is there any conflict with my Business Rule: "Any given User shall only be allowed 100 Messages between his/her Incoming, Sent and Trash folders."
    Because the Sender is no longer "tightly bound" to the PRIVATE_MSG, in my scenario above...
    Debbie could send 100 PM's, hit her quota, then turn around and delete and purge all 100 Sent PM's and that should in no way impact the 100 PM's sitting in other Users' Inboxes, right??
    I think this works like I want...
    Sincerely,
    Debbie

  • Sending a private message

    How can I send a private message to someone on this forum - a message to him/her not shown on the forum - like on other bulletin boards, usually via the webmaster?

    I have to agree with Steve here.
    I've never run across a tech forum where one could not send PMs to other members.
    Sometimes one gets to working on a specific problem one has and it simplifies things, and helps not to encumber the board with long threads/posts that are, perhaps, not a problem that affects a lot of people.
    It's not about email. I have my email hidden (least I hope so!). I give out my cable modem box's address only very selectively.
    It's also nice to send a thank to someone who solved your.
    I don't see why courtesy should be excluded from any Forum--whether the forum's raison d'etre is technical or social. The vast majority of fora are a mixture of the two. Or, imo, they should be.
    This forum, in particular, has somewhat well-deserved rep for non-responsiveness to iPod newbie questions. The first thread I put up didn't receive an answer for months. I haven't checked it again, but I'd be surprised if an answer was ever posted. A helpful answer that is.
    I've made some good 'Net friends thru the fora.
    So, let's take the ties off, make friends, solve our problems and teach each other the little tricks that programmers love to sneak into software (for you corporate types, and those of you in Rio Linda, that's kind of like "networking" but without the ulterior motive).
    I'm no newbie, but I'm no programmer or engineer either. I know my limits.
    Computer users, esp those who use Windows, often have strange issues unlike the divine Mac. (I don't have a problem with Macs. If I had the cash, I'd have a Mac laptop or desktop, or both if I really had the money.
    I was using Macs before a lot of people with iPods were even born, starting with a hard driveless MacPlus--nine in B/W screen with MacWrite for the H.S. newspaper--in 1986, but I HATE those commericals!)
    OK! Enough of this! I'm off to buy an 80GB Video iPod.<

  • Private messaging?

    Is there a way to send a private message to another user here?
    I don't see one, though it's unusual for that to not be available these days on message boards.
    Assuming PM isn't implemented here, I suggest that it be added. Among other things, it's also preferable as a way to thank people for their replies, etc. -- i.e., rather than cluttering up the forums with those acknowledgments.

    As of now there is no way to do that, but some members - like myself - have their email addresses in their profiles. Clicking on the Apple ID gets you to the profile and if there is an addy listed, it will be there.

  • Private Messaging system?

    There have been other threads like this, but none that definitively answered the question.
    Would it be possible to add a private messaging system to this forum, for things like this thread? It seems to me that there should be a way for users to interact with each other outside of threads, since threads are more for technical support than conversation like that.
    Private messages would also allow users to take qualms they have about a poster's posting style to them, to avoid publicly calling them out, and potentially embarrassing them.
    This could probably be more clearly written, but I think you get the point.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    As I recall this was raised here a while back with very little support for the idea from other posters; I think several were quite negative. As Niel has said there is the facility for members to give an email in their profile if they are willing to be contacted by other members.
    Yes, but e-mail addresses are likely to be used for many things, while PMs would only be used for this forum. What that means for me is that I would be willing to receive a PM, but NOT to give my e-mail address out, since spambots would harvest that.
    Another consideration is that these are intended as forums where users can describe their problems and get answers from others, doing this in public can help and educate people other than the OP. PMs could reduce that where discussions of problems are not being made public.
    Right, but then we can just not respond to issues in PMs, and instead ask those who try to do that to post in a public place.
    PMs can get used for purely personal rather than Mac related messages.
    Exactly. That was the point of my post. If you read the thread I linked to, you'll see that personal conversations still happen, even without PMs. PMs would allow threads to remain solely technical, while also allowing for side conversations, or criticisms of poster's styles of answering, without having to publicly call them out on it.
    Apple may reasonably feel they are not here to provide a general messaging facility for the public.
    That's true, but it would only be for members of this forum, would probably not take up much extra bandwidth, and would have all of the benefits I listed above.

  • HT4059 How do I attach a PDF file from iBooks to a private message on Facebook?

    I am trying to send an attachment PDF via private message on FB and when I press attach file on the message only my iPhoto shows up with no option to retrieve the PDF that is currently in my iBooks .

    From within the iOS mail app, the only files you have access to for attachment purposes are those located in the Photos app. The Gmail app I cannot respond to. To send a file in Dropbox, you will need to start in Dropbox and use the File function (box with an arrow).
    If this is something you need to accomplish on a regular basis, you might wish to consider an alternate email app. Mailbox can handle attachments from Dropbox (but is limited to Gmail and iCloud mail). there may well be others that will handles this.
