Is there any way to tell if your PM has been read?

On some other boards, you can check to see if your PM was read, but I can't figure out how to do this on this board. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Other boards using vbulletin allow you to request a read receipt when you send the PM. I don't know (because I haven't sent any here) if that feature is turned on here or not.

If it is, when you hit 'send' you'll get a pop-up asking you if you want a read receipt. You hit 'ok' to request the receipt or 'cancel' to not request a read receipt. If you didn't get that pop-up window when you sent it, then it's probably not enabled here.

I always get the "read receipt" message and I do click yes, but I'm not even sure what a "read receipt" is supposed to look like. Is it another PM sitting in my box?

On Disboards, I can go into "sent pms" and see if something was read and when. I guess that's what I was talking about...but I'm curious to know how to find the read receipts since I have clicked "yes" the few times I've sent PMs here so far.

The best way to find out is tor try it. I sent Sharon a private message and requested a receipt. I asked her to send a message back doing the same thing. We'll report the results on this thread.

Reporting from this end.

As soon as I logged back on to the TUG site, I got a textbox window telling me that my message had been read. After I clicked "okay" I then got another text box window telling me that I had a private message and asked if I wanted to read it in a new window. I clicked "Yes," but then was told that the message could not be read -- that the problem might be that it is being blocked by a popup blocker. (Probably true.) I could read the message by clicking the "Private Messages" link found on the upper right hand corner of the screen.

In short, it appears to be a no brainer.

Okay, so I don't get anything that pops up telling me that my message has been read.

However, I do get a pop-up that tells me when I have a new message.

Interesting....I wonder if I somehow need to enable the "receipt" mode.

Click on User CP (User Control Panel). On that page, in the left column, click Track Messages. It will tell you the date and time the recipient read the message.
