A:M/C - Blocking private messages

[murphys1979]

Below you can set your preferences for your personal messages.

Block Users
If you wish to not receive messages from any particular users, type in their username in the box below. You can enter one username per line. If you wish to block all messages, put a * in the box below.

Does this feature not work? Cuz I put a * in the blocked users box to block all and yet people can still send me PM's as normal?

Also what does A:M/C mean?

A:M/C means Attension Marty or criag - they are staff here putting that in front of your post is required to get them to help you with your problem.
that is if a regular member doesnt know the answer to your questions

You are certain that you typed a * in the box with no spaces before or after it? Did you remove all usernames you may have had before putting in the *?

[murphys1979]

Yeah the box was always empty, I just put a * on it's own with no spaces or anything, right in the top left of the box.

What is supposed to happen when people try and message me do they get a blocked message or their just none the wiser that it didn't go through?

[ĐR]

I believe they will get a message stating something like "this member has blocked Private Messages" or something to that effect. You've still received PMs from members after selecting the * option?

[murphys1979]

Yeah I just put a * in the box and saved it and then I made a 2nd account and PM'd myself to try it out and I recieved it still. I assume it does go by usernames rather than IP addresses though.

[Corrupt]

this is going to be anoying, can i get you to put in a* b* c*.... and so on and see if it requires a bases to get started

[ĐR]

If you've put a * in the box and you're 100% sure of that then you should not receive any PMs. May want to wait and have Craig have a look at this.

[murphys1979]

Ok thanks, in the meantime I'll cut out my global headers/footers and see if it makes a difference. I save them all to notepad anyway, probably a confliction somewhere in there with extra codes I've added over time.

[ĐR]

I can't see how a client side code would affect that. Try keeping it with a * in it and ask one of your members to PM you. If you get the PM we'll know that something may be buggy.

[murphys1979]

They're still coming through I just got a couple. It's on server 3 if that makes a difference, could be a bug on all the forums has anyone else had this problem?

[Craig]

That's in the bugs list. The * doesn't currently work.
