ped Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Could be because the other person deleted the convo - the software is a bit weird, it deletes it for everyone if one person deletes it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen 'Deleted' on conversations but this one just disappeared except in 'View all notifications' where I get the error as above in the OP using the word 'banned' unlike other deleted conversations where I get the error below with no word 'banned'.

BassTractor Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) That's easily tested, innit? Just send me a PM, and I'll put you on ignore after reading it and will post back here when that is done.

ped Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm away this week but I can have a closer look when I'm back. Was there something you needed to get from the convo as I can look at inviting myself in and copying over what you require.

Cheers ped [/quote] Thanks Ped, but I don't need anything really as the business was concluded and there was nothing further to be said. However, the disappearance of the conversation and the use of the word 'banned' in the error piqued my interest in whether i had been actively put on 'ignore'. It's no big deal.

EssentialTension Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 It's just occurred to me that when I've been saying 'ignore' perhaps I mean 'block'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Done. I couldn't find a "block" function, but put you on all three types of "ignore" (posts, sigs and PMs) Will look for a block type thingy. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) This is weird. I first read your PM, and then put you on ignore immediately. Some minutes later, your PM was still readable to me. Then, just in case, I logged out of my account and closed and reopened my browser and logged in again. Your PM was still there. There may be delays in the server's handling these requests, but I now think that maybe the Ignore function is about future PMs. We'll see tomorrow then. I'll leave you on ignore until we know more. BTW, I looked again, but didn't didn't find anything resembling "block". best, bert Edited August 21, 2017 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Here is the PM i just sent or tried to send to ET: Hi ET, Yup! I read your last posts in the thread (through "View it anyway") and am now slightly confused as I can't see any "block" on the whole PM page. When I hover over your name or avatar, I get the usual options of viewing your profile, sending your a PM or finding your posts. I can delete the PM thread or report you. and also invite others into the conversation. No block. I'll copy this PM to the thread as I don't know whether you'll see it. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I se your PM but not allowed to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ah! IOW you did not get the "an error occurred" then, right? That is interesting, and maybe exactly the difference between 'ignore' and 'block'. Since I did not get a block option, even if it was you who sent the first PM, maybe this functionality is dependent on platform or browser. I've been on Win 10 and Chrome the whole process but am now checking on several different platforms and browsers. If I don't find anything I'll unignore you and see what then happens. Will report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Bert, I have blocked you in messenger. What happens your end? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Hi Dave, The whole PM thread had vanished. I then unignored you on the "Manage Ignore Prefs" page, and at that point saw that it does indeed use the word "Block" there. After this, the PM thread did not reappear right away, but who knows whether it might reappear after some hours. Right now I'm a bit confused. I'll have me a cup of coffee in some type of vain hope. You have any ideas? Edit: In the mean time, I read on ze innerwebz that sometimes-not-always this happens in the following scenario: ET sends a PM to BT, the server sends a notification mail with a link to BT, ET deletes the PM BT clicks on the mailed link but gets that error message #10275. Now where's my coffee? best, bert Edited August 22, 2017 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nope. I haven't seen that error message at all. First I used the Manage Ignore Prefs page to ignore you (and later discovered that the ignore part for PMs is called "Block"), after which I could still see your PM and also send you a reply to it. When you had blocked me, the PM thread disappeared totally from my PM pages. I then unblocked you, and the PM thread didn't reappear, but I got no form of warning about that a thread existed. My last bit of text was something I read on the net: that this exact error message sometimes occurs when people delete the PM they'd sent - before the recipient had clicked the e-mailed link to that same PM. (E-mail warnings about PMs and quotes can be switched on or off somewhere in your profile IMS.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just send me a PM without deleting it. When I've received the e-mail from the server, I post here in the thread. Then you delete it, and when you've done so and reported that here, I then click on the link in the e-mail. Maybe I get the dreaded message then. I should, coz I've read it on the innerwebz!
