cisono Posted 8 September 2005 Posted 8 September 2005 Just found out about a useful foxestalk feature... Situation ====== - No one is messaging you, or - You would like to find an inbox full of messages (and this is not happening) Solution ===== You could always message yourself. Just send a message selecting yourself as the addressee and... there you go! You have a message in your inbox Just tested and it works. [Not that I need to apply this technique myself I guess I am just bored!!!] Question ====== Was this intended behaviour or just an oversight when setting up the system?!?!

Hitesh Posted 8 September 2005 Posted 8 September 2005 Bloody Hell!!!! Exactly! And they have a whole thread about me saying i dont have a social life! I think Cisono needs a whole forum to herself!
cisono Posted 8 September 2005 Author Posted 8 September 2005 Exactly! And they have a whole thread about me saying i dont have a social life! I think Cisono needs a whole forum to herself! Hmm if you really need to know: I am doing research into online discussions... and system features, so I found that one a bit odd!
cisono Posted 8 September 2005 Author Posted 8 September 2005 Intended for sad, lonely bored posters. Glad you found it useful makes it all worth while. I didn't find it useful at all, actually, hence my question
Katy Posted 8 September 2005 Posted 8 September 2005 Hmm if you really need to know: I am doing research into online discussions... and system features, so I found that one a bit odd! Ahh so it was you printing off a topic earlier
cisono Posted 9 September 2005 Author Posted 9 September 2005 Ahh so it was you printing off a topic earlier Nope
cisono Posted 9 September 2005 Author Posted 9 September 2005 Exactly! And they have a whole thread about me saying i dont have a social life! ... Are you trying to divert attention from the fact that you wanted to print off a whole topic earlier?
rossporterlc Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 cisono has a social life, i know this information for a fact, as does Hitesh, you heard it here first
leicesterChick Posted 9 September 2005 Posted 9 September 2005 You definitely need to fid yourself a hobby. It was probably done on purpose, so lonely, bored people (such as you) could find that feature. Now, how did you come up with the idea to try messenging yourself???
cisono Posted 9 September 2005 Author Posted 9 September 2005 Gosh, I guess my type of humour simply escapes you!!!
Katy Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Ahh so it was you printing off a topic earlier Nope Gosh, I guess my type of humour simply escapes you!!! And in addition, mine you
cisono Posted 10 September 2005 Author Posted 10 September 2005 And in addition, mine you Ah, but I wasn't referring to you there!!!
Katy Posted 10 September 2005 Posted 10 September 2005 Ah, but I wasn't referring to you there!!! I KNOW

Collymore Posted 11 September 2005 Posted 11 September 2005 did you know if you sent an email to your self with a title like say "football results" you will receive it a lot quicker than if you put a header like assination etc true
Steven Posted 11 September 2005 Posted 11 September 2005 I am confused as to the whole premise of this thread in that sending oneself a Private Message is unwanted system behaviour. I would like someone to discharge the assumption for me that it is unwanted system behaviour. Moreover I can see scenarios in which it might well be wanted system behaviour.
