"Confirm private message option"

[Guardian]

Not so sure of the benefit from choosing this option?

When receiving a pm one can choose to cancel the confirmation, hence the messenger is under false pretense the message was never opened. So what’s the point? I believe the message being sent should ALWAYS give the person who sent the message a confirmation if pm was opened. Can this be done???
Thx

LOL jj, yes I know just registered, but have been on the side for a while.

As a new to you, but not new to some, I have been in contact with a few vp’s and have visited with “a couple” habitually that shared mutual interest. It is to “those” none-confirmed messages that is most disquieting.

The confirm pm option only gives one cover for not responding. I have more respect for ones that confirms open pm and do not answer, than one that hides behind this option.
Thx for axin!

The PM system sends a copy to the members email address, most read them from there and never open the PM ON THIS SITE, GIVING YOU THE FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THEY DID NOT READ IT.

I never confirm the receipt of a PM, and unless i forget to un-check the box requesting a confirmation receipt, i never request one from the people i'm sending a message to. Anyone can assume their message to me was read, but frankly, i don't think it's any of their business as to when i read it. Nor do i think it's any of my business as to when they read my message. Nevertheless...

In the box at the top of your messages, you'll see something that says "You have X confirmed and Y unconfirmed private message receipts". Click on that and i believe you'll have your answer as to when your message was read.

Edit: I stand corrected. I took a closer look and the long list of read information i have is all old stuff. Nothing recent. So i was wrong about the system providing the information with or without a read receipt. Apparently it used to provide it, but no longer does.

I only get an email notice that I have a PM, never the actual PM.

I find confirmation requests anal and annoying, I don't work for anyone here. I don't send them, it's picayune. If I PM a lady, she's going to have to reply to get the business, whether she reads it or not.

JC..I to find receiving the confirmation request popup annoying as well. When pm’g a fellow comrade, I uncheck confirmation, because it’s usually no matter of importance to when and if HE opens or chooses not to respond. True, you/me, we don’t work for anyone here, but in a since VP's do. This question was directed more so to VP see post #3.


Dv..When requesting or aligning time frames with visitations it can be a necessity to know, if she did or didn’t open pm (does make it my business). If I would have known she opened it, but cared not to respond for whatever reason, so be it, I would have moved on. Thank you for looking into the system providing the information with or without a read receipts.


Because of the pm design and knowing that nothing will be done for such a trivial beef, I’m writing it off as a known.
Thank you for responding, you all have given me some insight.
