Private Messages Problem
« on: October 10, 2013, 02:22:20 PM »
Hi mods.   For a long time now, something, presumably site upgrades, have made me unable to send private messages... or occasionally, I can send one only before the window goes tilt, and shuts itself down.  I'd gotten used to the problem clearing up whenever a holiday format was adopted for this site.   This time though, the same thing happens with the Halloween version.

This has been a great, big crowbar stuck into my ability to socialize personally on DS Forums, and get to know people here better.   If at all possible, I need to get help fixing this problem.  It probably isn't possible without an upgrade to my computer that I can't do, because it's too old, and getting new equipment is just out of the question, money-wise.

Maybe though, Benefactissimo, Midnite, dom, or others may have a genius idea as to how to get around this problem with my existing computing equipment.   Please help if you can, it would be much appreciated...

And make it snappy! I haven't talked to this boy in ages.
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

The problem in the past has been your outdated browser. And are you still using Windows 98? If so, there's nothing we can suggest because, unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the current set of updated browsers won't work with Win98. [ghost_sad]

What I figured... Janet you have my e-mail address right?  With my eye thing, going back through all old e-mails for yours would be a daunting thing.
