I have a suggestion let see if you agree.

When members of our forum sends a PM to another member
The receiver (if correct box is checked/ticked) will get notified with an email.

Often I find that the PM receiver just answer the email notification cause it contains the full message. They just don't understand that they should login and answer the pm.
The answer goes to the email address that the admin (me) is using so I end up with these replies and feel I must sent another notification and explain what has happened.

Hi,

You sent this email to wrong receiver which is forum@britbike.com.
You answered an email notification that you have received a PM (private message) on BritBike forum that was sent out as a reminder. You need to login and open up the PM and then answer the PM so that the right sender can receive your reply.

Ride safe

My suggestion is that the email notification contains ONLY info that the receiver have received a PM and should login and read the PM.


Doing that the sender can see that the receiver has opened/read the PM. As it is now the receiver can just read the email and the sender have no clue that the receiver has read it.

Does it make any sence. I hope so and in the future I would not be able to read the replies that are not obviasly for me to read.

thanks for your attention.
