WTF is the "Conversations" button?

fredintoon · Nov 27, 2016

Title sez it all. Where is it? I wanted to review a conversation I'd had with a fellow list member.
The only way I could find any of my conversations was to wait until someone started one with me.
There gotta be a better way, eh?

Hi WER,
great! So I have an inbox, eh? I've never noticed it. Now HTF do I find the effin' thing?

Upper right hand corner of your screen in the black stripe (at least on my computer) - the Inbox is the second item from the right.

Hi Pete,
and so it is on my screen, too. All the way up there in the corner on a black field in tiny little white lettering.
I must admit that when an inbox button didn't pop up with all the rest when I clicked the forums button I stopped looking and started whining.
Thanks for the help.

Yup...and I must admit that I find the "style" of this forum (I mean the screen layout and functionality) to be less intuitive than others I am on.

Oh well, the info is great and the folks are fun.

PS - did your favourite team win the Grey Cup today Fred?

Hi Pete,
Thing is, my son must have gotten his bootleg sports channel link working so he didn't call by to watch the Grey Cup game on our TV and alas, I forgot that the game was on so no, I dunno who won and it don't matter to me who it was anyway because it certainly weren't the 'Riders.

Tiny white letters? It should be the same size as the Forums button you're clicking on. You can also click on someone's avatar picture in a thread and click 'Start a Conversation'.

Hi Travis,
you are correct. The Inbox text is not only the same size as the forums text, there's an outline drawing of an envelope right next to it.
But it's the wrong colour and it ain't placed where I thought to look for it, OK?
Although now that helpful folks have told me where it's hiding I can surely find it again.
And while I can click on someone's avatar to continue a conversation that don't help if I can't remember who I was conversing with.
