Can anyone help me to navigate an easier way to read my messages? I’m trying to find some Postcrossers that I swapped with to let them know their mail arrived and to send them thanks but I have so many messages and responses, I’ve lost their contact! (No Username was written on their mail, just their irl name)
I don’t want to send a bad impression by not being able to reply, any help is appreciated!!!
Is anyone else confused by the chat system or just me? Is it easier to navigate on a computer? (I’m on a mobile website)
Hi Shiar, one of the things I found very useful was to keep a short list of all my swaps, tags etc on my computer or in a notepad. Most folks in the Forum have some kind of tracking system of their own beyond their private messages.
I keep it really simple:
Swap/Tag, Real First Name, ID name, Country, date of trade, what I’m sending & date I sent it - sometimes if it’s a very special swap I add what they’re going to send me too.
For example:
Swap - Susie - susieq-Narnia - Sept 10th - sent Blue Polar bears Sept 13th
And I put 2 ** at the front of the word Swap when I first record it & take one star off, once I’ve actually mailed it so I know I’ve done it.
You can try searching in your mails, I all the time search my mails and go to that specific discussion or chat, and Thank the sender.
I would like if we have only one personal message kind of feature with person like social media, so we can keep track.
But I have no problem with current chat system
From the description it sounds like you are doing it the correct way. So here’s another hint:
sometimes the search doesn’t work, most probably when the site is under high load. In my experience it often works when you hit search again 1 or 2 times.
Just to be sure:
Go to your inbox and use the It will look like this:
I will definitely use your format! Thank you for sharing! You just saved a Postcrosser in need 
It will look like this:
it’s not coming 
but okay like you said might be traffic that is causing it not work properly
