Tried to send you a PM, @Bille Not sure if I did it correctly at this point.
This is a very simple question - but I can’t seem to find the answer on my own. How do I bookmatk a topic? I tried a few things, including searching for it, but can’t figure it out!
Thanks in advance!
Hope this helps
Perfect! I just did it. I don’t know how I missed it!
Thank you so much!
Hi, I would like to ask a question about this
If this is checked, I presume no one can send me a PM, yes?
Can I send people messages then?
What if they were already in a previous PM with me? Would this setting affect them from sending me a second message (in the same thread)?
If you tick this box, you can enter specific users who are allowed to send you a PM.
If you don’t check the box, anyone can send you PMs.
However, you will probably be able to send PMs to all users - unless they have ticked this box and not entered your name.
This was a wrong answer because I looked to the wrong box.
Right answer:
When you tick this box everyone can send you a message:
Oops, I meant to ask what happens if I check the box.
I presume if there’s no names in the users section, it’s a blanket ban on PMs from other people, yes?
And would this be affected by the blanket ban?
There is no blanket ban, but I don’t know what happen if they were already in a previous PM with you.
Edit:
Ahh, sorry, so you mean that if you click on the box and don’t enter any names, then basically no one can send you a message? I don’t know.
Interesting - I guess I will find out eventually
You could try it with another person.
The change can be reversed at any time.

Yes, I meant to ask this as well - I guess I will know what happens eventually
I cant send you message. The message button is missing when I click your profile.
Well that is this question answered

As tested by @VeraJunior, previous PMs are not affected by checking the box!

I just tried this experiment, and it seemed like I could send a message in an existing PM thread!
However, I can’t start a new PM. The message button shows on your profile and I can start a draft, but when I click send I get an error “Sorry, Seracker is not accepting messages at the moment”
I like how we are finding out about the limits of the forum together
In summary:
If one has not been in contact before: there is no message button
If one has been in contact before: the previous PM thread is unaffected. However a new PM thread cannot be started
Several Forum members have a second icon that appears between their user name and national flag icon. I remember reading something about how you do that, but, try as I may, I can’t find the instructions again. Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
… and Thanks!
The forum has has been updated to Discourse 3.0 which is the latest stable version. The majority of the changes are under the under the hood or in things we are not using in this forum (or we will activate only later). One of the prominent changes is a new (experimental) feature for user status. This allows you to select an emoji, a short text and for how long it will stay up — this appears next to your username on your posts (hover the emoji to see it). [Screenshot 2023-03-11 at 11.04.27] I…
