Where are the favorites and U2Us

[maleko]

There is a Personal Messages (PM) function here that replaces the old U2Us. To access it, click on your avatar in the top right corner of your screen, then double-click on the envelope icon.

You’ll be taken to the Inbox section of your personal Messages page. You can then click on the “New Message” button to start a PM to someone. Personal messages look and behave very much like topics here in the new Forum, except that they are private topics between you and whoever you’re messaging.

In your Inbox you should find a message waiting for you, from “postbot,” with the heading “Greetings!” Click on that and follow the instructions there to begin a brief and very helpful interactive tutorial that will familiarize you with this new platform. The instructions will look like this:

@postbot

If you’d like to learn more, select below and bookmark this personal message . If you do, there may be a in your future!

Where are the round robins for that were in the old forum, are they all new here?

Here: https://community.postcrossing.com/c/games-activities/round-robins/14/

RR’s will be opened here as soon as the hosts can do it.

OK one more dumb question, where is the U2U mail?

First of all, the only dumb questions are the ones one doesn’t ask

If you want to send a message to someone, you have two options:

1. Click on their username in a topic (marked with red), and then click “ message” (marked with blue), as shown here:
   
   
2. Go to your user icon in the top, right corner > Your username > messages > New Message.

@BA_Yeats - Also note that you’ll have to use the users original PC username to message. In the old forum we could change our usernames, but here, we must use our originally chosen “official” Postcrossing name.

[BA_Yeats]

ok thank you! I will make myself familiar with it.

So are there folders in the new message system?

[Norway_girl]

Yes, there are. Click your avatar in the top, right corner > Click your username > messages. There you’ll find “inbox”, “sent” and “archive”.

[Cassiopheia]

No custom folders

[iwritedeb]

Oh that’s a drag. That’s how I tracked what was due in and out.

Such a pity we can’t save to favorites anymore!

[Bille]

You can bookmark your favourite Topics - to my mind that makes no difference.

[venicesunrise]

Where are all my emails? They are all gone and I have 0 emails in my inbox. Is there a folder where all old emais went to?

[Bille]

All your u2u’s are on the same place as before - in the old forum

If you want them safe, you can send them to your email account.
Or you can copy them and send them here to yourself.

[venicesunrise]

Thanks, Bille, I didn’t know the old forum is still accessible. Everything is totally new here and takes time to figure things out.

@BA_Yeats

…How do I save to favorites like I did before.
…

There are links on the “hamburger” menu that will lead you to a list of topics you’re currently Tracking or Watching.

Is almost like favorites

I’ve written a little guide about bookmarks and notifications here: Bookmarks and Notification levels

I hope it helps! Let me know if you still have questions about them after reading it – I’m happy to update it so that it is clear and comprehensive.

[post]

If I mark it as a bookmark, is there a list with bookmarks, like a list with favorites? I can’t find it?

[Bille]

Finding the bookmarks:

1. click on your avatar and than on and you see some of them
2. click on the little arrow and you see all

Is there any quick way to save our U2U messages from the old forum, or must the messages be sent one by one? I would like to save my U2U messages, but don’t know how to do it.
