[PROBLEM] I can't send PM on xda [Maybe Solved] - About xda-developers.com

Hey guys i'm sorry to post in this section but i don't know where i can post!
So, i've a problem, people don't receive my PM on xda, and i don't know why :/
Help me please for fixe it!

That's really weird.
It must have something to do with your internet connection.
It's best to move this thread to the 'about xda-developers' section.
use the red triangle in the right top of your post to ask to move your thread.

Moved to About XDA.
Try to send me a PM.
I'll pass this on to Admin.

I've sent you a PM to test if you can receive / reply...
Dave

I waiting the reply from DaveShaw...
If it works it's my HomePC beacause i used my laptop rightnow

You have your reply
Dave

Hi all! Thanks for your help!
And thanks to xda team to be present and help noob like me ^^

Can't send neither! When I send a message it doesn't come in the sentbox?!
Or could I send a test message to someone ?
Thanks in advance

welcome to xda
I expect that to be a different restriction you are suffering from: it's applying to junior members to help prevent spam
you might notice two other ones: posting urls and creating a signature won't work either until you have 10+ posts (far as i know)
so with a little patience this should resolve itself
if not post here and I will notify a moderator/admin for you
best

Thanks for your reply and explanation!
I'll try to get a few posts then... but hey, gently without spamming
Cheers

Hi guys,
I now have +10 posts and still have the impression I cannot send PMs. When composed a message, I click submit and I'm directly referred to the PM overview page with this text: "Private Messages in Folder: Inbox"
When I check my 'Sent items' there still empty. Thanks in advance!

I'll pm you, lets see if reply works

It may simply be that your Private Messaging is turned off.
Go to User CP on the brown bar above. Choose Edit Options on the page that appears.
Scroll down slowly through many options and you will find an option to turn on and off Private Messaging (both sending and Receiving).
NB When finished don't forget to click SAVE at the bottom of the page.
(If Private Messaging is enabled already, try unchecking it (save) then go back and recheck it and save again.)

hi
out of curiosity: pm usage works immediately (if setup correctly) or is it part of the anti-spam-pack?
in case the issue comes up again I prefer passing on facts instead of speculating like I did this time
thx

To be honest I don't know (it is possible it is part of the anti-spam measures) - I'll try to find out.

Or the other possibility is that the setting to save sent pm's isn't on as that could make you think that it's not sent.

I have a similar problem : I can use PM (I received some, and received answers from mine), but I cannot see any message in the outbox...

You need to enable this option in your forum profile options.
Click here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
Find the "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" option and tick the box to enable it

No problem
I think it's not ticked by default, as they add to the overall PM quota, and most people don't really need a copy of sent PMs.

how to change password of my account

This sounds like a stupid question... However, I could not find it anywhere. I logged in and clicked my username following "welcome" and then was directed to the statistics page. Still no change password function there ~

Thank you so much! This was a big help to me.
NEVER MIND - I 'm a noob!
Why it can't be done inside XDA Labs app? In order to reset password (because I forgot) I had to force close XDA Labs and then go to browser version because emailed conformation link redirected me straight to XDA Labs app again, where I can't reset password. Now that I figured out the trick, this question might look like irrelevant, but still I can't help wondering why such a simple task should involve all that going back and forth and force closing trickery. It's not that it's that difficult, but just including a friendly "forgot password?" question inside XDA Labs login section would be way easier and faster, I guess
BTW... There is no "UserCP" option available over here

If you are using your phone, make sure your browser's user interface is set to "PC" instead of "mobile/android," then click on the gear icon at the top of the page.
Thanks for posting your question.... solved my logging in issues.

[Q] Anyone know how to receive notifications from xda in email?

I used to have my xda account set up so that when somebody replied,quoted or thanked me i would received an email,but i don't get them anymore because i probably changed something unknowingly.
Does anybody know how to set up the right settings for that?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?

Ok i turned on the settings that should have enabled email notifications but still no notifications.
What setting turns them on?
I thought that i would get more help than this on here.
Are you talking about when you subscribe to a thread and what not?
If so, it is in settings>notifications. Cant remember the exact buttons to look for, but it is in there.

Please don't be a Debbie-Downer. It is kind of a turn-off when people see your request and then see you complaining about not getting help (especially when others have already tried to help). Rather than complain make a new post or ask again. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be patient. Lol I have a question out there that hasn't been answered in months (granted I found my answer another way)! Sometimes people don't know the answer or assume that it's already been answered when they see multiple replies.
As to answering your question... Setting up notifications didn't work for me in either the XDA app or in Tapatalk. In order to set them up I had to go to the actual website. I'm using the XDA 2013 Beta so my instructions will be for XDA 2013 Beta.
If you'd like to switch to XDA 2013 Beta go to the very bottom left of your screen. There is a dropdown box, click it and select "XDA 2013 Beta".
Now on to the rest.
In the top right corner or your screen select the "Control Panel" (directly below your username).
On the left side of your screen you should see a gray box that says "Settings and Options". Below that is a menu option titled "Edit Options". Select it.
Once you're in the "Edit Options" section scroll down past the first little section and you'll see the section "Messaging and Notifications". You will see many sub-options, almost all relate to different email/messaging options. Play around with the ones you want and presto! You are good to go!

I already did that,i tried all settings in "Messaging and Notifications" before asking this question.And im on Beta 2013.Still no notifications.
I have an account on Phandroid.com and every time someone replies,thanks me or comments i get an email.
I think i had that on XDA before but not any more,it would be great if i could get it on here.
Does anyone actually receive emails for replies on xda or xda don't have this option?

K. That's something else entirely. When you subscribe to a thread it gives you the option to be notified. There are several options in the dropdown list, I normally do immediately for the important threads. I get emails all the time.
There isn't currently a system that notifies you when someone quotes you or thanks you though.
Good luck!

If you have link of your image then fill it. Else, Just scroll down & there would be "Add attachment" option. Select the file & hit on "upload". Then Save the Post/thread.

Ok, cannot figure for the life of me. I try using both Google image site to share and also 500px site as well. And can't resolve the insert image site. Is it because it's pointing to https secure site instead of http only? Also, when I scroll down, I do not see the file or upload in my browser from the pc. However, from the XDA app on my phone, I see the attachment icon and choose the image but it errors out 'Bad Request'. I try to resize and using different images and getting the same error.
Thanks

Not being able to upload files is one of some intented limitations of XDA website for its very new members (junior members with less than 10 posts).
The "bad request" error shown within XDA mobile app is a generic backend error. In that case it's all about permissions, the same as for the website.
After 10 (useful) posts, you should be able to upload files using both a web browser and XDA app.
I can't seem to attach photos. I get bad request on the app. In the browser I don't have a button for attachments.
Maybe my 10 posts weren't useful so far?

Missed it.
Anyhow, while I can imagine that this rule protects from spammers to some extent, I see a serious downside: Post quality. When posting an issue or an answer, I like to provide as much information as possible, and this – in many cases – includes screen shots.
Update: I now have 15 posts, and I still cannot upload photos and illustrations to my posts.

Me too having the same problem.. i am trying to upload photos of my Android HU player so others can see and provide help if possible
Another way I found to work around is to upload the photos to google drive and share the link here. At least that way others can still see the photos you want to upload and can try to help.
Ahhh so I need 10 posts before uploading an image, thanks guys :good:

For me it is working as intended. Must be an issue on your side, doesn't look like XDA's.
