Me three. I'm back to not being able to reply to mods. If that happens to others, there may be no way for mods to communicate with trouble makers and/or whatever the opposite of a trouble maker is.

Drew and Steph have walked away from ADT to move down to Mexico full time to set up narcotrafficante-talk.com . The cartels just have way more money to spend on banner ads than the pornographers do at this point. ("¡Zetas! We behead more in one week than the other guys do in a month! Click here to join NOW!") ADT will go dark as soon as the utility company gets around to shutting off the electricity to the server room.

Me and others have found out regular ADTer (non mods) can PM mods fine and mods can PM regular ADTers.
The problem is when regular ADTers try and PM regular ADTers (communication between non-mods and non-mods).
I and others get the inbox is full or something.

Before I say anything, allow me to preface this post by saying that I don't have any answers. I don't know anything about the messaging software or any potential bugs. But I'm going to offer a suggestion:
Any chance your inboxes are actually full?
Remember that if you've read all your messages before, then when you click on "Messages" in the top right corner of the screen, it won't actually show you any messages, just a message count.
If you click on the "inbox" tab though, you'll see all the messages you've read already. Maybe, delete them and see what happens?
If that doesn't help, then I've got nothing.
And to Jonny: I just got another DM from a non-mod a few minutes ago, so non-mod --> mod should still be working.

Are people having trouble every time they try to send a message, or is it sporadic? Just curious.

I haven't tried lately but I managed to send a message to a couple of regular members a few weeks back. Once I got a weird error message but I tried again and it went through on the second try.

killbill it seems that you are late to the party. This is a known problem (acknowledged by Drew) and has been discussed multiple times in Tech Talk. It (apparently) affects only some members, and everyone else is oblivious, unless one of the "afflicted" members says something about it. GGG even says she emptied messages from her inbox and sentbox, but it didn't fix the problem. We have established (from this other thread) that Gore Gore Girl and stinkfist are having the "erronously full mailbox" issue. So maybe it's a small problem, or maybe other members are suffering in silence or in ignorance. Remember the only way to know you know you have the problem is
1)someone tries to send you a PM
2)the sender gets a "full mailbox" error message
3)the sender somehow notifies you about the error message
IMO, most times the sender will never do step 3 and therefore the recipient will never know any problem exists.

^ That's a good point. I'm sure many times people who aren't having the problem just plain don't know it exists (like me until I came across this thread).
I guess when any problems arise it's important to notify whoever you can, as soon as possible.
Something else I'm curious about: for the people whose accounts are giving them trouble, is there any rhyme or reason to the problems? Are there certain times it works and not others, and are there any patterns you might have noticed about these occasions?

Me too. I'm taking a break from ADT, and I can't fall back on my PMs like I had hoped. I just popped in to provide some input that might be helpful:
There is no rhyme or reason other than the fact that I can never receive PMs from ADT civilians - only mods. I can send messages *to* civilians, and they always receive them, but can never reply because my inbox is full (except it's not - I deleted all of the messages).
The randomness occurs when suddenly, mid-conversation with a mod, I lose the ability to reply to them. There is no reply box. Yet for other mods, there is one (e.g. I can reply to Redish but not JJ). One time, when I tried to start afresh with a new message, it said I had sent too many messages and would be unable to send any more. A day later, I was able to send them again. The second time, (the current situation), it was Jonny Jay and it says his inbox is full. So, unless JJ has been uncrowned as a mod, it looks like the civilian disease is spreading to the elites.

Not me. Harri sent me an urgent email. I laughed and then I cried.
We should just all add each other to FB and exchange numbers so we can text and set up dates and whatnot. Maybe not dates...but generally fuck around.

Wait, this is something different I think than the full inbox problem, because this was happening to me way back when the PM system was first started. As for how it was fixed, I don't know.... I e-mailed Drew about this issue and a few days later he e-mailed back that it was fixed and it hasn't happened since.

^ But when the reply box disappeared for JJ, I went to message him from scratch (not as a reply) and it said (and still says) his inbox is full. It said something different for another mod, and for yet another mod it has now seemingly fixed.

I don't know. I just know I had trouble with keeping the ability to reply to people way back when the system started. I would have to go out in the forums and use the envelope icon there to reply. Honestly I wouldn't just assume one is related to the other, but I could be wrong.

Actually I wouldn't, I don't know more about the PM system than any other member here. And I have no idea what Drew did when I had the problem, I just know it hasn't happened to me since he fixed it. I just figure, it might help you get things fixed if you separate the issues so if they aren't the same thing they can be all fixed.

^ I think he sent the email in the event that you couldn't PM him.
Did you try to reply to his PM? From what I understand, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So if it works, great.
If not, and you'd really like to PM him, maybe think about getting a new email address (just a simple gmail or whatever) and PM me or one of the others mods and we can pass it along to him.

^Yep! Sorry about that, I still can't receive from members hence the email I set up. Like killbill said it's a very simple throw away one set up in seconds (mail.com) until my pm starts to work again, it's a bit of a hassle at moment. Pretty certain I read you don't do twitter, however, if you do you could follow then exchange DMs. (@JonnyJayADT).

You are correct JJ, I don't twitter the only other email address I had was hacked and it was spammin' KillBill lol. I only have a adult email now. You can blast me on a thread if you want JJ.
Mod edit: On second thoughts I'm removing this section from your post as I suspect it was more for your peers over at the other place. Don't bring that drama here, if you want to entertain those guys do it over there.

That's just it, I wasn't blasting you, in the main I agreed with you. I was saying how things could be misunderstood by myself particularly in that situation, tongue in cheek is fine, probably not in that way though.

JJ sorry you felt you needed to delete my edit. It wasn't for that other forum. I don't really post there and I couldn't give a fuck about any of their making fun of this site. I meant what I wrote in the edit. With no other intention. Just cuz i figure the people i communicate with here don't post in the gay section. But then again i wouldn't know for sure cuz i've never opened the gay section. Sorry you felt that way. We take one step forward and two steps back lol. It's cool.

I gotten a couple of PMs recently but can't respond/reply to them due to the error messages.
Does anyone know if the PM problem is going to get fixed? I can't imagine how busy Drew and Steph are, but besides the others, I would love to be able to privately communicate with ADT users instead of publicly.
Right now, I can only do this with the mods. I can receive (I think some non-mods both can and can't successfully send and not sure if everyone's gets thru) PMs from non-mods, but when I try and reply to non-mods, I can't (error out). Not sure if this will help whoever troubleshoot the problem, but...

Just for the record, I still can only reply to select mods, and even then it comes and goes. Cannot receive messages from regular posters at all. Doesn't stop me from sending one-ways though.

Here's a thought...
Does it have anything to do with your username and/or the username of the person you're sending to?
I notice for example that killbillvol69 has no problem. And thedude008 has no problem. But Jonny Jay has a problem. And Gore Gore Girl has a problem.
Any chance it has to do with the usernames being more than one word?
I'm just throwing that out there. Maybe we could do a poll?

I'm guessing it has to do with someone's PM box being full and the 'send' function not reporting that properly to the sender. Just a guess though.
