I just discovered the Messages area here at TLP. I've seen it but never clicked on it until Lorry mentioned a message might be there about the slow scrap. I have 1200+ messages I've never read. I missed coupon codes, questions from fellow scrappers and even a guest CT offer. I can't believe I've lived in the dark for so many months. What a dope!

Just when I think I've figured everything out about getting around a digi site, I am humbled again!
 
That's also a LOT of polly love in that message box! Let the glow from your face drop down to your heart.
 
Oh wow!! I love seeing the positive side of things, but am sorry that you missed out on some coupon codes and guest CT gigs!!
But knowledge is power, right? :)
 
i did nt knoweither - i used the code from that slow scrap today (that i had forgotten about and so thanks for th reminder and for telling me where to look) and it did work so maybe try again? check there's no spaces before the code if u copy and paste it in the box, that stuffs me up usually - HTH
 
Um, well Diane, you aren't red faced alone. I knew those messages were there, but I thought they were only copies of the comments that people have left on your layouts. I didn't know people actually used them to send messages to people. I had many in there too that I had never read until just now. Who knew? Whooops! :giggle I wonder why I don't get an email when we get a new message, but I do when I get a new comment to my layouts. I'm going digging in the settings to see if that's an option so I don't miss any more messages.
 
I have known they are there for awhile now, but even knowing, it is really easy to let a message go unseen. (I try to remember to use the Private Messages instead.) So I can totally see how that could happen. No reason to be red faced ... enjoy the love of finding all those messages at once and I bet the guest CT spots would still be an option (if they haven't already snagged you for a permanent spot) if you contacted the designers.
 
I had used a gallery on another site (same software, same messaging system) for years before I thought to click on the messages, so you are not alone! But I have totally changed my gallery flow since figuring them out. I keep the message there until I've returned the favor for each comment I get, so I don't miss anyone. Then I delete them (which does NOT delete the comment on your LO - just the message about it). I prefer checking the messages regularly instead of getting lots of emails. If I don't have any new messages, well oh darn, I'll just have to look at the gallery! :giggle Always something beautiful happening there. :)

I love the message feature! Both here in the forum and the gallery notifications. I love returning comments when I get them - really builds a sense of community.
 
OH NO!!!! I hope your guest CT offer still stands. Catch up girly! ;)
 
Oh Boy.... I thought those were all comments from the gallery. I usually check every so often, but not as much as the private messages. Don't be so red-faced.... it can happen to everyone!
