PMing problem

[Ben Morgan]

Whenever I send a PM, and I look at my sent PMs, it says the PM was read regardless if the other person read it or not. I just tested it by PMing someone and told them not to read it, but it still said the PM was read

Did you check the "request a read reciept" option thingie?

[Ben Morgan]

No, I didn't.

[dingo]

No, I didn't.

I think it just defaults to "read" in that case.

Try checking it and testing it again.

The only things that are checked are

"Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder."
"Show your signature"
"Automatically parse links in text"

When you make a new message and before you send it, you need to check [Request a read receipt for this message] Under Miscellaneous Options.

Is there any way to set that as a default?

Not that I know of. Matt or Jonah maybe able to switch that.

I would be fantastic if that was set as the default. In the olden days (before the latest major forum software update) it was automatic. I can never remember to scroll all the way down there and tick that check box.
