    I suspect they are lying to you. Have you tried to send yourself a PM and reply to it to see if it works?

    Haha that really is the case with most of the newbies on forum, they tend to reply "PM sent" on threads but never actually send one :p time for a new addition into rule book??

    Not entirely true I have had my PM's not reaching people sometimes and very often the read receipt doesn't get confirmed for months after the PM's are read. I can show proof.

    Maybe because someone was doing a username change? :confused:

    Admin, I still am not receiving many PMs. When people are online and want to do a business deal, they reply promptly. But I have messaged to many and received reply from none. I have missed many projects which I could have done!

    The only way someone would be unable to PM you would be if your PM box was full. Just because you write a PM to someone, it does not mean they are obligated to reply.

    That's already in the rules, you can't reply saying just "PM sent", "PM me for more info", etc, period - you need to provide legitimate useful and relevant information, or questions.

    Send me a PM, and I will tell you if I get it. There is a possibility that they simply don't want you to work on their things.

    edit: I received your PM, and sent you one back. Thanks.
    edit2: The OP received my PM, and replied back to that one. Seems everything is okay, from the view of the forum's technology.

    Well,I have been working and getting lots of projects here, and this is not possible that someone dosent wants me to work without a deal and without even a first correspondence. I am not even getting a reply from some of the most reputative members. There is a problem.

    It IS possible people aren't interested in the PM you send them. People don't HAVE to reply. There are PMs I get that I don't reply to. Certainly doesn't mean it's not possible to reply.

    Its not always possible that you'll get reply back from other members (reputed members too) evenif you have offered them good service deal.

    DON.
