PM tracking....question

[finn's mom]

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to ask this real quick. When a message is in the "recipient has not read" section, I know what that means.... And, when it moves down to the other section, I know that it means the recipient has read it. My question, though, is when the message shows as not read, then just disappears from the tracking section completely, what's up with that? Does that mean the person just deleted it without opening it? Or denied receipt? Just curious......

I think it means that they read it. There are some people here that are kind of invisible like that. They just have their settings different.

No...it means that they clicked on 'deny receipt'. It has nothing to do with the settings. I experimented on this by PM'ing myself.

I've sent many messages and had them read and they've done the same thing. There's no way I could have had conversations about the pm if it's never been read.

I didn't say it means the person didn't read the message. When someone clicks on 'deny receipt', you don't get a RECEIPT in your message tracking. That doesn't mean they didn't read it...they did....Just didn't send you a receipt by clicking on deny receipt.

Ok. Duh! I thought they meant the same. Why would they do that, I wonder?

I wonder that myself
I know I like my presense to be invisable...but never thought of denying receipt. Guess it is another way to be ?

I've accidentally clicked "Deny Receipt" before.. I didn't mean to but it just keeps happening.

My guess would be that they don't want you to know when they read it. That is the only reason I can think of.

So have I. They may not have meant to do it.

Oh, I get it, now. Interesting. It's so weird, though, I mean, the only reason I could think is that the person doesn't want me to know when they got it, but, by clicking deny receipt it goes off the tracker altogether. Either way, you can tell they got it. Unless they clicked on deny receipt accidentally. It just seems like with certain people, it happens a lot. I never even considered using it......if there are people that do use it, and, wanna share with me the reasons.....it could be enlightening for me! It doesn't have to be people that I chat with, and, it'll be kept in private. I'm just wondering why anyone would purposefully do that....

[popcornbird]

I never understood why people use it either. I don't think its necessary for a person to know WHEN the other person read it. I just want to know that its been read, and I can tell either way. You can tell 'when' anyway, if you check message tracking often. The moment you notice it disappeared means its been read...and if you check pretty often, that couldn't have been too long ago.

I have accidently clicked on it, but I know some people always do it on purpose. I can't understand why, but oh well.

[micki76]

Yep, I've accidentally clicked it, too.

Yeah, oh well.

I don't know if this has happened to me, but its ONLY happened when I send it to one person, and they ALWAYS return my PMs! Maybe some peoples settings do have it so they aren't tracked....
