    I hate to keep bringing up problems but...

    Two things.

    1. When someone sends me a PM, I don't see any way to respond.

    2. How do you block someone?

    Replying to PMs: If you click on a private message and open it up, the reply area is (should be) at the bottom of the page?

      Thank you. I was going to my inbox and I could read the message but not respond. But I see now all I had to do was click on the drop down for messages and click on the actual message. My bad. Thanks again.

          Make sure your browser isn't auto-filling your email address at the top of that same page. It makes the system think you're trying to change your email address when you're only trying to save the new ignores.

            C'mon Billy, PM messaging is rather awkward compared to old system and every other I used but still is kids play compared to networking.
            I'm always around so feel free to send me PM anytime you have questions and we may save Aneurysm some time.

              I have auto fill for email turned off. I'm using Chrome. Also, tried on Edge and still get the same error. It's not that big of a deal but if you think of anything, let me know.

                Trust me, I can make some idiotic mistakes at times but I think the reason I originally went to my inbox instead of directly to the PM is because there wasn't a way to reply to the PM. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. lol

                  Billy, Billy, Billy. It took me a little over a minute to figure it out the first tie and about 10 seconds to remember the second time. And my brain is 20 years older than yours. My biggest problem with PMs is that nubes will PM me with their Ricoh problems a=instead of posting them to the Ricoh forum.

                    I can't say for sure because I've experienced other issues with this site. Not complaining, just saying. But I think when I clicked directly on the PM (that was when the site was first upgraded) that there was no reply box. There is now. I could be wrong. In any event, it could have been a dumb ass mistake on my part. I'm sure you never make any of those but I do.


                    PS - I've never seen a message board that when you go into your inbox it doesn't let you reply to a message.

                      This is one of the few places where I will using messaging. In the early days, Messenger was one of the major spreaders of malware.

                        Recently, I installed Windows 11 on a PC using a work around for older computers. I've been having a couple of weird issues unrelated to this website. I don't think it would cause any of the issues that I've experienced here but I'm gonna roll back to Windows 10 and I'm gonna find out.

                          Hi Billy,

                          I also just installed Windows 11 on an older computer the same way as you and I am not having any issues with the Copytechnet site. Just FYI

                          If all else fails read the Service Manual!

                          If that fails, meet me at the pub and we will discuss it.

                            I used the workaround to install Windows 11 on about 30 PC's at a school and none of them have any issues. But my PC won't let me attach a file or picture in an email or on this site or anywhere else. It just sits there like it's trying to do something and hangs up. The only way I'm able to post a picture on this site is to copy and paste.

                            I have to roll back to Windows 10 anyway because I have to be able to attach a doc or image in an email.
