Private Mail Bug

I can't reply to a private mail...or at least I can't figure out how to. I have to forward and enter the handle of the person I would like to reply to.

Also, when I follow the link from the notifcation email that I have a private mail, it deadends me somehow. I have to go to "home" and then click on private mail. I don't remember right now, but I think it takes me to my mailbox but tells me that I don't have mail or I'm not logged in or something, but when I navigate around it, I find the mail.

The second one is not a particular concern to me and I realize it could be trickier to fix, but not being able to reply seems like a good one to fix.

No big deal to me, of course, I appreciate how great TalkBass is, but thought you might want the QA.

Troy,

To reply to a PM, click the "quote" botton near the bottom right of the message :) I'm not sure what's causing the second problem - perhaps you're viewing a cached copy of the webpage - try hitting your browser's refresh button the next time you're greeted with an empty PM box via the notification link.

It's not a popup, so I have no idea why it would...
when i log in and the prompt comes up saying that i have a new message i click ok to view it and it doesn't open.

but i can still just click on my tb and see it so there's no big deal

Exactly. No big deal, but worth mentioning if you are soliciting QA help.

On the reply to a PM, you're right I can use the "quote" button. I didn't really think of that, it's usually an option and is easier that forward and readdressing like I was doing. I might suggest that it's a bit of a usability issue and maybe not the most intuitive, but not a problem for me now that I'm thinking workaround.

Thanks,
