Why is the PM system on this forum such crap?

Careful though, you might end us as test manager

Well, its difficult to see how even I could feck it up any more than that Welsh bloke you got for half price

Yes. It worked. But don't worry Nick. I'll find something else wrong before the days out

The PM system is like the commons bar, where sneaky behaviour is rife.

You don%u2019t need to click on the name at all. It%u2019s already been selected as the recipient of the PM.
Type your message and just send it.

This is all just a trick to lure the unsuspecting into buying the Guardian, isn't it? You don't fool me with your "Mr Brexit"  lines Nick. Cromwell will be behind all this, you can bet. Well, you aren't making me wear a fecking dress.

Right. So when I click on that name, it just goes to their profile, and still doesn't put the name in the addrss box.

Fecking liberal communism bull****.

What is it with this PM system? If you click "reply" to a PM, it doesn't enter the recipient in the address line, so you have to do it manually. Even then you've no idea if its right or not. Whats the point in even having a reply function then?

Additionally, you click send and get a pop up saying "message successfully sent", but there is no record of it in "sent items"

Or is it just me?

Spot on DD, but if you open your eyes you'll see that the username is auto selected and waiting for you to send your PM.

Keep up !!

Probably because the management got the site on special offer.
