Private Messages on element14 Community

Community Members,


 

Beginning October 25th we will begin the upgrade process to the element14 Community.  When the upgrade happens, any messages from the legacy “Private Message” feature will not be immediately accessible. Our development team will be working on a way to make these messages available post upgrade.  The new Direct Message feature will take the place of Private Messages, providing you with an enhanced way of communicating directly with your contacts and the element14 Community team on the site after the upgrade takes place.

 

Although your current private messages will not be deleted, we recommend that if you wish to retain copies of any private messages you have on the community please do so on or before Oct. 24th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments field below.

 

element14 Community is making it easier to find the content, conversations and connections that matter to you. To get the most out of the upgrade, please watch the video below that showcase some of the upgraded features.

 

 

 

Thank you,

element14 Community Support

    Oh that is why DM is used instead of PM. Direct messages are not private?

    Hello All,

    This has been resolved. If you click on your name in the upper right hand corner of the screen and choose "Your Stuff"

    there is now a tab titled "Archived Personal Messages"

    Thank you all for your patience with this, Our Dev Team worked very hard to provide these back to you.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Jamie

    The long winded method :-

    Open each PM you wish to copy.

    Hit 'Save page as" and it should save it.

     

    The alternative is to cut and paste into an email back to yourself.

     

    messy, but lets hope someone comes up with something since we've just passed the 200k membership.

    I just want to make sure that we are  clear that private messages ARE NOT actually being deleted. It’s just that the new version has no mechanism in it currently to allow access to old private messages. We will be working on a solution to that so that members can get access and view their old private messages (or export them more easily) but it will not be there right at launch. However, since your old PMs will not be deleted, we will make sure to provide a way to get access or request access to them in some fashion after the upgrade.
