"It is frustrating, as a single man, to message a woman who is showing as being online. By the time the message has been sent, the other person/couple has logged off. When they come back online, the message I've sent is bottom of the pile. Most recent messages show at the top. So there's a good chance my message has been buried or will go missing (drop of the screen). Invariably it won't be read. Anyone else get frustrated by this?" Yep, it's ridiculous that mails aren't received chronologically on here, the current system is like walking into a bank and going straight to the front of the queue. | |||

"Tbh mate the little black avatar will get your message ignored or deleted far more often than being bottom of the pile. Stick something there anything (aside from your cock) is better than nothing" ladies on here get inundated with messages, so even if you were at the top of their message list, what makes you think they will respond? | |||

Because I read their profiles and message accordingly. Ad for the bloke saying about avatar, I attach pics. This post is NOT my saying people don't reply to me, simply that messages can get lost or Buried if we just miss someone. IT IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL SINGLE MEN | |||

Lol I've yet to meet anyone that suffered this 'torment'. Most single guys we've met don't worry about this. When I had a single profile it didn't affect my enjoyment of the site. I've known women who's inboxes were bursting at the seams - yet they had simple mechanisms for sorting through (no avatar/cock avatar = delete, no veri's, wrong location etc). You never hear from single guys that meet regularly, have well crafted profiles and who have patience, complaining that their messages are getting lost. Maybe - just maybe theirs stand out and draw interest. (Profile, message title, avatar, first visible line etc.) And those that seem to get lost are in fact sat at the top of the inbox. Unread. And pending deletion. A | |||

"If it was oldest first trying to have a conversation would be impossible as every new message you got from the person would be buried at the bottom of your list or on the other page. Forcing you to delete all you old messages just to continue the Convo you were having" I recently had the opposite. I just missed a friend, who I'd promised I'd send a fantasy story to her. She enjoyed it a lot but it nearly got lost, swamped by a load of messages from people she was not interested in!!!! | |||

"And don't some of the ladies on here wonder, when they see a full inbox, that someone they've been interested in has messaged them and, by the time said lady logs on 24 hours later, the message has disappeared off the screen. She misses out. Bloke doesn't bother again. Who then?" If a woman is interested - she'll message you, surely? A | |||

Not really if we are chatting to someone we don't want to scroll to the bottom every time to continue it would just frustrate people with all the messages for nobs being in the way. | |||

"Perhaps admin could introduce a "priority" inbox so that anyone on a priority list (friends, those on hotlist) have their messages posted in a different folder, thus avoiding some of the issues above? I recently messaged a friend who is keen to meet yet three messages were never read by her. Many more and I've though she was no longer keen. Spoke again on Sunday and she is still very keen. Just hadn't seen the other, buried, missing messages" Sounds like someone needs to manage their inbox better. And I'd recommend stumping up for site supporter status as the whole message thread appears in each message. This subject comes around often. Always started by single guys. I've yet to hear a couple or woman state that they lost track of someone 'looking to meet' due to a busy inbox. Those that want to keep in touch - will. Those that sit watching their sent box waiting for a message to be opened or responded to better have a hell of a lot of free time in their hands!! It often seems to be the cry of those not getting the responses they want that it's purely down to a busy inbox. After all - it couldn't possibly be anything else now could it? A | |||

Also your "friend" seems to be trying to politely brush you off no offence. | |||

Why is it different here?" Right because it's like your email folder. Let's say a woman has a full front page of messages your sis at the top She reads it likes you says a cheeky hey how's you back and sits awaiting your reply. You read her reply and go oo la la and write out your best smooth talk and click that big ol send button. She's sat there looking at her inbox . ... Still sat there.... Oh wait that's right she can't see your reply as it's on the back page She assumes you never replied blocks your profile and moves on. You start a thread whining about how your messages always go to the back of the queue. | |||
