How Do I...

Post by zephyp »

send a PM to multiple members? Do I separate the names with a comma or semicolon ?

Anyone know? And no, this is not a test. I dont know the answer... :whistle:

Maybe we need a How Do I topic somewhere...

You should be able to separate email addresses with a space and a semicolon ;

I have disabled the ability to send PMs to multiple users in an effort to prevent spam. I think we can probably loosen that restriction and see how it goes.

Thanks, Rick. Ten is plenty. So is it comma, semicolon or either?

Add a name in the box, then hit the enter key to go to the next line. When done adding recipients, click "Add".

Thanks much. So now we can spam people 10 at a time... :hysterical:

Actually I'm trying to figure out how to send a PM to 2 or 3 people and know the syntax for separating names is different depending on the SW...

Easiest way to do it is start a pm, and above the add button, click Find a Member. Type in their username in the box, click search. Once it lists the name at the bottom, check the box and click the button. Then click the add button..... I do this for each name I want to add.
