The best is to ask mail-artists if they want to exchange. If they react, you know the status. You can also go for surprises. Sending out bdoesn't always bring you a reply. That is also typical mail-art. But once your address is out there the mail also can come from unexpected corners...... That is mail-art at it's best.

So it was a browser problem after all. Good to know. When others experience the same problem this is a good things to know. Thanks for the information!

Maybe you use the new Internet Explorer 9.0 on a Windows machine. Try to use the browser Firefox instead. The browsers sometimes can't handle the new scripts used on websites. I know some functions don't work for me as well in IE9, and then I switch to Firefor and can do what I want.

It is a difficult work with Internet now the browsers are competing for users and techniques they support.

Let me know if this helps. Maybe I have to look further into this.

The send button works with a Java or Flash scipt. So that is the reason I believe it is caused by this... So a compuer problem / software problem.

yes, I've tried that...push the "Send" button and nothing happens...

Go to the profile of the member you want to send a message to. (if you can't find him/her, go to 'members' and search.

When on the profile. Click on send message. This will be a private message.

If you enter a comment on the public page of a member. It will also be listed on the main page.

Hope this helps find your way.

on sending messages:  I go into "compose" which comes up, but the friends list does not and no slide scroll...does that have to do with "privacy" settings?

on uploading photos: can't upload in the message box or the comment box

on the adding friends:  can't "uninvite" people that have not responded to friend requests..

I did receive some response from Ruud, but it wasn't helpful...sorry...

Bonsoir Angie & Snooky! Thanks for your message. Because Im stupid, I don't really understad it; It seems I can limit what i send to i) Anyone. anyonen in the whole wide world? ii) Members (but who are the non-members in this?), ii) my Friends, iii) My Friends, and that seems sensible, iv) Just me -- but if i want to communicate with Just me then i will talk to myself in a non-IUOMA way.

Can you advise me on the following specific pint: is there any way I can send a message to you two that no one else will be able to read? (If not, how can I ever express my true feelings to Snooky??)

Regards, Hilton

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on June 25, 2011 at 9:07am

Hi Ruud! Is it the case that things have changed and now everyone can read everything sent? Is there any way a 'private' message can be sent -- for example from me to you and only you -- without 1837 other IUOMA members being able to read it?

Regards, Val
