This has happened to me on a number of occasions...

As you know, BPL sends us an email whenever a member PM us -- and we reply by clicking the link embedded within that email. But sometimes, when I do that, I get an error message -- something to the effect that the sender is no longer a registered forum member! And when that happens, I have to look for the member's name here on the forum, click on it, and PM my reply.

Do you guys get this error message from time to time as well?

I only get an error when I click "reply" instead of clicking the link. And yes, I do it more often than I should!

Yes, I just tried to reply to the PM email

And the system asked if my compass was broken.

I may have had a PM that didn't get sent on like I thought it had been.

I also had a problem with the PM system. The system seems to work at first and then it fails. I tried replying to an older BPL PM and it didn't get to the originator.
