Unhappy

Tant pis! Too bad! I loved the read receipts.
It was so great to know if & when my PMs were read so that I knew that my addressee had read the message & enough time had passed that he was ignoring it due to lack of interest in my proposal.
Some people place ads on tCC & don't take the time to reply 'No thanks.'

As a result of your feedback, we've made some more changes, which we hope will take care of the error messages you have been receiving. Of course, if you see any other "weirdness" let us know.

We're sorry to have to remove a feature that some enjoyed using, but we sincerely feel it's for the betterment of the board as a whole. Thanks for your understanding.
