I see a lot of useless posts when someone states they just sent someone a PM. What’s the reason for posting a reply to the thread stating you sent someone a PM? The guy getting the PM will know he has a PM, after all he is expecting a PM because he just advertised/stated something that requires a PM be sent. What’s the purpose of telling the rest of the world (or people subscribed to that thread) you sent a PM? In the mean time if I am subscribe to this thread I get multiple useless emails stating “PM sent” and “PM replied to”. Or if I just found the tread I have to surface past a bunch of useless posts looking for threads of useful information.

PLEASE don’t PM me your responses

 

And what was the purpose of this thread. wasting space. Who cares if someone writes that.

 

Post count

 

Because some people don't look at the top right corner box all the time and often miss the # of unread PMs they have

 

not in this forum

edit: woops, as soon as I walked away from my computer I realized you were answering the OP's question, not the one about why he posted it

 

Exactly. Also, another reason is that it lets other people know that you sort of got dibs (unofficially).

 

and to bump it up

 

mmm, i love it when newbies tell explain to us how the forums should work.
