Private message receipts

[mewtwo-EX]

Under the Private Messages folder, right below the drop down to select Inbox, Sent Items, etc, there is a link called "You have 3 confirmed and 1 unconfirmed private message receipts." It links to the URL "https://www.pokecommunity.com/private.php?do=trackpm", but when I click on it I get Access Denied. Could someone tell me what this is, and why I can't click it?

It has been there for a long time. I seem to remember it changing a few years ago....https://www.pokecommunity.com/private.php?do=trackpm

PM receipts are things that tell you if someone read your PM or not. If you asked for one, the other person would confirm it, or they wouldn't.

However, they were disabled at PC ages ago, when it was still a pop-up. Many people were annoyed by it, so someone asked it to be disabled, and it was after awhile.
So, you get "access denied" because they're disabled.

Hmm...so I should just ignore it? Or is there someone who could remove the message for me?

About the only thing I can think of to get rid of them is to turn the permissions back on. And then the members go in there and delete them and then to turn the permissions back off.

Hmm...so it would have to be a community-wide thing? *sigh*...I guess I can live with the unclickable message staring at me.

Yea it'd be open for all PC members. And if it's open then anyone that sends a PM will get "Do you want to request a read receipt?". And then the ones that said "Yes" will get that suck when it gets turned back off.

Oh God, lets not turn those back on, I hated those things. Or is there gonna be a thing in user options to disable them?

 

[Arcanine]

Did it say anywhere in the thread that it was going to get turned back on?

Sorry, I misread your last post. For some reason I thougth the first sentence said that it was.
