Posting by email???

Hmmm, Good Eye Jim!

 

Sorry, but I don't!

This is a new feature that rolled out in the same upgrade that brought the post view counts back a couple of days ago.

 

I have not yet had time to learn what it is or how to use it.

Maybe we should have Mlewski tell us how he is doing it? <GRIN>

Dennis,

 

I would have but, ironically, he doesn't have an email listed in his profile!

 

I'm guessing that if you have notifications turned on, the email you receive about a response to your thread may have a link or a reply option built into it???

 

I should turn mine on and see.

 

Jim

OK, my notifications for this thread are turned on.

 

Somebody respond, and I'll see what options come in the email.

 

Jim

Here goes!

Let me try that way also to you..

Test reply directly from email!

That's it Jim! I just replied to the email and it came in that way.

 

Very neat, saves from opening and closing to go to the forum directly to post the response.

I don't see the Icon by yours though, do you see it?

Jim,

 

Also weird lost your reply in the thread????

There it goes!

The only drawback I see is that you are posting sort of blind.

 

You will see the post that caused the email, but you will have to look at every other email to really get a sense of where the thread is going.

 

I sort of like to read all the responses before making any comment.

 

But, come to think of it, it might come in handy if you find yourself in a position to receive emails but cannot access the OGR site directly. I guess some office computers block external sites.

 

Now those guys can still post even though the forum site is blocked.

 

Thanks, Dennis. Mystery solved!

 

Jim

I do see that you lose your OGR Signature, but then that makes sense....

Heck, it is an option, that may be useful, I will try it for ahwile.

Thanks for the new stuff!

Lets' see if you can attach a picture to the response.

Jim

Looks like you can!

 

I just attached the photo as you would to any other email and there it is!

 

Neat.

 

Jim

Nice Diesels!

Thanks!

uh oh - we have a new toy to play with!

Jim

Oops! One minor glitch.

 

After responding with your post you will also get this additional message from Hoopla:
