I received a PM this morning but when I try to respond,I get an error message that says Did not find any data for this PRIVATE_TOPIC I have tried several times within the last couple of hours. Help? What to do? Thanks

Are you looking at the PM in your PM section (GO-PERSONAL ZONE-PRIVATE MESSAGING) or are you reading it from an email? If the latter, it probably means that the person has deleted the message. Double check in your PM section.

If the former, would be a glitch.

Thanks, Cristina. I went to the personal zone and the pm isn't there so guess Leslie deleted. I've now pm'd her and so will go from there.

I know what happened.

It was ME! I did it!

I was tired and was cleaning out my Yahoo email account, deleted all the "sent" and refiled a lot of things, then, I cleaned up my pages of PMs!

I have done that before and had people ask me where it went. If you tick the wrong box, (because you don't remember what was in that particular PM, without checking the content to see if you want to keep it) - then you press "delete", well, whoosh, it gets deleted, by accident with all the old or finished ones that you really meant to delete.
It was me Jane - I did it. (Bad Leslie emoticon needed.)(Or emoticon of Leslie in rubber gloves holding bottle of bleach on a cleaning out spree!)

Crikey, I do this a lot. Will be good and will go back to keeping more than half a page of PMs.

Is easier in email where you can file things in the ST box.
