In the old community forum, I NEVER receive a single message from scammers. Since changing everything, I've received 3. MAKE IT STOP!

·3 weeks agoI think it is fabulous that some did not ever received a scam DM in the old version of the Community. I know I did as did others. But it is always a good thing not to receive them.
This new Community has a whole lot of stuff to get use to, there is no doubt of that. In time it will improve and we will settle in because this is what we have to use now. Sad but true.

·3 weeks agoRead the rest of dhbookds instructions. Don't just hover as you must Click on it and a drop down appears.

·3 weeks agoI guess I could post the message here and let you try to delete it. Hovering is possible ... no three dots and no clicking available when I try it.

·3 weeks agoI had three. I clicked "hide conversation" (I think) and they no longer show.

·3 weeks agoLooks like they are letting Direct Messages come to us again and the first one I get on Sept 19th is the same scam one that I received a couple weeks ago. So it appears that it hasn't been fixed yet. Sure they will eventually get it fixed though. On the old message board, I don't ever remember this happening but maybe it did and I just never saw it or got one.

·3 weeks agoThey fixed it once already and it worked for awhile. This new series of scam DM's will probably have to be addressed as well - we can't seem to report them. Hang in there ...

·3 weeks agoIt can be reported. You have to go to the drop down menu and report is one of the options
dhbookds
·3 weeks agoNeed to "hover" over the message and then 3 dots appear on the far right......click on those and it gives you the option to "report"........
Supposedly they are working on a more obvious way to report.......

·3 weeks agoI tried that ... hovered over every part of the message and all it did was enlarge the pixels I was hovering over. I think others have had the same problem.
thanks 😎
