Default Can you tell if someones reads your private message?

I sent a couple message and according to the site, the guy read them as soon as i sent them but last activity was around 344am for that member and i sent them this morning. Is it accurate or every message you send automatically goes to read status.

Thanks
Mike

A guess: If it says it's read, it is. The no activity thing is probably less than reliable. He may have only gotten on to check PM's and maybe that doesn't count.

If it says he got them, though, he did.

Request a read receipt when you send it. Then you get a read notification.

I sent PSJ and NB both emails but have no record of it in my sent box??? Am I going mad or is this why they have not responded?

Since I haven't gotten a reply from either of them, is there a link for marketing or to some page or can I get an email with sponsorship information? I asked PSJ 2 days ago, and NB this AM.

I don't quite know where else to post this based ont he forum titles.

I have noticed the same thing the OP mentioned. I remember at one point I could tell by looking at a sent PM wether it had been read or not, but now they immediately show up as read, which obviously they haven't been. I don't recall having to request a read notification before.
