Hi Matthew,  
  
  
  
I have a few “Unregistered Users” sent me some questions by private messages system at C2 and I don’t mind to answer them but I just wonder whether they can read my replies or not because I don’t want to waste my times reply to those messages if they can’t read my replies.  
  
  
  
Thanks!  
  
Si Nguyen

I am not sure of the answer (it would be logical to say yes, they can, otherwise there is no point in the PM system), but you can test it for yourself:  
  
  
  
 Don’t log in but send a PM to your system. Answer it and see if you got the response…

Alas, that is a very strange bug. They will not be able to see your response. I need to fix that - and insist on log in before PM’ing. You would think that would have been obvious to me…  
  
  
  
Sorry, guys.

It must be someone who wants to contact you through e-mail, i.e. send you a message that cannot be read by C2.

Maybe… but I do think that the person who wrote that message KNOW that I can’t reply/contact him because he didn’t login C2 before he PM me therefore I said it is the funniest message I ever receive at C2 🙂

Matthew,  
  
  
  
It have been over 3 weeks since you find this bug and I still receive private message from Unregistered User today. Is there a time line to fix this bug? I don’t want people think that I am ignoring them and their questions.  
  
  
  
Thanks!  
  
Si Nguyen

OK. It will be a priority. Give me the day please.

P.S. We don’t use the term “bug” here. We prefer “undocumented feature.”

Hi Matthew,  
  
  
  
OK, I will call it “undocumented feature” from now on 🙂  
  
  
  
Thanks for your reply!
