Question

Post by Clark Doughty »

When I attempt to send a PM or email from Chrome, Ipad or iphone it automatically changes the "send to" address to me instead of the person I'm trying to send it to.
I have no problems sending PM's or emails from my Firefox browser. I asked b0b about this and he doesn't have an answer.
Any help would be appreciated........thanks......clark

That's a bizarre situation, and I don't have an answer either. But it appears that, since Firefox works properly, that there's something somewhere that your Apple devices and Chrome share, since they're where you have issues. What they would have in common is a mystery to me.

I have no problems and I use Chrome. I have never tried with my iPad.

Thanks Dave and Richard,
I agree that it's probably the way I have Chrome set up since Richard has no problems when using Chrome. Have to keep fishing until I find it...

In a PM, Clark revealed to me that his PC is a Mac. Perhaps this will help some of the others who know Mac OS programs to Grok what might be causing the misconfiguration of his email in Chrome (for Mac OSX). This is outside my field completely, as I am only into Windows at this time.

Well, you know more than I do (as always), since I don't even understand what "Grok" means. But your assessment that it has something to do with an email "misconfiguration" somewhere agrees with mine.

To Grok is to truly understand what it means to be a "Stranger In A Strange Land."
