Notification of a message, but where is the message?

[Carole Asselin]

This morning, I got an email notification of a message (I removed identifying information):

Hi Carole, A user has sent a message using the Contact Us form.   Annie xxx ( xxxxxxx@googlemail.com ) said: Where are you? — Invision Community There is no link to click. I went into my site and there is no message under my account. With this short message, maybe it is a spam message but either way, I would like to "address" it. Where will I find it?

The message is displayed in the body of the email. It's: "Where are you?"

This was a message sent via the “contact us” button on the bottom of your forum. The default behavior is to send those messages to the admin via email. 

If you have the Commerce application and use the support ticket system, you could optionally configure the messages to be sent there.

Thanks. That might be it. I was not aware that it is the way a message sent through that link would look like.

It is indeed a message from the contact form. So you are looking at the message (its sent via email)

[rhocar]

Is there a way of configuring where the message is sent, ideally just to one of the admin team ?

[Marc]

There is no way in which to do this. It goes to the incoming email of the site

So can I change that ?

If you are still referring to just the Contact Us form, you can manage those settings in ACP -> System -> Contact Us.

Thanks, but I have already tried that.   I have set it to webmaster@rhocar.org, which is me, and I correctly receive the message.  But it is also going to the address secretary@rhocar.org and he has no interest in it and is getting annoyed 😀

So how I can stop it being copied to him ?

If you've selected "Send mail to these addresses", you would need to ensure that the secretary email address is not included in the list there.

Thanks, I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see that option.  All fixed now.
