They will see an alert indicating the message could not be delivered. You can view a list of any blocked users from your MessagePad console.

When you get a message
By default the MessagePad will send you an alert via eMail when there is a new message. Please note, your eMail address is never divulged, famouswelsh.com readers can not contact you directly. In fact, you can not even pass your own eMail address via the MessagePad system. This is to prevent accidental disclosure. You can of course give personal information if you wish but we strongly advise against it.

Providing you have accepted cookies from our website, you may also see an alert at the top of each page, in the pencil icon. It lets you know if you have anything in your INBOX. You can also disable the eMail alert(s) but it's best left on because you may miss a message otherwise.

How many messages?
You can only send a message to one person at a time. Your AddressBook can store eight fellow members (subscribers of MessagePad Plus can store twenty eight). Your I N B O X stores eight messages (MessagePad Plus can store twenty eight), after that it's full. If your I N B O X is full just delete some old messages to make room for new.

The Address Book
You can add up to eight members to your address book (subscribers can add up to twenty eight with MessagePad Plus). You'll notice how the AddressBook refers to fellow readers with their UserName and you don't need an eMail address. This is because the MessagePad is an 'Internal Mail' system. Real names and eMail address' are protected.



There are two ways to add to your address book. Firstly, if another member has sent you a message you can simply click on their Username in the INBOX, a new page will display where you'll see the 'Add to my address book' option. Secondly, in the MessagePad panel, choose 'Add a member' from the scroll box in the TO field and follow the subsequent instructions.

From the AddressBook window (above) you can click the write icon to start a new message to that person. To remove a person, from the AddressBook window simply click the remove icon.
