Which means they'll neither get the PM notification *or* the thread notification - ergo its *STILL* a pointless waste or everyone's time adding "sent you a PM" to a thread.
Either notifications work - then they hear about the PM
or the come back to the forum - where they get notified about the PM *before* being able to see that the threads been updated
Anyway back on topic ...
It could be a lot of reasons
1. they're busy
2. email/pm/threads are a very "cold" medium and talking to teh client is better
3. the didnt get the emails
4. they dont really want the business or are "part-time" so cant follow it up
At least 3 out of 4 quote requests I get dont get an adequate reply - because I dont think the client-supplier relationship is a good fit. If I can suggest an alternative I do, or I send them here or to WHT. Starting a live chat with " I need a svr NOW!!! m8 and cheeeeep -wot u got m8, not them 1's on yr site" gets your IP firewalled off ..
