I am not able to send private messages

by Maxwell2079 » Aug 18th, '11, 09:50

Hello Chip/everybody,

I am having problems to send private messages.
They get stuck in the outbox but aren't send.

Could you help me please?

Best wishes.

Hi Maxwell,

I think you're okay.

When you send a private message, it will stay in your outbox until the recipient opens and reads it.

So if it's still in your outbox, it means it hasn't been opened/read yet.

Hope that helps!

By the way, you can edit your messages after they have been posted :)

If some other posts have been made after yours, the fact it has been edited will show in details of the post.

It is helpful to add a note - possibly in small font - like this
[edited to correct a typing error]

If you edit it before another post then it won't even show as having been edited, and the edited note is not necessary.

Thanks a lot for the advice Herb_Master!!

By the way, have you bought any pot from Chen?

If, yes could you tell me which clay and what was the result after using it?

If you want me ask you this in a different post let me know.

:mrgreen:

I have, just the one - a 170ml Di Cao Qing

It is of course the studio flagship shape of Duo Qiu

I love the pot, it has a great feel, and the tea that comes out tastes great :D

http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?t=9129
This teachat topic discusses zisha clay, and Chen also shows a photo of one that may very well be similar to mine - [half hand made] - though they now have models in different sizes. I mainly drink alone at home so prefer some of my other Yixings between 100 to 140 ml.

I have perhaps 100 yixings, so my Chen pot has not been used enough to develop in a way that I could pass meaningful input to you.

In the above topic Chen describes how the clay has flecks of golden sand, if you look hard at her photo you can just discern some. With my pot you have to look even harder to find any golden flecks, but I am led to believe that if I use it constantly that they will become more evident.

Why not add a posting to the the above mentioned topic to solicit other Tea Chatters experiences with Shouzhen pots?
It is certainly a more suitable location than this sub forum. :wink: Yixing enthusiasts are less likely to visit this thread.

I would not hesitate to buy at least 1 Shouzhen pot, it gives you a stake in the ground to compare with other Teachatters.

Hi, thanks for your prompt reply.

Starting a new thread sounds like a very good idea. I'll do it probably.

100 pots, that is lot!!
Unfortunately, since I live in Argentina because of our currency is very expensive to buy in $USD. :mrgreen: .
A friend of mine and I will be getting a couple of pots so before that I'll start the thread.


See u around.
