Question

Is there an equivalent of a Socratic inbox?

I know I've had a Socratic Message conversation with a member many months ago where we talked about how to use the maths formatting for a particular problem, but I can't remember which user it was.

If I know the the username I can link to the messages we have exchanged, but as I cannot remember which user it was is there a link to get all messages, or a link to all members which I have messaged?

Answer 1

Yes.

Explanation:

The notification bell history stores all the notifications that you ever received on the site, so you can use it to look for that user/conversation.

Depending on how long ago this particular conversation was and on how many notifications you get on average per day, you can simply load up your notifications by clicking on the bell, scrolling down to the bottom of the list, and clicking on "Show more" `->` it's not very pretty, but it can get the job done.

So you can simply load up the conversations and do some detective work. Chances that you had this conversation with one of Socratic's regular contributors, maybe someone who is active in Calculus or Precalculus, so my guess is that the list of "suspects" is not that long :D
