So... just a couple weeks ago we get the 2 new post boxes via the UO-Store.
I had (and still have) a cash of the classic post boxes and have been selling them 1 by 1 for the last couple months. No reported issues. At the same time, I have a post box set up at the building WITH that very vendor selling them. Not a single time since Sept 2018 has anyone dropped anything in that box... and no messages on the message boards in any of the 6 town buildings telling me of any issue not being able to drop items off. OR any messages via ICQ or here. I assumed nothing was wrong.
So, I gave a returning play a job that pays really well for little bursts of time invested. She works odd ours to me, so its sometimes hard to be on at the same time. With the new wall safe, I figured the only way to beat the whole stupid removal of checks was for her to drop the items in the post box with a bill... and I'd go around to her house and drop some funds in her safe. It sounded like a good THEORY at the time! BUT... now we hit a wall where she cant seam to drop anything in to the post box thats been sitting in place for over 10 years (or whenever these things originally spawned).
I had a friend, who's dropped things in the same post box many times over the years, come around and drop something in the box to test if it was working. She is not friended. The box is secured, friends and up. Sure enough, she dropped an item in without issue. I go to remove it... it has her name on it, just like any other time anyone drops something in a post box. I drop the item on the ground... it keeps her name. Same origional friend comes around... can see the item on the ground WITH the name... and yet can still not put anything in the post box.
BOTH friends are NOT friended to the house! 1 has always been able to drop items in the box, still can. 1 is new and can not. I dont know what's going wrong here. Any clue, anyone?
