RS232/RS485 Converter Circuit Receiving Problem

I'm trying to make a RS232/RS485 converter circuit.

I used a circuit diagram from the Internet and I changed some components of that circuit. Here is my converter:

I used copper pour as ground and I connected lacking ground connections with additional wires after the board was prepared.

To test my circuit, I used another RS232/RS485 converter circuit which I know that was working without a problem. I connected A and B outputs of my circuit's RS485 connector to the A and B outputs of other circuit's connector.

I then connected these two converter circuits to the computer with RS232 USB cable. I tested the communication between these circuits using CuteCOM serial communication terminal. I used two terminals for my circuit (Baud Rate:9600).

I observed that data is transmitting from my converter circuit to other but not receiving from other circuit to mine.

I also tested the other converter circuit with another RS232/RS485 converter circuit which I know was working without a problem, and i realized that there is not any problem during transmitting and receiving process, so data can be sent and received.

These are the list of the changes that I made on original scheme in for my converter scheme;

Maxim's MAX232CWE(http://www.kynix.com/uploadfiles/pdf2286...) was used instead of ICL232.

Texas Instruments' SN65HVD3082E was used instead of 75176.

As voltage regulator, Exar's SPX3819 was used instead of LM2936Z5.

As transistor, BC256A (pnp) was used instead of BC557 (pnp).

22 uF capacitors were used instead of 2.2 uF, for the ones connected to MAX232CWE.

On original scheme, a 6 pin connector was used as RS485 connector and two pins were used for A, B connections, one pin was connected for ground, one pin was connected to the 9th pin (RI - Ring Indicator) of the RS232 connector with a jumper. Unlike these, in my circuit, 2 pin connector was used as RS485 connector and only A, B connection's where made. (RI and ground connections were not used.)

On original circuit, A and B pins of SN65HVD3082E RS485 Transreciever were terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor and a jumper. I did not do this on my circuit.

I'm investigating about the problem which can be related with changes that I made on original circuit or another reason.

I will be very happy if you can share your thoughts about the problem on why its just transmitting and not receiving data on my converter circuit.
