Private Messages?
Anyone else have trouble with the PM function. I tried to send a couple but they just sit in the outbox. Never show up in the sent folder. I ended up just deleting them. Someone tried sending one to me and I never got it. Result of the new site software?

Re: Private Messages?
I believe they stay in the Outbox until read, and then they are in the Sent folder.

They remain in the outbox until read by the recipient.

Re: Private Messages?
If it's in the outbox it hasn't been sent yet. The intended receiver can't read it.

Re: Private Messages?
It's not like email. You aren't actually sending them something. It makes it available for the recipient to read. Once read it's considered sent.

Re: Private Messages?
A new twist. I erased everything in my outbox this morning and those messages did not show up in my sent box.
Checked my PM account just now and all PMs that I deleted are now in the in-box.
Doesn't matter now. I got his cell phone and texted him.

Re: Private Messages?
They didn't show up because you erased them before they were read.
For future reference. I just sent you a PM. It is now still sitting in my outbox. If you will go read it, it will be moved to sent. You can then send one back to me and see that once I read it, it will be moved to sent. This really is how it works.
Your buddy you sent the PM to must not have seen the notification he had a message and didn't read it.

Re: Private Messages?
They are correct, outbox is unread, sent is read. 100% sure.

As they have said, unlike emails, PM's sit in the outbox until the recipient reads it, then it moves to your sent folder.Dan20703 wrote:A new twist. I erased everything in my outbox this morning and those messages did not show up in my sent box.

Re: Private Messages?
Ah, that explains some of the weirdness.
Has anybody else pressed submit and have it go to the preview mode instead? Requiring you to hit submit a second time?
I run a forum myself, on a different package, and this managed to confuse me. Glad I found this thread at least.

It's always been because one or more people submitted a post while I was typing.
