PM messages stuck in outbox

Post by Bill Carroll »

I have PM messages I have tried to send that appear in my outbox. I am pretty sure they never got sent (No reply).
1. how did I do that.
2. How do I send them.

AM I missing an icon or something?

Thanks,
IT Challenged,
Bill

In this forum software (phpBB), the message sits in your Outbox until the recipient actually opens and reads the message on his end. Not a problem, just a quirky way for PMs to work. But yes, the person you sent the PM to never got it if it's still in your Outbox. I don't believe this forum defaults to sending e-mails to the users when they get a PM, either, so without an e-mail address, you're kind of hung out to dry until they chose to return to this forum to read their messages.

Good to know, this I sent a PM to the site admin regarding this over a month ago. It's still sitting in my OUTBOX. I guess Keith has not checked the site in awhile.

I'm pretty sure that Keith is no longer associated with this forum. Rob Howden bought the rights from Keith a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if ANYONE routinely monitors the admin box at this time (apparently not?).
