How do you tell if a private message has been sent?

Post by sespie »

I typed out a private message and hit "send", but it is sitting in my "outbox" and does not appear in "sent messages".

I can't see any other send function from there.

As Dick Emery used to say to Roy Kinnear, "I think I've got it wrong again".

sometimes it takes time, perhaps it's a server problem. I also had it sometimes - same procedure, press submit again

I confess I have not tested this specific forum, but as a general rule (as I understand it) the message should sit in your outbox until the recipient next logs in. It will then appear in their inbox, and move from your outbox to your "sent" folder.

All sent messages sit in your "outbox" until the message is read by the recipient.

This is correct and has been explained many times before.

However, with many new members, who've not experienced this before and, if it differs from any other forum they use, it can and does lead to confusion!
