Cannot send private message

Post by chuckster »

Hi.

Anyone else having this problem? I try to send a private message and it gets stuck in the ‘outbox’ folder and never goes into the ‘sent messages’ folder.

Chuck,

I have had this issue. From my experience, it appears that the not stays in the outbox until the recipient opens the sent message. I think the bigger issue is most people don't check their notifications in the upper left corner, that notifies them that they received a private message. The best I can suggest is to post a message on the related thread, notifying the individual you sent the PM to, that you sent them a PM, and if they could please reply.

Since I fill in as a moderator here, I'm not 100% certain if the option of clicking on the individual's name and sending an email to them is available or not (some of the screens do strange things now for me now because of that). I know it shows up for me, but I can't remember if it did prior to my volunteering to help out with the board or not! I've found some video's to watch that will possibly give me a little bit better understanding of how this all works to better help out (minimal as it may be). I do know that even as a moderator, some of my messages seem to stay in the outbox as well, but since almost every one of them was because of misuse of the board or spam, chances are those individual emails were probably false ones anyhow so hard for me to tell for certain.

Hi Brett (wolfe10)

I replied to your PM you sent me. Can you check your Inbox and see if it is there? It is on my ‘Outbox’ so I have no way of knowing if it was actually sent.
The message that I typed in the PM says “sent at March 8 at 7:15AM PDT”

Duane (05wingrider)

I also sent you one that says “Did you get this”?
