I try to send private messages and they SIT in my outbox. How do you get them to send. I type them up and hit submit, but it jsut sits in the outbox.

Am i missing something?

Are you not getting replies to your messages?
The message does remain in the outbox (why I don't know) but should also appear in your sent box.
You can try sending me a PM for a test if you like.

Once the recipient views the message it ought to disappear from your 'out' box and move to your 'sent' box.

Send me a PM and let's try that.

Chris,
He sent me a pm and it worked just fine but I noticed mine are all sitting in the outbox and also in the sent box.
Let me clarify that. It seems any message I originate stays in my outbox but those I reply to go to the sent box.

Ya' got me stumped on that one...after Christmas and New Years maybe we can try to figure out what's going on.

When you compose and send a PM, it should stay in your out box until the recipient actually opens up the message...at that point it should move to your sent box. Same thing when replying...when you reply it should go to your out box, then when the recipient opens it up it should move to your sent box.

Could be something flaky with the code module that handles all of this...it's one of the more complex parts of the overall board.
