Hi,

When I try to sent a pm to another user thje msg remains in outbox. Does this mean that it wasn't succeessfully sent? What I am doing wrong?

I noticed this sometimes happening.

Don;t worry it will be sent.

I tried closing and opening the site but I'm not sure this helps...

I noticed this too, but I think it stays in the outbox UNTIL the receiver has actually read the message.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips. Mark, it looks that it happens all the times for me lately ... :roll:

Fortunately, we can "debug" this together and try to find if Alain has the right answer . Alain, I've just sent you a PM for testing purposes. Pls. let us know.

Hi,

For anyone who has this issue: Alain is right, the PM's are sent correctly but are left in Outbox until the recipient reads them. After that, they are moved to Sentbox.

Thank you for helping =D>

To confirm this behaviour, here is an extract from the forum software user guide:

The Outbox
When you send a PM, the message goes to your Outbox. It remains in the Outbox until the recipient visits his/her Inbox, at which point it is moved from your Outbox to their Inbox. While the message remains in your Outbox you may edit or delete your post if you like. The message remains in your control until it is received.
