Ian Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 As your probably all aware I`m a recently new contributor to the forum. I`m in need of some advice in using the PM service as I am obviously doing something wrong. I have received and succesfully sent PM`s up until lunch time yesterday but now find whenever I try to send a PM instead of it being sent and recorded as sent in my `Sent Box` it does not get despatched and ends up in my `Outbox`. I`ve tried various ways i.e. replying to an existing PM, by clicking `New Post` and searching for a member and finally clicking on the PM icon of a member within a discussion forum. Each way when clicking the `Submit`button they all end up in my `Outbox`. Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Ian - I don't use Pm much but I have received and replied to yours today. I know there is a limit on how many you can store - have you reached your limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Gary, Got your PM and the one I sent you has now gone out of my `Outbox` and appeared in my `Sentbox`, can only assume its some sort of holding function till its available to send the PM. I noticed the memory capacity for PM useage but I`m no where near that capacity. I tried sending one to you yesterday about 2.00pm and noticed it was stilll in my `Outbox` at 7.00pm last night so thought they were failed PM`s. That prompted my concern as to whether I was doing it right. Thanks for help. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I tend to prefer email to PM's - but may be thats just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Is it not the case that it sits in your outbox until the other person logs on? I think that's how private mail works i.e. it doesn't send it over the Internet, the message never even leaves the forum's server.
