Does anyone know:
1) Why I previously got e-mails notifying me that I had received a PM, but did not get one for the last one?
2) Why my responses go into the "Outbox" rather than "Sent Messages"?
3) Is it correct that if my message is in the "Outbox," it HAS NOT gone out to the recipient?
TIA

2) Because the recipient has not read it yet.
3) See #2.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: PM Questions
1. Check your User Control Panel/Edit Global Settings page. Does it have "Notify me on new private messages" checked? It might have been unchecked during the recent upgrade of the Bored software.Estonut wrote:Does anyone know:

2. & 3. Yes, it goes to the Outbox until the recipient reads it, then it'll move to the Sent Messages.

Re: PM Questions
Thanks guys!
I didn't do anything differently upon sending, and thought this behaved like e-mail, in that "Outbox" means ready to go out, but not yet sent.

Re: PM Questions
That's the weird thing. I checked that before I posted my questions, and it is still set to "Yes." I just checked my spam folder in e-mail and didn't find a notification there, either.MarleysGh0st wrote:1. Check your User Control Panel/Edit Global Settings page.
