For those of you who use the forums Private Messaging system, here's something you may not of been aware of:
When you send a PM (Private Message), the message is sent to your Outbox.
It remains here until the recipient reads the PM. If you delete the message from the Outbox, the recipient WON'T get the message (although they will still get the notification e-mail telling them they have a message in their inbox. When they login, there won't be a message as you have deleted it).
When the recipient reads the PM, the message is moved from your Outbox to your Sentbox
Dean.
PS: I have two messages in my outbox to Ziggy and Chad Ronson sent last year that have obviously never been read.
PPS: And before Doug asks...the Savebox is where you place messages you want to save.

Re: Sentbox and Outbox
I tried to send a PM yesterday to 'teardrop': the last I saw of it, it was sat in my Outbox - now it's disappeared altogether and not shown up in my Sentbox. What am I doing wrong? (Had a similar problem a few weeks ago with another message. I used to manage PMs o.k a long time ago but I think the site has had a few updates since then).
Paul: I take it that you haven't seen my PM about the LED tail lights - let me know if you have.

Re: Sentbox and Outbox
Odd, I can't re-create the problem. It seems to be working as it should when I send PM's.
Send me a PM PJ and see if it happens to you again.

Hi Dean,
I've just submitted a PM to you, and it is at the moment showing in my Outbox as a message to 'Dean'
