Having trouble sending PMs

Post by ElliotB »

I am trying to send a PM to a member that contacted me and the message is 'stuck' in my out box. How do I get it to send?

once they look at it, it will move. i have had one outgoing msg stuck for years. maybe they'll come for it, maybe they won't!

Thanks, that makes sense. I had one from late 2019 that was still there so I was concerned. The ones I sent yesterday are no longer there. Thanks for your help! Stay safe!

I had that very same issue and question a while back.

From the Forums FAQ...

A: Private messages will stay in the sender's outbox until the recipient reads the message. To be notified of when you have a new private message go into your profile configuration. Click on the 'Board Preferences' tab and then click on 'Edit Notification Options' in the left hand column. Select the check box for email for the 'Someone sends you a private message' option and you will receive an email alert when there is a new private message for you.
