PM System problems

[Gilldiver]

I have tried to send a few PM's over the last week but they don't seem to get out and end up in my out box but never in the sent folder. Anyone else having similar problems?

I will have the problem checked out. In the future if you are having forum or website issues it's best just to send me an E-mail. Thank you

While it's being looked into you can click on the envelope and E-mail the person directly.

Gilldiver: it's entirely possible that the person you're trying to PM has private messages disabled. Does it seem to give you that result for every person, or just certain people?

If you don't mind, please PM me a short test message, and if it gets through I'll discuss the issue further there. If not, feel free to come back in this thread.

Aha! Looks like in phpBB version 3 and up, private messages remain in the outbox until the person you're PMing reads them. I wasn't aware of this upgrade but it seems pretty useful. It allows you to edit the message before they see it if necessary. Has the person you're trying to PM been on recently?

If that's not the case, try checking to see if your sentbox is full. Deleting old messages allows the new ones to send. Let me know if you find that either is not the case! I'll be doing a quick test of my own to make sure the problem is just the former, but other than that I hope that answers your question.
