New pm's going straight to outbox.

Post by Metalingus »

Guess I'm the only one here with this problem and it didn't happen before. I've sent two pm's to the same person. The site responded "message sent successfully" but they show up in my outbox, not the sent messages folder. Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

Metalingus,

Use my PM icon to the right to send me a test message.

Just sent a pm yesterday to another member but I'm not seeing this problem.

As I understand it (and I haven't reviewed the code yet, just based on observations of my own PM functionality)...

When you send a message to a user, it goes to your Outbox until the recipient reads the message. Once the message is read by the recipient, it will go to your Sent file.

If someone performs a test and determines that this is not the case, I'll look into it deeper. Otherwise, I'll consider that the PM functionality works as I have indicated above.

Yes it is working. I misinterpreted the mailbox functions initially. I apologize. Just works a little differently from what I'm used to.
