 |
|
| Hello everyone, I’m not sure where to post this, but I am having issues trying to private message a member. The private message that I am sending goes to my outbox. the person I’m trying to message isn’t getting it. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? |

The PM does not go to your "Sent Box" until the person you are sending it to, logs into The Samba and then it is delivered into their Inbox. If they don't log in for a week or month, etc, it will stay in your Outbox until they do.

Yes, correct.
This is how the PM system works for the Forums and I admit it's sort of confusing since it's different than how email works.
I changed the Outbox to say Outbox/Unread years ago to try to make this more clear but I don't know if it helped anyone.
