Title: Sending a PM
Post by: Losos on November 10, 2006, 05:28: PM
Can someone advise me how I get a PM which is sitting in my 'outbox' to actually go  :)

On most forums I think you just log out & anything in the outbox gets sent but that doesn't seem work on this forum. I tried logging out and back in, it's still in the outbox which means it's not been sent, doesn't it??

i believe it sits in your outbox until the recipient actually opens it. I queried this a while ago and that was what was thought to be happening

HTH

I also wondered this last week but I think I have sussed it now. Someone will hopefully confirm if I am right or wrong.

When you send a message it stays in your outbox until the recipient opens it, then it will be in your sent box. :?:

Thanks a million for that explanation which I'm happy to go along with. I think he probably only reads his PMs at work and as I sent it Friday he may have sloped off work early  :wink:  (Well, I have been known to do that myself so I'm not complaining :) )

I was a bit confused because on the 'UK Workshop' forum (Which appears to use the same software) my messages seem to get into the 'Sent' box quite quickly,  :? but I guess there are loads of 'options' on this and dogchat may be set up differently.  

We'll see what Monday brings - Thanks once again for responding. Hope I can do the same for you one day.
