Having Problem Sending PMs

Post by lumosityfan »

Hi SciOlyers,

I'm having trouble recently sending PMs to users. When I send a PM, it just stays in my Outbox and doesn't actually show up in my sent messages, suggesting a failure to send. Thanks for the consideration!

Doesn't a PM in the Outbox just mean that the recipients haven't viewed it yet?

Does it? I just thought that it wasn't sent because it wasn't in "sent messages". Usually it would go straight from the "outbox" to "sent messages". But it's not this time.

The point of the outbox is so that the sender can edit or delete the message before it's been read. If it's in the outbox, the recipient has not viewed it.
