Private Message problem

Hi everyone.

Does anyone else have an issue with trying to send replies to discussion topics or sending Private Messages? I have tried to see if I have unwhittingly transgressed any of this lovely sites rules, but cannot see any evidence that this is the case. I have four messages apparently stuck in my Outbox, one to a moderater explaining my problem, and don't know what else to do.

Any suggestions?

The PM system is a bit weird. As I understand it, your message will sit in the Outbox until such time as the recipient actually opens it, then it moves to the Sent folder. If no-ones looking though, that's where it will stay.

You might get an idea of the likelihood of your messages being picked up by looking at the recipient's profile and seeing the last time they logged on. If it was a while ago then they're not frequent users and you're unlikely to get a reply.

As regards the moderators, I had a message for them sitting in my Outbox from 2017 and only recently deleted it as a lost cause...

Good luck!
