How do PMs work?

Post by Kaci »

I've tried to send a PM to request access to the Druid-Christian group. I hit "submit" and it looked like something happened, but I don't see anything in my sent or outbox folders. Is there another step I have to take for the message to actually go to the recipient? Thanks for any help!

Hi Kaci. I have now added you in to the Druid Christian forum..... Enjoy! (I'm not sure what has happened to the PM facility. It looks like you are doing everything right :???: ) I didn't get a PM from you, if that helps, I had just seen your post here then added you. 8-) Perhaps you could contact the Admins about it. I will PM them (if it works!) and direct them to this thread.

Best wishes,

Heddwen.

Hello, I seem to be having issues with PMs too. I’ve tried to send one but it is stuck in my Outbox with nothing showing in my Sent items. It has been there for a good few hours now.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Karen

It means the person hasn't read it yet.
Once they read it, it disappears from the Outbox and moves into Sent. :)

I've had the same issues on and off for a while.. sent a PM and it disappeared into the ether, not in sent or outbox, just no longer existed. Tried again and it worked, even though I did nothing different :shrug:

There are two options, right next to each other: send PM and send email.

I did this recently - unintentionally tapped on email instead of the PM, wrote the whole thing, sent, and then been puzzled why it doesn't show in my outbox/sent.
The email text box looks slightly different than the PM, yet similar if one is not paying extra attention.

Ahhhhhhh I just figured out what I may have missed last time...
When I've searched for someone's username instead of typing their name in, I'm forgetting to then click 'add recipient', but when typing in their name from memory the add button is right there lol

In my experience that means the recipient has not “opened” it yet. I’ve had items in there for days/weeks that were sent to folks who don’t log in that frequently.

That is correct: it's in the outbox until the recipient opens it, then it moves to sent. I have a few in there that are waiting for folks to return. I do miss some folks that moved on from these boards :-|
