VTR1000.org message box

Post by RedStormV »

Hi,

Sent a couple of PMs this morning, which didn't go cos 'sent items' was full.

Deleted various messages and went to 'Outbox' where the messages were sat, there's no way of re-sending! or at least not that I can see.

So, I copied text of PM's, deleted the ones in the 'Outbox' and sent them again. They're still sat in the 'Outbox'!!!! :x

'Inbox' isn't full (74%), neither is 'Sent Items' (60%) so how come they're not going?

Also, what's the score with 'Saved Items' is that a separate 'storage' area for old messages you want to keep? If so does it have any bearing on the ability to send / receive PM's?

:? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

Feckin' 'puters

i think when you send a PM, it stays in your inbox untill the recipient reads it, then it leaves your box.

From the forum documentation.......

"4.3.3: The Outbox
When you send a PM, the message goes to your Outbox. It remains in the Outbox until the recipient visits his/her Inbox, at which point it is moved from your Outbox to their Inbox. While the message remains in your Outbox you may edit or delete your post if you like. The message remains in your control until it is received.

4.3.4: The Savebox
The Savebox is provided as a place to keep important PMs. Often it is used to save valuable messages from the Inbox, and then you can use the Delete All function to discard the rest.

You may save messages in your Inbox by selecting the messages (with the checkboxes next to each message) and clicking Save Marked."
