Site Technical Difficulties?

Post Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:58 am

I cannot reply to nor send new PM's. Any attempts have resulted in PM's sitting in the Outbox.

Is it just me or does something need tweaking? Thanks!

Hi Peaches,

I sent you a PM about this earlier, in response to the PM you sent me.

The PM's seem to be working fine. Here's how it works:
1) You send a PM to someone
2) The PM goes into your 'Outbox'
3) The user reads the PM you sent
4) The PM is moved into Sent Items.

That's the way the PHPBB forum software works - I agree the wording is confusing.

I've had a look at your account permissions to test the PM function and it looks normal..Could you try sending me another PM or responding to the PM I sent you today and we can double check if it's working?

Thanks!

Thanks for that tip. It has always been confusing!
So 'Outbox' really means 'UnRead Sent Items'

Essentially, yes. It always bothered me how they programmed that...However...There's probably a way I can manually change the wording. Do you think "Unread Sent Items" would be more explanatory? And then maybe change "Sent Items" to something like "Delivered & Read" or something like that..Hmm.

Or "Pending receipt" and "received"
