Private Messages Question - Stuck in PM Outbox ?

replying to PMs

Hi.
Must be being thick. How do you reply to PMs?
I missed out on a bargain last night because I hit "post reply" to a PM and it doesn't seem to work.
Is it designed to work that way or not?
Thanks.
Rog.
 
If you were replying to a PM, the process is like this:

Go to Inbox
Click on PM to reply to
Click Post Reply button (bottom left)
Type in your reply
Click Submit

Confirmation screen shows:

Information
Your message has been sent.

Click Here to return to your Inbox

Click Here to return to the Index

And then returns to Inbox

You can check your PM status by checking out your Outbox or Sentbox.

If it is in the Outbox, it is as yet unread by your recipient (although "delivered" immediately)
If it is in the Sentbox, then it has been read.
 
Thank you for the comprehensive reply.
That is indeed the process I follow. I get the confirmation message. But there is no sign of my reply in either my outbox or sentbox. I have tried 3 or 4 times now. I can initiate a PM to the person but I can't reply to his PMs it seems.
 
Please reply to the PM I just sent.
 
Thanks. Just done so and works as you say. Sitting in my outbox waiting for you to read.
For no reason the same process yesterday didn't work.
I will try replying to the original message now, that caused my problem.
 
And that now works too.
Must have been a system glitch before. Doing the same process as before.
Thanks for helping to trouble shoot.

just as a pointer - you must ensure that your message has a 'subject' - or it won't send.
If you are replying, this is usually populated for you.
 
I guess you have to make sure the server doesn't fall over just as you send it too!

PS - PM replied to.

For some reason when i try to send a PM it just sits in my outbox and i cant send it :?:

It will do until the other party picks it up, its not an email
 
If it's in your outbox you have sent it.

A PM will stay in your Outbox until the intended recipient opens it. It then moves to your Sentbox.

You can only reply to messages in your Inbox

Anyone know why they sit in the out box and don't move for some users and get sent to others ?

Annoying when you are trying to buy some wheels :x
