So this has happened now twice -- I've tried to send a private message, and it goes to my Outbox instead, where it apparently languishes...

If I click on the message in my Outbox, I don't see where I can resend it, or any way to actually get it to the intended recipient. It just sits there, mocking me.

What am I doing wrong, Mods? One was a new message, and one was a reply, so I don't think that has anything to do with it... but I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks!

It sits in your outbox until the recipient logs in and reads it. It's functioning normally.

OK, got it.

So then, if a message has been in the Outbox for over a month, that means the person is just choosing not to read it...?

That's about the size of it.

I NEVER read mine, they're always hate mail, I know where I stand Rolls Eyes

By the by, I've never understood why anyone uses the message function of this board instead of using e-mail. Almost everyone here has an email button on their posts, and using email, you don't have to take the extra steps of logging in and out of VO-BB just to read a message.

Simplicity can be a good thing.

That is how we reach you Lee, but for those without superpowers... a Private4 Message sometimes gets the job done and at least the contactee knows here you are coming from...

I thought messages also stayed in your outbox if the recipients inbox is full.

The message leaves your outbox when the other party logs in. They don't need to read it.

I like the PM function here and I use it.
After I first met Todd at The Palace Station, we emailed, texted, and used PM.
Now we don't talk at all. What an a**hole.
