Private messages not working?

Post by ron.dunn »

I've been trying to PM a member (at his request), but the message just sits in my Outbox rather than my Sent Messages.

Is this feature broken, or is it an error on my part?

From what I have noticed this is normal, a message will always sit in my outbox until it is read by the recipient

Yeah, but I couldn’t even get mine to go to the outbox. If the pm is there, then it was sent....just not read!

:bash: I sent a test to you, John. It is taking way longer to send that it should. When it finally went, there were 4 messages to you. Not sure if I kept clicking on the send button 4 times but it's unusual.

PMs are working, but i am not being sent an email letting me know I've gotten a PM....my preferences indicate that I should be getting that email. Brian, if you are bored, throw me another one so I can double check.

My preferences are set to get emails when new threads are started or when there are replies to current threads. I haven't had an email from Reel Talk in several weeks.

E-mails should be flowing now. Also, image super-size is working depending on nature of the image file.

Thanks, Paul. Just now got the 28 messages from ORCA that I didn't get over the last few weeks.
