Messages in Outbox.

[jeff wharton]

I have been exchanging PMs with another member of this site.My first four messages were successful,but the last three I have attempted have stuck in my outbox.I don,t think I have done anything different.Can anyone tell me what the cause of the problem is?

Messages sit in your outbox until the recipient has read them; you can edit/delete them while they're in this state and they'll never know (oh, unless you delete them and they've received an automated email to tell them they have a new message)

This really doesn't belong in Countdown: General.

Thanks for that John.He is probably away.I didn,t know how the system works so I thought it was something I had done.

"Forum: Hints & Tips" thread is in Countdown: General though. And this probably belongs in that thread, tbh.

You should have the virtue we call patience.

And I mean that in a general sense.

Thanks for raising the issue, Jeff, and for answering it, Jon.
I wondered about that myself, and thought the system was being slow sending messages. Not that I've sent many, about half a dozen.

Don't worry about it, just thought I should note that I moved it since generally I don't like doing micro-management tasks.
