Why is the Sent Message box empty when I have sent a PM to a member?
-
Dont know, sorry ... try refreshing the page ?
Log out, log in again?
Re-sending the message?
BOFFSSSSSS!!! @Acorn @Francesca

@sewmuchmore Have you changed the look and layout of the forum to a different theme? I don’t use the standard theme and one disadvantage is that I don’t get the option to see my sent message folder.
If you are using the standard format, did you tick the box to “save a copy in my outbox” when you sent the message?
-
There is a box you need to tick to enable sent messages to be saved. By default it is unticked. I think this is really stupid, but it's how the software does it.

I've just looked - go to your Messages. Bottom of the left hand menu is 'Change Settings', click on it and then scroll down to the last but one option. Tick the box.

I found it when I couldn't work out where my sent messages had gone.
Why on earth would you make 'not saving sent messages' the default?
-
Because lazybones like me would soon be overwhelmed with stored data. I'm glad they're not saved
-
Well I suppose it depends how often you send PMs.

All the time @Sewingsue :|

Ah, I have only sent a very few since I joined.
Not much to say I suppose (although that would raise a laugh with people who know me IRL).

@Acorn thanks for info, preferences are now changed.
