hi joan marie
i have just sent 2 pm’s and both keep showing up in my outbox, and are not visible in the sent messages
do i have to wait longer for them to show up? or didn’t they get sent?
if so, what do i need to do to send them?

hihi, i guess i was being a bit too impatient (as usual) the messages have been sent, my outbox is empty and they show up in the sent messages....

I believe that, when they are in your outbox, that it means the recipient hasn't seen them yet.

A lot of people get confused by that. Once a message is opened, it moves to the "Sent" folder.

It's not like email. The "advantage" is that you can edit or even delete a PM up until it is opened. Also, you know if your message has been read yet or not.

The disadvantage is when you get used to it and then think you can do that with a regular email you've sent. :P

I just went through this very same thing. Some of you have received multiple pms from me because I didn’t think the first one went through. I am so sorry.

You are not the first one who has done this.
It really is confusing. I wish there were a way to post something on the PM page itself that explained it.
