A couple of things to know about PM (that I had forgotten!)

Post by j_c_hallgren »

Now that we have PM enabled, I tried it out to verify...and had forgotten a couple of things, as it'd been a few months since using it on another forum...so looked in phpBB forum and found somes answers...so am sharing:

1) When a msg is "sent", it goes in the 'Outbox' and not the 'Sentbox' that one would think...and stays there until the recipient reads the msg, at which time it moves to sender's 'Sentbox'.
2) While it's in the 'Sentbox', sender can edit the msg even after it was "sent", as it hasn't been actually read yet.
3) If sender deletes msg from 'Outbox', recipient may see "new msg" prompt, but find no msg in 'Inbox'...this is normal.
4) After recipient reads msg, there are two copies: sender's 'Sentbox' and recipient's 'Inbox', so if accidently deleted by recip, a copy may still exist in sender's folder.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

I think you meant 'Outbox' there ;)
