Your messages did get sent, despite the fact they show up in the Outbox folder. Their appearance in that folder means they haven’t yet been read by the recipients.* Which means that in the interim, you can edit your messages or delete them altogether.

This is the way that messaging has worked in phpBB forums since time immemorial.

*If the recipients are online here at the same time you sent your messages, there’s a good chance the members will read your messages right away. Which means your messages won’t stay in the Outbox folder for very long.

Hello,

I have had three straight private messages go into the outbox folder and then not get sent. Any insight as to why this is happening?

Thanks!
