Messages stuck in Outbox

[DonPeppino386]

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!

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.

That makes total sense! Thanks for the information.
