    Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried sending a couple of private messages out to Tom and Bill (about NASCAR) and when I hit "submit" the screen says "Your message has been sent" but all it does is go to the Outbox and stays there. It never shows up in the Sent box. I though maybe it would after a period of time...but nope.

    I just tried to replicate Stu's issue, and I found that a message I had tried to send to Sid back in January 2013 is still in my Outbox as well. Hmmm...

    Kes, I got the test message that you just sent me...but when I tried a test reply the reply got hung up in my Outbox...just like the new messages that I tried to send.

    Your messages sit in the Outbox until read by the recipeint.
    At that point they move to the "Sent" Box.

    This isn't a mail system. the messages never really go anywhere.

    That makes sense, thanks Scott. So now the question is, why has Sid been ignoring me for two years!?!? :shock:

    OK...I'll buy that. I guess Tom and Bill are ignoring me as well. :lol:

    Kes, LOL! I just saw your post and went to my message page. I see a message from you in January, 2013, but for the life of me I can't recall what it was about or if I ever saw it to begin with. I don't think I did, but that was two years ago, roughly 1 year, 11 months, and 29 days longer than my memory. :lol:

    I was thinking that I usually get an email that say's I have a private message waiting for me.

    Somebody shoot me a private message so if I can see whether or not I get a email notifying me of the private message.

    I get the emails but I think that you have to sign up for that notification in your profile.

    Are you disparaging my ailing cognitive abilities? :x Okay, in my 40s now and I reserve the right to slip a bit from time to time.
