Hello, I've written two PM's to users here, and these messages seem to be permanently stuck in the "outbox". That seems unusual to me. Is there some sort of message queuing problem? Or a policy block on me of some kind?

Thanks for any help on this matter.

The PM system on this forum takes some getting used to. It feels cumbersome.

Messages in the "Outbox" haven't yet been picked up by the recipient.
When they have, they'll move to the "Sent" box.

I believe this is the same method that mail clients such as Outlook use.

Your recipients may simply have PM notifications switched off, so a "Please check your PMs" post to a thread they're active on might help.

OK, thanks
