Hi, David. The same situation happened to me when I first joined the Forum. I believe the answer is this:

When you compose and send a PM, it initially goes into your Out Box. It will sit there until the person you sent it to logs into their In Box and retrieves it. Many people, myself included, check in on this website without logging in...when you're in a hurry, etc. The receipient of your message actually has to log in with their password and check their in box.

So in short, the person to whom you sent a PM has not logged in and checked their inbox, if your messages are still sitting in your Out Box.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Donna

Almost right, Donna,

It's simply that when you send a PM it stays in your outbox until it is read by the recipient.

This is so you can to edit your message up to the last possible moment.

Bob.

Thanks for the input,

I can understand why this systemt has not caught on ! (I spent over an hour on it !) and the receipient now has 3 copies.

I like a send button and its sent but Hey Ho


Kind regards.

I do believe there is a song about that...."You can't always get what you want"
The system, admirably run by Mr Dore, has been in place for a while now and I am sure you will, like everyone else, come to understand it's differences.
I see you joined in Sept so a belated welcome to the site.

In fact, if that's the setup you like David, just click the email button (but you won't know it's been received... whereas with pm's when it leaves your outbox, you know it's been delivered.
