I have just TWICE attempted to reply to a private message.

Each time, after clicking on SEND, I check the Sent Box. For the second time it reads EMPTY.

Something is wrong. I'm getting a bit tired of sending the same message. Which will appear as a gross symptom of Alzheimer's to the recipient. IF the recipient is actually receiving.

This can't be right.

Anybody Out There???

Go to your Control Panel. Click "General Settings". Go down to "Private Messaging... Sent Private Message". Be sure to click "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default".

You should then be good to go.

Thanks. Done. Sent you a wee message, but nothing was saved. That's because I forgot "Save your changes". The second time it worked.

Thank you! :thumbs:
 
so, after being here @ DP for the better part of a year I came across this thread; why?

I have yet to have a single sent PM show up ................ WTF?

So, I have an observation: Why does the forum default to save all received PMs but then at the same time the forum does NOT default to save all sent PMs?

That may sound like a dumb question but no it is not.

what is dumb is having to actually select an option to save sent PMs.

The forum SHOULD have a default already set in place to save all sent PMs & allow the user to select otherwise.

The current premise is backasswards dumbassery, IMO .......................

thanks .............

Everyone has a limited amount of storage for PM's. Defaulting to save every sent PM would fill up that space rather quickly. It is set up exactly as it should be.
