Not tried as yet ..

Has the recipient actually received the PM do you know .. ? Perhaps its like a stored sent message ?

Hi - Jeff here (technical geek) I'm looking into this at the moment - yes they are sending AND staying in the outbox....I'll see if I can change that....

Right....

This is a 'feature' apparently!

The messages stay in your outbox to allow for editing - they only disappear from the outbox when the recipient has actually collected it....

I'm just looking into a method of changing that option - as it's very confusing..!

Thanks for that.
It's actually a clever feature, at least you know the message has been received by the recipient once it's gone from your outbox.
Sorry to those members who now have multiple pms from me :oops:

agreed - I think shrew will be informing everyone later - give it a test period, see what people think - we can always remove the feature if it proves too distracting.
