Flat out at work (new job) and not accessing the forum whilst at work as opposed to my previous few jobs (public service).

Was such a good PM Warra i read it 3 times! :D

Inbox wasn't full but was getting close, time to clean it out a bit.

Thank you, Oliver.

That explains it. The messages were all within the last 4 to 5 days, but I don't think drsmurto has been on any board for a few days. I think he might be away for a break.

Hi Warra,

As mentioned in my PM reply to you:

Private Messaging is set up so that after you send the message it will remain in your outbox until the recipient logs on next. This allows you a window to delete or edit messages before they're delivered, provided the recipient is not logged on.

Also, I'm not exactly clear on what happens if the recipient's inbox is full, but that could have something to do with it.

(DrSmurto, if you're reading this, is your Inbox full? Max is 50 messages across inbox, outbox and, I think, sent items.)

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Oliver

I don't know what's happening with Private Messaging.

Within the last week I've tried 3 times to reply to drsmurto, and tried to send a private message to Oliver.

I have a message when I submit that the message was sent, but then it stays in my outbox and doesn't appear in my Sent Messages.

Thus, I have no idea if it has really been sent, and why they stay in my Outbox, rather than in Sent Messages.

Is anyone able to enlighten me on this issue? What am I doing wrong, if anything?

Thanks.

I play online poker, and everyone who plays forms only the sexiest looking avatars. Me and my mate decided to go against the grain and thats what I came up with. (You should see how ugly my mates is)

Well done Warra-keep up the good work :lol:


:shock: :shock: :D :D

Slight typo with the age! Actually born in Jan 1948 ! But thanks for the thought!


So by turning the 9 upside down to make a 6, you`ve dropped 30 years and reverted to your correct age.
:shock: Nice work
:lol:

It doesn`t read right to me.


I am helping an individual to do something that would not benefit the community as a whole. Sort of like right now...

One example is all of the PM's that I sent back and forth to Ash when I bought the kegs from him, and after that when I tried a very nice Amarillo Pale Ale he sent me.

Also I have some people who message me and ask for private advice because maybe they are too afraid to look silly on the main forum? Not sure... but it happens...

And here I was waiting for you to send me a message :roll: :wink:
