I got an email saying I got a new PM, but there wasn't anything in my box. Any idea why? |

Zach (imnotted) and I worked this out between us
The way the private message system work is:
. You send me a private message and the message is put into your outbox
. The system sends an email to the person the PM is addressed to (me)
. When I log on and check my message your message is copied to my inbox from your outbox and moved from your outbox to your sentbox.
This means that by checking your outbox you can see if the message has been seen yet.
If you send a message and then delete it from your outbox before the person you send it to gets a chance to read it, they will get the email saying there is a message but when they retrieve their messages your message won't be there because you've deleted it. _________________ 1979 924 (Gone to a better place)
