Why can't I PM?

[pwatk]

Everytime I try to PM someone it just sits in my outbox.

Is there any reason for this and is anyone else having this issue?

PM works fine for me. Can anybody else confirm this issue?

i read this, so i try sent a PM to thenktor.
so it get into the Outbox, and stayed for 30 minute.
now i type this on forum.

to thenktor, if you do not read any PM from me, then it confirm PM does not work from me also.

Got PM from wayne.

@ pwatk: Please send me a PM, too.

(from my experience at the phpBB powered forums so far)

When User X sends a PM to User Y, the message sits on the Outbox Page of User X.
When User Y is clicking on the message, only then this message will disappear from
the Outbox Page of User X and will appear in the Sent messages Page of User X.

(Even if I'd never got any PM from anyone, at this forum, I'd answer to this post)

I recommend to test this in an interactive chat like the IRC or Jabber room of SaliixOS.

I totally agree with the explanations of zAchAry.

Then it's not a bug, it's a feature

You learn something everyday

Thanks everyone.

ah ha
i also learn something today.. so it is a PULL system on PM rather than PUSH system.
