I have 5 old messages in my 'out' box ; does that mean the are not read ?

I discovered I do not get a message in my regular mailbox from the forum,
that there is a message, only a reminder on top of the forum..

Who knows how this works and can this be fixed ?

If the message is still in your outbox then it hasn't been read by the recipient.
Once it has then it will appear in the "sent" section.
You should get an email on your supplied email address every time you receive a private message on here.
You probably need to check your user control panel.
Go into "Board preferences" then "Edit notification options".
Make sure the email box is ticked for "someone sends you a private message"

Hi Dan,
I see you have been online several times since I posted the reply above.
Has this solved your issues?

Hi Phil, yes I found it now and set the options to what I'm used to as 'standard' settings from other forums. Thing is : I don't see the notifications that appear on top of the home page as I simply jump directly from the email I get about a subscribed topic, to that page. So even if I have been on the forum, I don't see that page. Only if I stay longer and check new treads, then I see it... .. mystery solved ?

Thanks for the explanation, but I suggest to reset the standard setting to 'notify me by email when I have a message' , given the 5 messages n my out-box which have nevder been read... I am not the only one who doesn't know one has to activate this..

:)

Hi I am having the same problem as above. Do I just wait until the recipient reads the P.M & then it changes to sent messages.
