I attempted to post a PM on 6 May, and today noticed that it was still sitting in the Outbox. So I tried another PM to HansV and it is also stuck in the Outbox. Any suggestions?

Re: Private Message stuck in Outbox
I have just viewed your latest PM, so hopefully that has now left your Outbox.
I don't see another PM in my Inbox...

I believe messages stay in your "Outbox" until they have been read by the recipient.

That is correct, Leif. This is different from the way e-mail programs behave.
And if you have sent a PM to multiple recipients, it will stay in the Outbox until at least one recipient has read it. There is no way to know when ALL recipients have read it.

Thanks for looking into it - I don't remember the older software working that way, but it's been quite a long time since I used the PM function - 2015 I think.

It has always worked that way here in Eileen's Lounge. It's a feature of the forum software that we use - phpBB.
Best wishes,

You may also find that you can't read a new message sometimes - this will occur when your message count hits the limit - I think 60 messages.
