I wrote a PM several days ago and clicked to send it. Now my outbox shows 1 message in it. Has it been sent or not? If not, is there anything I can do to make it send?

Re: PM Stuck in Outbox for Several Days
The Outbox in Eileen's Lounge works differently than the one in email programs.
If a private message is in the Outbox, it means that the recipient hasn't yet opened it in the Lounge. Once they have opened it, the message will be in your Sent messages folder.
If you send a message to multiple Loungers at once, it will move to your Sent messages folder as soon as one of the recipients has opened it.
Note: if the recipient has enabled email notification of private messages, they may have read your message in the notification. That does not cause the message to be moved to your Sent messages folder.

Thanks, Hans!
That info would make a good addition to FAQ.
