Hey team,

Should I be able to see history of PMs in outbox? I have sent 3 PMs and do not see anything in my outbox. I did get the message sent confirmation each time. Thank you Admins!

I think out box is for messages not read yet. Look in your sent messages

Confession - I only figured that out myself within the last couple weeks and
I've been an admin here since the forum started. :lol:

Yup eventually you learn a pm isn't actually "sent" but sits in your "Output" area till the recipient actually "picks it up".
You can edit the message while its in the output area too which has come in handy cause sometimes things change after you composed the message.
But once the recipient is notified about the message and opens it then it is removed from the originator's output folder.

This is boring info but useful if you want to see the status of the message. Maybe itll save someone some time.
On a mobile, there is a menu button icon, 3 downward pointing arrows in a button, on the upper left side below the header. After you open that menu click "User Control Panel" and you can find the "Output" area.
On a PC the "User Control Panel" button is in the upper left corner. From there you need to go to the "Overview" drop down and select "Private Messages" and from the next screen click the "Compose Message" dropdown and then you can see the "Output". Maybe theres a better shortcut that someone knows?

Not boring info at all, very useful! Much appreciated.
