Private Message help?

Post by DNS »

I've just managed to thoroughly confuse myself with the PM system.

Does things in the outbox mean that those things have been sent, or are they waiting on being sent? and if it's the latter, how do i send them? X.x

Things will automatically send from the outbox, you don't need to do anything ^^ I'm not entirely sure what moves it out of there-- possibly a time frame, possibly waiting for the recipient to read it or get notified of it or what. But it'll get to the sent box automatically.

._. so what happens if you delete something from the outbox?
though it's not important. ;-; thanks.
I think i'm the only one who could've gotten themselves so confused over a thing like that.

I dunno, I've never tried deleting anything from the outbox XD Possibly it doesn't send. I know deleting things from the sent box has no effect on whether a recipient receives it. So maybe the outbox is like... a "wait I didn't want to send that yet!" box XD Or something.

Naw, I've gotten confused over the PM system before, too ^^ No worries.

o.O Considering that I had three PM's from you at one point (I hadn't looked at them because I was being lazy), and now two of them are missing, I'm assuming that deleting from the outbox means that they're removed from the recipient's inbox. *blinks* I think. Unless I was imagining seeing two other PM's!

Speaking of which! *goes to read the one that /is/ in there*

..Yay! I figured it out.
>.> Yes, i deleted them when i found the outbox... thing. ^^; I'd thought they hadn't been sending, which they hadn't for awhile. You should've had like.. five, which means you missed the first two. But now it works~
sorry for the spammage~

It seems like if you delete them from the outbox (meaning the recipient hasn't read them yet) they're gone from the recipient too. Once the person reads them it's fine. But the outbox tells you if they've been read yet, I've noticed.

I sneezed. It seems to have reshaped reality. My bad.
