Outbox Messages
I am sorry, I didn't have time to search the forum for an answer to this question because I am at work. I have had this problem ever since the last forum. Messages sit in my outbox and don't send. I have 5 in there right now, one is from July 9th. I am not confusing my outbox with sentbox, because some messages get through...even if they are sent after ones that are already in there. Does anyone know why I have this problem? Am I flooding the system too much?
Less gaming as I get older.

Lower rating? You ship first.
Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

Re: Outbox Messages
Eric, are you being obstinate?
I did have a time where I left a message in my outbox for a couple of months. By then I came to terms with the fact that the douchebag (Thanks Ancientsociety) wasn't going to read my trade proposal.
Yeah, it blows to sit there and look at a message that should've at least been read. Let alone getting a reply.
I think from here on in, if a trader won't at least reply to a PM, I will just put them in my FOES list and I can act like THEY don't exist.
Grrrrr...

Nah. I just don't see a reason to delete them. They're just... "there." They're not in my way.
There is ONE guy, though... Named ORKLORD (Note: this is NOT Orclord... Orclord's a good guy) that shows up every year or 2 looking to scam some people. Now, there's a PM to HIM there that, if he ever decides to come back, I want him to see to know I won't forget him... Other than that, it's not me being obstinate. It's me not caring. LOL It taked, like, 10 seconds to delete a PM... I could be writing posts in the forums during those 10 seconds.

My oldest is from Wed Apr 12, 2006 3:51 pm, so a little over two years. It's to a guy who backed out of a trade with no word. I should report him as a deadbeat just for funsies. I think i've got the message history quoted in the PM for proof. Maybe i'll wait til the three year anniversery. : )MagickalMemories wrote: They move to the Sent Box once the recipient reads them.

I follow the generally accepted practice that the person with the lower rating ships first.

Anyway... Who else has some old PMS sitting in their Outbox?
Come on, folks. What's your oldest?
