I'm trying to send a PM to another member, but it just stays in my out box and never makes it to the sent items box, so they are never getting it. Is there something wrong with this function on this site?

Message stay in the Outbox until the other person has read it, in which case the message moves to the Sent folder. :thumbsup:

As Dan said, it'll stay in the outbox until the intended recipient reads it.

Steve, who is the member you're trying to send it to? Look up his name in the MEMBERS LISTING, click on it and see when the last time he logged in was.

AFAIK the PM system is A-OK. :thumbsup:

For the younger folks here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_duplicator

This is how almost all school handouts were duplicated all the way up until around the mid 80's!

I am surprised now to learn that a ditto "master" only had a lifespan of about 500 pages.
