As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Cannot send private messages

Post by thedius »

Hi Guys,

I've tried sending a private message twice to BruceR but they stayed in my Outbox and never made it to the Sent items.

Thank you!

Theodore.

If they remain in your Outbox it means the recipient hadn't read it yet.

Send me a PM so we can test.

This is the way the forum software works. Messages appear in the outbox until the recipient opens them. Once opened / read they move to Sent. In your case it means [mention]BruceR[/mention] has not opened them.
