Various types of PM?
Hi Paul, could you explain the differences between sending a PM from my PM message area and sending it by clicking on the OPs name, then either sending a PM or e-mail.
In the latter case I seem not to get a record in my PM sent box, is this correct? Ed |

Re: Various types of PM?
Whichever way you send a PM it should be in your sent folder. If you send an email through the forum it won't be stored here anywhere.

Re: Various types of PM?
Ok Paul, thanks for that, but I had a suspicion that PM "direct to members were not being stored. I'll look more closely next time.

Re: Various types of PM?
It uses the same page and code, it's just a different way of getting there, so it should be stored the same way. It would be useful if someone can confirm though.

Re: Various types of PM?
My experience has been that, as you say, the function is the same regardless of the route taken to get there. I've never encountered a PM not being stored.

Re: Various types of PM?
Same here. It works either way.
Ed, I'll send you two PMs to confirm you get them both. Done.

Ed's confirmed that both worked OK.
