I wrote my first private message to a member and afterwards I thought it would show up in the 'outbox' but nothing is there.

Is that normal?

Where did my message go?

Hopefully it has been sent.

To anyone viewing my posts and finding missing/broken links to a website called www.needanother.co.uk, I still own the domain but recently cancelled my server (saving £30/month) so even though the domain address exists, it points nowhere.  I hope to one day sort something out but for now - sorry!

Sadly, the default setup of this feature of the forum is that if you want to save a copy in your "Outbox" you need to check a little radio button saying so   alien

To make it even stupider, it's easily missed at the bottom of the page you compose the message on, below the send button  (so most people stop reading at that point and miss it entirely).

The worst part is that I never found a way to change the default behaviour, or to move the button up higher.

Sorry you lost the message, but you may be able to view it by using your browser's back button.  I have had to do that a few times, and it works on firefox - not sure about other browsers.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info and after looking for a few minutes more, I have found the option that needs to be checked.

Shame it's not a configurable option but maybe that's for the best, depending on how many messages get sent.

Glad you found it, Simon   afro

Just for future reference of anybody having this issue, here's a screenshot of the button:
