This is not a complaint (really). It just seems to be taking hours for messages to leave my outbox. I am getting notifications but again the message ones seem to take a long time to arrive. I know this was mentioned before somewhere but I can't find it now.

Just a quick update, I had 2 messages in the outbox all afternoon. The first has now gone. The second one I wrote at 2.56 on Wednesday and it's now 20.27 and it's still there. And its now 8.24 a.m. on Thursday and it still hasn't left.

Also I'm one hour behind you and wonder why that is. I am in the same country after all.

Hi nickie, this is quite a common question on phpbb forums. Messages will stay in your outbox until they are read - then they move to the sent folder. This is so that you'll know when someone has read your message.

I see - I'm just used to TTLG methods. Thanks for the explanation. I'll ask the recipient to read it then.

I'm sure I now remember reading that here - is it in a FAQ. Mmmm. I don't really know my way around this forum very well!!

And now I think about it, it's really useful knowing whether a pm has been read/received or not.

Ah, I added it to the FAQ a while ago, then when the forum software was updated the FAQ amendments were lost and forgot about that bit!
