Title: Seeing my sent PMs??
Post by: Tom1958 on December 02, 2020, 04:45:24 PM
I've gone round and round trying to see the previous PM that I sent to reply to a PM sent to me. When I click on "my messages", I can see my inbox but I cannot find my out box. I love Trad gang but this site is not exactly user friendly when compared to a few other forums.
How do I see my outbox?

Click on my messages,and scroll down to see sent messages. Click on it and if it's darker than the rest it means it's unread. I just looked it's right under your inbox.

Nope  it is not working.
In fact, my message page says that I have indeed replied to the initial message but there is NOWHERE that I can click that shows what my response was...that's crazy. What if I needed to edit something or add something based on what I could refer upon in my earlier response?? A complete chain of interactions should show without jumping thru hoops.
I sent another PM to test if things were working...I still cannot see my replies. This is crappy. Every other forum I am on makes viewing PMs easy.I can see in box, but my outbox is invisible.

And lo and behold...all of a sudden my sent message finally shows. It hasn't shown for several days regardless of what I click upon and yeah, I tried everything.

It must be magic, because due to the privacy act, no one can access your PMs but you, so nothing was done by any TG Admin or Mod to view or fix your PM issue(s).

If it happens again, you would need to allow me access to your profile - essentially, I would need to temporarily change your password and login as you.  Be glad to help if it happens again.

Thanks. I have no idea if it was magic or not. I do consider myself somewhat adept at maneuving thru forums and I did not jump the gun on this. I tried unsuccessfully for 3 days to see my sent message. I clicked on everything possible and did so on 2 devices with 2 different browsers.
Its a mystery.

Tom, glad things are working now.

Sometimes computers have a mind of their own.

Maybe clear your history and cookies next time if the problem persists to see if that helps.

In the future don't hesitate to contact tg administrators for help, that's what we are here for.

Please continue to enjoy the site.
