Post Message delay

I have received some e-mails recently from some off my forum members, saying that the PMs they are sending are staying in the outbox for up to 4 hours. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or know of a fix.

Regards
Pete

Hello @Peter59,

I think your problem is about our new improvement in the private messages read more: "Mark PM as read / unread"

I'm not seeing any red boxes..

Did you modify the templates as the above post tutorial says?

The question is has the receiver exactly read the PM.  Only after the receiver reads the PM will it be moved to the sentbox.

Hi. Yes modified template.
SLGray the issue is. There not leaving the outbox? So the receiver has received them.

Sorry hasnt received them!

Please don't double post. Your posts need to be separated by 24 hours before bumping. Please use the edit button, instead! Please read our forum rules:  ESF General Rules

Almost to all your topics you are double or triple posting 
This is your 1st official reminder

Where is the edit button. ?

Hello,

The edit button is the little blue button in the top right that looks like a pencil:


As for your issue, it's not really an issue at all. When you send a pm, it will stay in the outbox until the member you sent the message to opens it and reads it. At that point the message moves to the 'Sent box'

This is how the system has always worked. So it is not a bug or a problem.

Thank im only see like and dislike buttons.

Is it because I'm using a phone and not a computer?

Please start a new topic for this issue.  Also post a screenshot of what you see while using the mobile device.

Is the issue in the first post solved?

Issue not solved. Screen shot of what im seeing mobile phone view.

I dont know why posts are doubling up. I'm only posting once.

Exactly what is in the menu that the 3 dots to the right represent?

Screen shot.

In the top 3 dot menu is there an option to switch to desktop version?

All km getting is Google,copy, Select all, Share.

I'm back home tomorrow, I'll try on the laptop.

You can also view the forum from 'classic' or 'desktop' version and then your phone will display the computer version. You should be able to toggle it from the menu at the top.

Anyway is your issue regarding pms being delayed solved? As I explained what your members describe is perfectly normal.

Wait a minute!  Are you talking about PM's or posts in topics?  Your topic title seems to refer to posts in topics.

Apologies for confusion. PM Private Messages.

Outbox: This contains all PMs that you have sent already, but that have not been read yet. A message in the Outbox is already sent, it just waits to be read by the recipient. Once read, the message goes to the Sentbox. So you can exactly say, which messages have been noted already and which haven't.
