Forum private message in sent box

Post by Woodruff »

Hi everybody,

I am trying to use the forum private message functionality, but it seems the messages I have been trying to send are stuck in "sent box".
So I fear that the recipients do not receive it.

I know this had worked before, so, do you think it is a bug? Or is this feature being deprecated? Is there any workaround?

Thanks very much for your help :)

Some forums (I believe this one is the case) marks messages in Sent box until the other person opens it. So it might not be a bug (but I never tried forum messages, as I can contact players directly from their profile page).

Thanks thoun,

Could be the case indeed. I have two messages in the sent box:
  • I just sent the last one, so if the situation is as you describe, it is likely that the recipient did not read it yet. (I cannot send that person a message directly because they seem to have blocked instantaneous sollicitations).
  • The recipient of the first message appears to have deleted their BGA account. So it is possible that they did not read my reply (they sent me a message in the first place) before leaving.
If someone from the BGA staff could confirm this I would be grateful.
In any case I will keep you posted if there is smething new.
