Why do I have so much trouble sending PMs? I do a submit but the message sits in the outbox instead of going to send. I have had this problem for a long time but it has gotten worse lately. I currently have three copies of the same message sitting in my outbox. Sometimes sending multiple copies of a message will do the trick.

I'm not sure but I think the most likely acronym for the problem may be PEBKAC

The message will sit in your Outbox until the recipient opens it, at which point it will show in your Sent folder.

So perhaps your real problem is that whomever you are messaging has no interest in reading what you have to say.

Scooter has it. If the person you PM does not open the PM, then it sits in your outbox.

Some of us include a "I've sent you a PM" message in a post that the recipient is participating in, just to alert them.
