  • Is the PM feature working properly

    I've found that PM's I send do not show up in the PM sent items list until after a long delay of hours or overnight. Anyone else noticed that or have comments?

    Not sure but that's not the only thing not updating right.
    It's 1:39 pm here, this shows 'recommended procedure' thread being last updated at 11:24 am, by you, with Chuck's avatar . Actually thread was last updated by Chuck at 11:42 am

      I did some checking. My computer time is set correctly and I am in the pacific Time zone. It appears that the forum SW may be incorrectly converting the displayed time stamps to the reader's time zone.

      Two PMs that I sent about 3 hours ago have still not showed up in the PM Sent Items folder. Yesterday I sent a PM that did eventually showed up sever hours later.

        Good catch. And strange.

        At least mine and Tom's avatars aren't so dissimilar. The black knight is being rendered a Mr. Potato Head in short order and you can readily remove the limbs from Mr. Potato Head

          FWIW I've PMed a couple of times out of my time zone today. All my sent messages show and time stamps are correct.

            The times I mentioned above were all correct for my time zone. However, the 'recommended' thread in pic above only updated the avatar. It should have showed Chuck's name and time of 11:42 AM. As it was already 1:29pm when I took that screen shot, there was plenty of time for the software to do it. It should have updated that info along with the avatar anyway.

              Here is what it looks like after I posted in both the threads. Avatar changed again in lower thread but still has Tom's name and 11:24 time.
              Are you guys seeing it the same way or do I have a cookie issue?Click image for larger version

                All the avatars that I see when I browse the threads are correct.

                    Wrong avator showing has happened quite a few times before.

                      Tom, I sent a test PM and it showed up in my 'sent' immediately.

                        BTW, only new PMs show in the sent folder - not PMs added to a conversation string.

                          I replied to your PM and it showed up in my "Sent" immediately this time. However the two PMs I sent~5 Hrs ago are still not shown.

                            I'm unsure of what you mean by only new PMs show.
                            Upon reviewing my PM Sent Folder I find PM conversations that preserve a string of several back and forth messages. This is the case for both PMs that I started and that another member started with me.

                              I noticed that the preview of my last sent PM doesn't show my text but rather that of the starting mail.
