Can anyone help me? I keep trying to reply to questions about items I'm selling, but all of the (5 messages) are stuck in outbox purgatory. Any ideas what the issue is? Yes, my computer is plugged in...

They remain in the Outbox until the recipient opens them. They might actually read them if they're set up to receive new message notifications by e-mail, but the messages will still show up in your Outbox until they're marked as read through the forum software.

PM PROBLEM..........................................

yup. I've been trying to discipline myself to ipen and purge them from the inbox tho, and sending at least an acknowledgment of receipt.

Ah, thanks for the responses! So, it sounds like the take away message is that if I see messages in my outbox, the recipients haven't read it yet. Please correct me if I interpreted that wrong. If I'm correct, then some people who shall remain nameless need to open my messages...I've got guns to buy and sell! Come on people!

That's correct ...

Remember...we ll lead different lives, so, not everyone is on here as frequently as you might be. Some travel for work, some work long hours, etc., ...

Sometimes, a buyer is looking at 4 or 5 things, so while you're focusing on your items for sale intently, they're just sending out feelers,r requests for more info...

Lastly, you can always click on their profile, and usually see when they last logged on...not everyone has thir PMs tied to their email, so they may not even know yet that there's a response...

There are folks on here from 17 to 85, and everyone handles PMs & the Internet differently...

There's even a guy that lives way up in Index, Wa, that has to wait for the Pony Express....

Patience, is a virtue....
