Topic: PM's sent..how to view old replies?

[Steve F]

When I post a reply to a message in "My Messages", is there any way for me to view what I had sent?  I just don't see any way of doing this.

View the outbox.

There's a little box you have to check to save a copy in your outbox, I've lost lots of messages that would have been handy.

I know its against the rules to share a pm in a thread, so here's a copy of the BLANK FORM (should keep me out of trouble) to show those who've never seen one and have no idea what we're discussing.

Huh....I always figured it was bad manners in most cases to share a PM...never knew that it was against the rules.

It would be great if there were a setting to make that box checked by default - an opt-out, rather than an opt-in, if you will.

[Duke McDukiedook]

You need to check your forum rules then mister.

There is...

Go to 'Personal Message Options' in your profile and check the box that say's 'Save a copy of each Personal Message in my outbox by default.'

Well how about that?

Isn't technology wonderful!?

Isn't technology wonderful!? 

Except when it's down-right evil.


(In this case, yes.  It's awesome)

I think the reason that sent messages aren't automatically saved is because they take up space on the server.  Granted, text doesn't take up much space, but some people send a lot of messages and every bit of space costs money.
