Title: "My Messages" location ???
Post by: GlennSprigg on June 14, 2018, 01:26:12 pm
I know how to Send a personal message to someone, and after selecting "My Messages"
at the top, I can see all my 'responses', as in an "InBox" list......
However, I can NOT find a way to display the likes of an "OutBox", for what I've sent ????

Do you mean "sent items"?

In your account settings, in a pop up menu "Modify Profile" button, there is a section for "Personal Messaging" with a checkbox for "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default". It isn't checked by default. Maybe it needs to be checked before there actually is a "sent items". Mine is not checked and I cannot find a "Sent items" anywhere.

I have that setting checked....
"Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default"
However, I see NO options anywhere to display an 'OUTBOX' or 'SENT' ???
My only options under "My Messages" are....
  "Read My Messages" , and
  "Send a Message".....

1. Click on "My Messages".
2. Hover over "Messages" and you will see three options
3. Click on "Sent Items" for your 'Outbox'.

Hi Brumby ....  I did that, after verifying that I have the option set in my 'Settings' to place
a copy in my 'Outbox'. Upon hovering the Mouse over "Messages", all I see is ???......

Click that "My Messages" instead of just mouse over. That will take you to the messages page. There, look to the left just under the advertisements. You will see another button called Messages. Mouse over that one.

Yea, sorry Brumby....   It didn't 'click' in my 'brain', that after "My Messages", there was
another selection for "Messages", after the Advertisements, and without the word 'My'....
Thanks...
