I have tried to see the PM's that I've sent to others but there is nothing in the sent box. I know I've sent lots of PM's. Where are they hiding?

I guess you've already looked in the "Folders" section of the PM screen? My Forum features have been wonky all week: "marked as reads" going crazy, sends duplicating, features not working quite right. Looks like might be some IT issues going on...hopefully they'll sort out in a few days. I wonder if trying a different browser might help? 

You have a setting in your control panel to automatically save sent items and at the bottom of each PM you send there's a button you can check that says something like, 'save a copy to my sent items folder'.  If neither of these are done you wont have a saved copy.  There's no guarantee either of the above methods will work, either.  Checking the button has always worked for me when I remember to do it.  If the person answers you back your message will usually be there, quoted in the reply to you.

You have to 'save a copy' before you send.
Just found a message from you, responding soon.

yeah... not a practical way of archiving PMs ;-/

Just so you know, saving copies will fill up your PM box faster than if you don't.  Only save the important ones, and don't forget to delete your sent when you delete the inbox stuff after a transaction is done.

It grows really fast and when it's 100% full, you can't get any more PM's.  I keep mine 85% full.

Well I can't find where to automatically save sent items but if it uses up space in the in box then I don't want that. I just was wondering if I was crazy, 'cause who ever heard of and in box without a sent box too?

That confused me at first too, but once I figured out to check the save a copy box it has been fine!
