Was my PM sent out on this forum?

[baijianpeng]

Today I tried to send PM to fanno on this forum, but after I pressed the Submit button, I just see PM still in the Outbox, NOT in the Sent Message box.

I think, if the PM was successfully sent out, it should be moved to the Sent Message box.

I tried two times. Now the PMs are still in the Outbox (see attached screen shot).

What is wrong? Did I missed something?

Could someone give me some help? Thanks.

I believe it stays there until it is read by the person you sent it to.

That's exactly how it works!

Thanks to you all. Now I understand.

It is the best way to determine your message has been read or not!
