Anyone know what the outbox is?

hi
You can't PM yet until you have three approved posts. Post twice more, I will approve, then PM Teezer or Marc

ann, I sent a message to our systems guy to get a hold of you. Let me know if it hasn't happened by Wednesday (we're all volunteers, so sometimes it takes a while).

MarcR, Teezer, where's the "Help" files for the features?

I can't even find the link to tell us what forum software is being used here.

I'm not aware of any built-in "Help" features. Currently we are running phpBB v3.1. A user guide is available here.

Hi! I'm new here and I want to know how to change my user name. I thought it was just to be used for registering and now it appears to be my user name for the forums. Can anyone help me with this?

Ann, I have temporarily authorized your account to alter its username. To do so, visit your account settings, edit the Username, populate Current password, and click Submit.

Ah, phpBB. Thanks.

I just sent a PM. This PM is now in my OB and not my SB.
If anyone has any clue what any of this means PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I believe the message stays in the outbox till the recipient reads it. Then it gets transferred to the sent folder. I also think the message can be edited, deleted & etc in the outbox prior to the recipient reading it.

Yep. That's a phpBB feature (based on the way e-mail used to be done) and not a bug.

It has the reputation of being "useful yet not intuitive."

Thank you MarcR and SusanJ! It worked!
