[Q] Messages on XDA aren't sending?

For some reason every time I send a message on XDA, they dont seem to be sending as they dont appear in my sent messages box at all. What could the problem be?

Same here man, the last 2 I`ve sent ar`nt there...

Same here, no messages at "Sent items" at all. Forum admins, please fix this one!
P.S. Hola, admins?!! We found a huge bug on XDA, how should I inform the responsible person?

Guys, this is not a bug in the system it is a User set option.
Go to User CP on the bar near the top of forum pages, choose Edit Options and then scroll down to the option to save sent messages in your sent messages folder.
ie User CP>Edit Options
NB for all those posting above, I have set the option to save messages. You don not need to follow the above instruction, though you might find other interesting options on that page

[Q] about xda forum private messages

where i can find sented messages ?

..

Folder ControlsSent Items contains 0 messages.
You have 5 messages stored, of a total 2,000 allowed
why is empty ?

There is a setting in the preferences somewhere that allows you to save a copy of all sent items by default. Otherwise you have to tick a box underneath the Message box before you send each one to store it.
Your messages are now gone, but you can ask the users you sent them to to quote it back for you, if they still have it.

[Q] Private Messages - Sent Items

I wanted to help a few people with a solution about the google 2-step verification but since I can't post in developers forums (I'm new around here) I tried to send a private message. The problem is that, after sending the message, when I go to "Private Messages/Sent Items" it is empty
Is that normal?

In your User Control Panel down the left-hand side, you will see 'Edit Options'. In there is an option to 'Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default'. You will need to select it and save to retain all your sent messages

How do i know my private messages were sent?!

Hello,
I've sent few PM but in "sent box" there's nothing! I don't see them anywhere. So how can i know they were indeed sent?
Thanks.

Send me one, and I'll tell you.

Done! Just check now.

He received my message and i got his answer, still, my sent message is not in "sent box"... This means you can't know if someone got your message unless he answer it... Bad! Please fix this.

Sent Messages
I am running into the same thing. I sent out two private messages but my SENT folder is zero....

Sorry for bumping in this, seems the problem's still here.
I tried to send a reply to a pm, but it wouldn't be found in the "sent" folder.
Seeing from this thread that the replies are being sent, I'm sure the guy will report me for spamming or something. :silly:
Is it because the '10 posts rule' or a problem in general?

see the date..
if that show above message, that is sent (my opinion)

What do u mean..??

Edit your profile and check "store sent messages" (or something like this)
By default sent private messages are not stored
I mean in Control panel/Settings and Options/Edit Options
Check "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent items folder by default"

Hi,
I think your messages are well sent but to make sure you would need to check a few settings in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
First off you need to make sure private messaging option is enabled (see my 1st attached screenshot).
Then, once this done, you have 2 ways of saving sent PMs:
- 1st method is to tick a checkbox each time before sending private message (see my 2nd attached screenshot)
- 2nd method (recommended one) is to enable the auto-save sent private messages in the sent items option (see my 3rd attached screenshot).
Hope it helps.

Big thanks. But why this Option was put off? I never tweak at this point. **** happens know it will work. Thanks
