I think that's why no one replied...
The answer is yes, when you send a PM it will sit in your out box until it is read by the intended recipient.
When that happens, it vanshes from the out box and hopefully the person will reply and all is well.
What has been happening (I got this from Andy as a passing comment) is that when something happend to the site i.e. it got hacked a while back or he does something that doesn't quite work, 'they' use a backed up version of the site / forum. So, if at the point in time that the messageboard was backed up you had a few messages in the out box and they were read and deleted, they will appear to re-appear. Does that make sense ?
Oh yeah - for shore !!!
