PM's?

How long does it take to go from OutBox to sent when PM'ing other forum members?

As far as phpBB software is concerned, the answer is zero. Messages in the OutBox have not been opened by the recipient. When they open it, it will be sent.

Gotcha,
Just wasn't sure how it worked as most sites send the message right away.
Thnx

Perhaps other words might have been chosen in English. The message has been "sent" immediately (meaning that it's in their inbox) but that happens to have a status called "outbox" and the "sent" status means "opened"

Hardware configuration: We always run folding under linux, as it never seems to have a detrimental effect upon the system.

I just don't trust Windows that much, but we'll see about running folding under it some soon.

I agree with Bruce. The nomenclature is not intuitive, and in fact counter to what email programs commonly use for folder names. I kept thinking something was not quite right with my account, and had to search for this thread to reassure myself that my message had indeed been sent.
