Never Mind Some Kind Souls explained it!

I am trying to send a forum member a PM to arrange to give her some egg cartons. When I send a PM, however, it never shows up in my "sent" PMs (same with emails), so I have no idea if the messages are actually being sent to her.

I have messages enabled. What am I doing wrong? Help?

Sorry to take up bandwidth with my apparent incompetence (sigh)


UPDATE
Thank you for the replies!
(Good Lord that was embarrassing)

Yes, I have the same issue. Can someone let us know what to do??

When you send a PM, there is a special check mark you have to check to save it.

I think its so people dont use up all their PM storage so fast.
