Hi.
I received a PM. I wrote a reply in the quick reply form. I hit submit.
The page reloaded, the message disappeared and was not sent. I was still logged in.
I've just tried this again. Same result.
I cannot reply to PMs. There is no indication this is so, and submitting a reply leads to it being silently wiped.
It's not clear which sub-forum to post about this, and this seemed most appropriate.
Using a recent Firefox on Linux, cookies on.

If I recall correctly, the default forum setting is to not save sent messages, so it's possible your messages are being sent and you just have no record of this.
This setting can be modified via:
Edit Profile -> General Settings -> Sent Private Messages -> "Save a copy..."
*facepalm*
So there's a sent folder, and when you send a PM there's no message that it's been sent, and after sending - and just seeing the message disappear with no ack - the sent folder is empty.
That it was made in this way, and that it has presumably been like this for years...!
Thankyou BTW! :-)
I guess I was just wrong assuming things worked without "yes we did it" pages appearing.
The only way you're really sure a PM mattered to someone is if they reply.
You're welcome. I remember encountering this myself years ago, which is why I suspected it might be the problem.
