    Is it normal for sent items not to be shown on the messages list ? I sent one this morning and I don't know whether the person received it. Also, immediately after I'd pressed the send button it was indicated I wasn't logged in but prior to that I was definitely logged in.

    Hi Geoffrey,
    First of all, when you log in next time, remember to tick the little box by the log-in details that's marked 'Remember Me'. If you don't do this, then your session will log you out after 15 minutes.

    Next, the PM system is totally private so it won't show on any register of posts or the activity stream. You'll have a record of it in your 'Outbox' though.

    I think Darren sent me a PM about the croft yesterday, which is yet to arrive.

    Hi Chris! It's been my understanding from using other vbulletin-based forums over the years, that a number of straightforward avenues exist for forum admins to access members PMs (some links here). Perhaps things have changed, but my assumption has always been that PMs over a forum are never totally private.

    I can't comment - to the best of my knowledge, what I've said is correct.
    For the purposes of the OP, it is correct that there is no public record of PMs being sent or received.

    Sorry to be a pain Chris but I can't see my 'Outbox' I've got 'Sent items' which shows nothing when clicked.
