Hi Folks,

I've been a member here for a little bit, have created a couple threads before and replied to some comments here and there.

I was recently sent a PM by another member and tried to reply, but my message appears stuck in the Outbox, not moving to Sent.

Further, in trying to reply to an existing topic today, I noticed various buttons but none for Reply.

Is something amiss with my account, perhaps?

Thanks,

- wader

PM's stay in the Outbox until the recipient reads them... Then moves to the Sent box.

As for Replying to Topics... There should be a dialog box at the bottom of the page.
If there isn't the Topic might be Locked or you may not be Logged-in.

If the Topic is in "The Vault" you cannot reply to them.

Thanks very much for the Outbox explanation.

As for the dialog, it seems that my browser was showing me as a guest within topics, but not on the main Forum view. Odd, but I've since cleared all my cookies and re-logged in, which seems to be working again (i.e., witness this reply).

Appreciate your reply.
