View the Outbox
« on: January 26, 2007, 07:32:16 PM »
Maybe I'm having a "doh!" moment, but is there anyway to view sent PMs (ie, an outbox)? I can only view my inbox. Right now I need to see what replies I have sent to people trying to keep track of what is under offer, etc.

Ali, I don't mean to be obtuse, but is your nick missing a prefix? :P

"potentially breaking".... so upgrades which are of benefit to all must be avoided on the grounds that they might, repeat might, not be well received on a highly marginalised browser...!???

@Wayne. The tone of your post seems a bit 'strident' - unsure if aimed at me, the profane person, or just general frustration; I imagine the later, as your post reveals a considerable amount of frustration over Xoops.

I didn't mean to add to it! Just wondered if there /was/ an outbox and I was having a blonde moment, or there really wasn't and it it would be nice to have one.

@others who suggested cut and paste. Yep, can do that for one or two mails. Try doing it for a damm sight more, and keeping track of whom they are too, its a labour intensive manual process, and hence heavily error prone. Exactly the task that long ago (ie real) system analysts would identify as benefiting from computer automation. Rest my case.

But in this case it isn't possible.

Ok, I didn't know that, I do now. If this is a perenial question, it might be worthwhile putting in a sticky for new users... I know I been regged on the site for 4 years, and really only active for a few months, but after a decade of using web sites which *do* have outboxes, one becomes accostomed to having an out-box.

I didn't realise the the site is A-web friendly. EAB, Aminet et al are not. As a consequence, I haven't really used the Amiga for surfing for 5+ years now, its just too slow and too "broken".

K, long winded (and hopefully unnecessary) apology over. Wayne, chill a bit
