I sent a PM this morning to someone and went back to check a little while later and it was in neither my outbox nor my sentbox. It just kind of disappeared. What happened?

The only time I've seen that happen is if we have database corruption, or a database backup gets restored. I'm not aware of either happening today.

Never happened to me

did you actually send it? Maybe you closed the browser by mistake?

I was thinking about that - that maybe I previewed it and then just clicked to something else. Oh well - question answered. I'll just have to be more careful in future.

Thanks D

If the other person deletes it, can you still see it?

That's actually more common than you think. It's happened to me more times than I can count. ;)
