      Can anybody tell me what’s going on here? I received a notification from WGA saying that I have a private message. When I click on private messages on the left, it shows that I have no messages. I have also sent a couple of messages and when I check my out box, there is nothing there. I appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you.

        the sender deleted the message before you read it…

                I guess if this keeps happening, I’ll know who to point the finger at.

                    Yes, you can edit or delete a private message that is in your Outbox. If it is in your Outbox it indicates that the person has not yet picked up the message. After the person reads the message it is moved to your Sentbox, where a limited number (100?) of the past messages you sent are stored.

                    If this gets too annoying, I can disable the ability to make changes like this. Maybe we should have it so you can edit but not delete messages after they are sent? (That way you would at least know who was jerking your chain… ;))

                      Awe come on what fun would that be?

                      Personally I like the cushion. Sometimes I need a second chance to reflect a bit and retract that hateful and obnoxious email I sent to someone who may or may not have needed a lashing….actually sometimes what was relevant when an email was sent is no longer relevant by the time the intended recipient gets around to opening the message…so deleting the message seems like the lesser of two evils.

                      …plus as an added bonus it makes people nuts.
