I have tried tp PM somebody and messages are going to outbox instead of sentbox. Is this like MS Outlook where outbox holds unsent drafts?

A message in the outbox has been sent to the recipient, but it sits in your outbox until the recipient reads it; then it goes to the sentbox automatically.

Flat view is the way this software was intended to be used; you read by topics rather than by indented threads. We cobble together a thread view becuase so many people missed it when we left WebBBS, but in my opinion flat view is better and more powerful once you get used to it.BBCode is the function that allows you to pase font colors, active URLS, image tags, and other formatted content into your post instead of just plain text. It is turned on for everyone by default.
