Can't see 'sent' private messages

Hi

I can see my 'received' pms but can't see the above.

Can you sort please.

Thanks

Hi Tigerandahalf,

You will need to have this setting enabled in your User Control Panel: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions. Under Private Messaging, you should see "When sending private messages the forum can make a copy of the message in your Sent Items folder." Please ensure that the checkbox is ticked and any PM that you send should be saved from this point on. You will have to bear in mind that saved sent PMs will count towards your total PM allocation.

Can I ask why this isn't turned on by default. I only discovered it recently and it really makes previous pms conversations a bit useless without being able to see both sides of the conversation. I get you don't want to be storing huge amounts of messages but I still think it should really be turned on by default and just warn a user when they are close to limit. I've never seen any other messaging system which doesn't store sent messages.

I believe it's mainly to make sure people don't use up their allocation rapidly, but I'll pass your suggestion along.
