Private Message Question

Someone sent me a private message but when I replied, my message was sent to the outbox and never showed up in the sent box. After I replied I hit the submit tab and did not save as a draft or anything. Also, the same thing happened when I tried to private message another user. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? Thanks in advance !!!

This is normal behavior. PMs never go directly in the sent folder, they only move there when the person has opened your message. Until then it will always remain in the Outbox.

Very much appreciated Thanks
