What happens exactly when you attempt to send a PM? Thanks.

You were having this issue before. You and I tested this previously by sending PMs to each other. At the time I thought the issue might be resolved because the PMs seemed to be going through okay.

This is a tricky one to track down, so I'm going to ask some more questions to see if your answers give me any clues:

Does this seem to be happening when you are sending new PMs, or when you are replying to PMs? Or both? If both, would you say more one than the other? Or about the same?

Also, when you say the screen clears, do you mean you get a blank page, or are you sent back to your Inbox, or are you sent back to the "Send DU Mail to..." page with the Subject and Message boxes blanked out? Or something else?

Finally, just to make sure, this is a link to your Sent Mail page:

https://du4.democraticunderground.com/?com=inbox&folder=sent

Are you certain that the messages you send are not appearing on that page?

It only happens to original PMs in DU4 and only from the Windows 11 machine. The iPod Touch works as expected.

I am sent back to the "Send DU mail to..." etc. screen.

I am using my DU4 Sent Mail page. The messages sent from the Windows 11 laptop in DU4 are not there. The recipient does not receive them.

Glad you figured it out -- I think I can lock this as resolved for now then, thanks.
