I received an e-mail claiming I had received a Private Message - I enjoy PMs - I get so excited to see who wants info privately!
But when I logged on - I didn't have any new PMs. So . . . if someone sent me one recently - I didn't get it.
Anyone else ever experience this?

Joshie - I couldn't have said it better myself... seriously.
Do you run one of these phpBB forums?

Anyhow, while the PM is in your Outbox waiting for the recipient to read it, you can actually delete it. If you do, then the recipient will never see it.
So maybe what happened is this: Someone sent you a PM, which triggered the email notification, but then deleted the PM before you had a chance to go to the forum and read it.

PS One other tip: While a pending PM is sitting in your Outbox waiting to be read by the recipient, you can also edit it, if you want to.
LOL What Joshie said. It was me. Sorry to get you excited only to let you down. Would you like me to send you another pm explaining it? If so, I promise not to retract it.
