I believe it still shows that you sent a message but there’s no content to the message, something like that.

Luls. Dat reminds me, I have some PMs to respond to. I've been awful about it the past few months.

Pretty much what the subject says. Since earlier in the week, PM's that I attempt to send just stay in my Outbox and do not send. I've tried composing fresh messages, replying to old threads, and sending offers to for sale posters, and I get the same result in all cases. Any ideas? I just want to communicate!

A PM sitting in the Outbox does not mean that it was not successfully sent. PMs in the Outbox are successfully sent but not opened yet by the receiver. If they stay that way, either the recipient is no longer on here that much (if at all) or they just aren't opening your messages.

LOL! I feel your pain, dude! Inactive accounts for sure.

Just wait until you start seeing the messages get read, but you receive no response. That time will come too!
