PM system - various questions

With the current PM system... if you send a message to a FTer that has an issue with this account and/or inbox for messages, is it safe to assume that the board software will advise the sender of this situation in some way?

Also, was there a recent change in the board software and/or PM system software (recent meaning sometime during 2008) that could have lead to messages being lost, or not delivered...?

Thank you.

Do you have the receipt notification activated (should be active by default) if so you should be able to find out if the recepient got/read your PM here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/private.php?do=trackpm

The forum software upgrade should not have resulted in any lost private messages.

i thought that feature was disabled . when i click on your link, i get:

I believe only mods have this feature. (We need the ability to see if a member has read a message we have sent.)
