It's like watching a car wreck. You don't want to get arrested, but begin to salivate at the aroma of the burning carcasses.

I've noticed recently that a number of PM's aren't being sent properly for some reason. I've never been a huge user of the PM system, so I'm not well acquainted with any issues it has, but recently I've been running a contest in a private group that has meant I've been receiving and sending a lot of PM's - but not all of them have gone through properly. In fact, it seems my current success rate isn't much higher than 50%. I'm just wondering if this is a known issue or if there's a known fix/cause for this.
I still get the 'private message sent successfully' message or whatever when I send a PM, but it's become increasingly clear that not all of them are being received. So yeah.

I sometimes have a 1 that says I have an unopened message, when I click it and view the message it stays as if its unread for a while :/

Sometimes, if you've been using the PM system recently, the number of unread messages doesn't update, it says you have "0" unread messages, regardless of the amount waiting in your inbox.

So I think you might want to advise your group to manually check their inbox once in a while...

No, that's not the issue because I have checked with people and they haven't received anything. Plus someone claimed to have sent a PM to me that I don't have anywhere in my inbox and I don't see why they'd lie about sending it.

Sounds like an interesting bug...

Could you be hitting the anti-spam filter?

What we REALLY need is a sent message section... I recently had a user accuse me of sending him inappropriate things because I told him to stop whining about a ban... Its difficult to prove you are innocent when you can't show your sent messages... Mods figured it out though, he is banned, I am not. Job well done.

Well I have been sending messages in relatively quick succession, but it says that the message has been sent successfully each time.

Mind if I send you two test messages right after each other, to see if I get an anti-spam error message, and if you receive both of them?

I've sent both messages within the same second. No apparent problems from my end.

Ah yes, I only received one. So I suppose the spam filter must still be in place, but it doesn't come up with an error message.
I guess I'll just have to space out my messages a bit in the future. Thanks for that, mate.

So I guess if anyone form Bungie sees this - try and make it so it tells you when you've sent a message too quickly!
