I'm sure Brayden can confirm this, but on another forum I frequent, A PM will sit in your outbox until the recipient logs in, NOTICES it and reads it... I'm sure this site works the same way. In the configuration options for each user is the opportunity to set up a pop-up window to advise if there is a PM waiting, but I guess some people either have it turned off, or have a pop-up blocker that intercepts it, and then don't look, so aren't aware you're trying to communicate with them...

As a sender it's very frustrating. That's also why in the forum threads you'll often see someone mention they've sent a PM to someone else...

Hope that clarifies things for you...! :)

this is true, sits in outbox until the guy reads it.

it will also send an email to the guy telling him he has a new pm
