Is there something I am missing in sending a private message to another member?

The message I composed seems to just sit in the outbox, indefinitely.

Is there a send button I am supposed to hit after I submit the message?

Thank for help!

It sits in the outbox until they log in and view it, I believe. I have one message in my outbox that has been there for months a year--the other user has quit the boards and I was trying to get in touch with him.

Ah. no wonder. It been sitting in the outbox since the beginning of the week...

I guess that's a bad sign.

Thanks.
