.....Nothing I've sent has been in my sent box but it appears to be being received by those I've sent to.

Hi Savvybuyer,
This used to perplex me, until I discovered that my messages didn't automatically show in my SENT box unless I specifically ticked the appropriate box each time.

I don't know if there is anything in Settings which which automatically save every sent message to the sent box?

But what I have to do is after writing the reply ( but before sending) scroll down and you will see a box to tick to save copy of reply to sent box.

Im still having problems with my PMs, I've sent 3 now but still nothing in my sent box

Savvybuyer: you got my 2nd PM but not my 1st one. I replied with a 3rd to tell you what had been in my 1st but again its not in my sent box.

My original PM was a reply to a post that I was unsure if I was allowed to say on the forum. Maybe I'm not allowed to say in PM either but myself and others have now said this before in this thread. Anyway its not really that important what I wanted to say but I'm just a bit confused now about why my sent box is empty :huh:

Are your options set to save your sent messages?

In the user CP, under settings and options click on "edit options".
Then in the private message bit, the last option is "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default"

You will need to make sure this is checked to have them saved.:D

I was curious too, as to who started it and have just found this thread from 2007:eek::eek:with wombling in it:T

I wonder should one trace it back, would we find some remote scene, with a huge T carved in stone and a caveman pretending not to be stooping for a pebble.

Probably why shoelaces were invented.

Not that I am suggesting any of you are that old.

Thank you Mrs Bartolozzi,

You have answered my question in my 2nd paragraph.

And now all my replies will be saved to my Sent Box by default.
Thank you.

Just making it into being part of the morning crew

Jigsaw puzzle got my attention again, had to be put to one side once Christmas festivities began.

Debating whether to go out bargain hunting later today, or just to stay at home and keep warm.

Wombled a 45 pointer at T's..... ....then saw date on receipt was 15/12 ... input into PP, and now got 60p from it

Hope everyone has a good day today.

Sains prices have changed, is it usually a price change day that things glitch?

Sorry for not answering your specific question earlier, for fear of showing up a lack of knowledge on my part, but I've now decided to answer it anyway (I'm not quite yet the expert I should be on glitches).

In what way does it or might it glitch? I thought it was more a Saturday thing than a 'price-change day' thing, but the experts on here on these things may be able to tell us more.

I've had one before where a product due to change in price at a rival that day was showing OOS (out of stock) for the rival on MSM but the product still compared to that price. I don't really think this sort of thing is a glitch, in the sense that you could have bought the same item the previous day (when it showed in stock) and obtained the same effective price. It doesn't normally allow us to save even more.

It's more likely that (if an offer's expiring) the product will compare at the new full price if bought on changeover day rather than to the offer price. So I'd normally avoid changeover day.

I said an 'OOS' on change-over day doesn't normally allow us to save more. Except that in my case it did - since the item was part of one of my £40 shops and I therefore had a £5 off. It was at the same price at both stores the day before I shopped (the day before the offer at the rival expired). On the day of my shop, changeover day, the price where I bought it rose up by over a pound - allowing me to reach the £40 sooner and without buying more - it remained at the offer price, but showing as OOS, for the competitor. But it still compared, now at higher price where I bought it - and a better chunk of the £40 - to the offer price even though it had an asterisk on MSM.

I think this may be a 'local' thing, sometimes it's OOS for us but not on someone else's MSM. On this occasion however it was showing OOS when signed out but showing as N/A for the rival when signed in. Weird.

Hence the 'risk' I decided to take. This was also the reason I missed the half price on the Flash wipes in W and thought it was M's price. MSM kept showing the full price for W when I was signed in (which is when I add items onto my various lists, as you can't do it signed out). I missed it until I saw a comparison on here - then logged out and found the half price at W expiring too soon!!

It's nothing to do with glitches though. I thought changeover day was more a risky day than a glitch day, but I may be wrong! Someone can enlighten us. In the meantime, if I may also reply - rather belatedly and probably irrelevant now - to a recent poster who said the glitches of the 31st Dec would definitely work on 1 Jan as no-one would be working in MSM, I think this might not be correct - as I thought the MSM prices are obtained by an overnight computer scanning (which might operate automatically and not need anyone actually there)?

Right, I'm off to Aldi now for the fruit & veg specials. As most of my posts are at night, and some of them overnight, perhaps they may sometimes be missed by the morning crew on here? I sometimes do have useful things to say overnight so, if it's a weekend more, please check if I've said (or others have said) something overnight. Likewise, the evening crew - such as myself normally - should not forget to check what you guys are saying!!

I'm getting the fruit & veg at Aldi - we're deciding we need to eat more healthily - but could someone check the weight of the Dessert Pears pack at Sains. (which should be £1) - perhaps best to weight on three or four packs - and roughly how many pears are in a pack? Also what are the Lidl fruit & veg offers today? (If there are any.)

Many thanks and I'll see you later.
