No real answer that I know of, there are various issues seen posting here all the time. I'd just say check your "Outbox", if it is there it actually was sent... it will be there until read at which point it moves to your "Sentbox".

If there's nothing there, just try again. When I was having issues on a regular basis, I would always do a Ctl-A / Ctl-C to make sure I didn't have to type everything over again on a failure. Kind of a PITA but better than having to compose that masterpiece all over again. :wink:

Also make sure you really should be sending a private message, if it is regarding a forum post then it probably should go into that post... i.e. public rather than private.

Hi Chulett

I sent a test message to you and got the below error

The Proxy Was Unable to Fulfill Your Request

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The proxy was unable to fulfill your request because the computer at www.dsxchange.com:80 does not appear to be functioning properly. While attempting to communicate with www.dsxchange.com:80, the proxy encountered the following error: HTTP7765: error reading response header (Server closed connection)

The website may be temporarily unavailable. If later attempts to access this website are still unsuccessful, you may wish to contact the website's administrator.

I may guess it may be because of Proxy server block, but it is happening while i send it from my laptop. Whereas i replied to few and they got it while in work.

You may, of course, have bumped into a period when the DSXchange server is being backed up.
