At the top of any page, click the "x" new messages button (where "x" represents the number of new messages in your PM Inbox).
|
|
Your PM Inbox appears.
|
| 2) |
Click the Outbox link.
|
| 3) |
Click on the Subject line of the PM you want to edit.

Your message opens.

Look for buttons that look something like these examples:

|
The message creation form appears with your message inside it.
|
| 5) |
Edit the message.
|
| 6) |
To enable or disable BBCode and smilies, and to attach or remove your signature, select or de-select the corresponding check boxes at the bottom of the form.
|
 Note: If you do turn BBCode off, the PMs sent to you by other forum members who use BBCode to format words and phrases are likely appear odd. You might see the actual codes in their messages, rather than the formatting that those codes display. For example, instead of seeing bold text, you might see [b] and [/b] codes around the words that they are intending to display as bold.
|
| 7) |
Click the Preview button to preview your message. If necessary, go back and make changes to your text and formatting again.
|
| 8) |
Click the Submit button to re-send your PM.
|
| 9) |
At this point, a page appears, offering you the choice to either go to the forum index or to view the list of messages in your Inbox. Click the link that corresponds to your preference.
|
|
Note: Once again, your message is stored in your Outbox until the member opens it. At this point, you can edit it again at any time. After the recipient opens it, it is moved to your Sentbox and its contents are no longer under your control.
