I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I sent one of the moderators a PM about an issue, which they addressed with in 2 minutes of me sending the PM. When I saw this I tried PMing them back with a thank you, but it gave me a generic error when I tried to send it.

I backed up created a new PM and then tried to send again a few times with the same error. At this point a little bulb clicked on in my head that it must be an anti-spam filter so I decided to wait a little while and try again to send the thank you.

In the mean time I checked my PM outgoing box just in case to find 5 copies of the thank you PM, one for each time I tried to send it. I then deleted all but one in my outbox before they where sent.

I was just wondering if this is the way it is supposed to work, and if so is it possible to change the generic error reading to something that explains that you have hit a necessary anti-spam filter and that the message will be sent out after a certain period of time.

This is a relatively minor issue but I thought I would put it out there just in case.

Try sending the PM to someone else. It could be due to PM box of the Mods has reached its storage limit and the PM are being rejected.

Posting a screenshot would help as well.

"Generic PHP Error" was all it said that I remembered. If there was a number I didn't copy the number, I can try to cause it happen again if some one is willing to be the genie pig. Sorry didn't see the response to this till just now. Also sorry didn't think to take a picture at the time.
