Why cannot I view my own private messages?

This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: IMDb boards

It is bizarre that we cannot see the private messages we'd sent!

When I receive a response I cannot exactly recall what all I'd typed in my PM to the sender, preventing me from replying properly.

I also noticed that after logging out and then logging in again, I cannot access all the PMs I'd received.

Can someone help me out with these issues?

Hi Raz,

If you're referring to board; user to user private messages you can review your inbox and outbox by navigating here once logged in: https://www.imdb.com/registration/accountsettings then see a clickable link for: "Update your Board Message Settings" click that, on the next page you will see your user name and number of messages in a grey box, select the number of messages link and it should bring you to your inbox, in addition it should also have a link to your 'view outbox'.

If you have any further questions let us know.

Best,
Kurt

Thanks for helping me, Kurt!

This Outbox & Inbox design looks very odd.

It'd be much better if the Subject links in the Inbox contains our Outbox details.

Just like in our general email Inboxes.

Can't access my inbox. There's no direct link. The above solution no longer exists. Can someone help?

Inbox was part of the Message board software which has been removed from IMDb

The above solution no longer exists because the IMDb administrative morons have removed Private Message facility as well as Inboxes and Outboxes, as per their own unilateral wish - without any regard for our convenience.
