Hi,

I've had this happen, too.  I give up to what causes it.  It shouldn't do that.  The software on Overunity's IP server should be integrated to run everything, yes?.  If one part by itself doesn't run and the rest does, I don't see how that's possible.

Maybe hartiberlin will see these posts?  He can look into it?

I've had the same problem and still do, XP sp3 ie7,
It has been there ever since overunity .com was changed to the new look, sometime earlier this spring.

However; it appears that there is a conflict with Adobe flash player that causes the problem. If removed, the pm's seem ok.
But without the flash player, movies eg youtube are not playable

I hope this helps.
Mike

Okay, now at least I have some explanation.  I borrow computers and I can't download anything to the one I'm on.

Looks like there's a glitch in the hardware/software(firmware) on some computer systems.  This computer runs okay as is.

OK, thanks. I'm using IE8, I just tried with Firefox however, and no problem here with sending PMs. I can't see the sent message in the Sent Items folder however, so I'm not sure if it actually has been sent?

Yeah, I have that particular problem occasionally, too.  Even if I send anything, it may not arrive at the addressee's mailbox until later, or not at all---that includes if I get the 'Sent' confirmation notice.

This shouldn't be happening, but it does anyway.  Murphy's Law.
Corollary to Murphy's Law:  Murphy was an optimist.   :(   ???   :P
