message not sending.Page 1 of 1    
When i have been messaging people lately it will say "message sent" in the green letters at the top yet when i go to my sent message folders there is nothing there. I have sent messages to several different POF members and i feel that i have missed out on getting connected to people because of this.

TONS of reasons first contact messages here do not get sent. All relate to one of two general causes

1) message content (the actual text you are sending)
or
2) your own messaging history (how many and what kind of messages you send)


I have sent messages to several different POF members and i feel that i have missed out on getting connected to people because of this.
I am betting it was more then just "several " (wink) . The good news it is completely in your own control and not a site glitch or "bug"

From our FAQ's in the site help section. Please always check there for answers BEFORE posting another redundant forum thread or at least do a forum SEARCH on the topic. This is literally answered here DAILY.

If it's not in your sent box, it wasn't sent. The fact that some of your messages go through and not others, suggests that it's a filter that is blocking you. The filter might be based on the content of your message or mail restrictions put in place by the person you are trying to contact. Also, initial messages are scrutinized higher by the system then messages going to those you've already exchanged mail with.

See here for possible reasons for mail not being sent.

Question:

Why are my E-Mail Messages not showing up in the Sent Msg/Outbox Area?

Possible Answers:

More than (4) Four duplicate E-Mails sent per Day.


The Site's Contact Filter has blocked you from e-mailing anyone who
has set their Mail Settings to block those who have previously messaged
others for Sex or Intimate Encounters.


The user has email blocked you, which subsequently removes any prior successfully sent messages.


More than (40) Forty 'First Contact' E-Mails per Day.


Do not enter any Telephone Numbers, or anything else that the Spam Filter may construe as a Telephone Number. Do not use more than 6 Numbers together such as Dates (1998-2003) even if separated by Spaces, Dashes, Periods, Parenthesis, Commas, etc.


Do not use Banking Terms, such as "Account", "Bank", "Transfer", Profanities or sexual Terms, the Names of Hosting Sites, Names of certain blocked Countries such as Nigeria, India, Russia, or anything else that could reasonably be expected to catch the Eye of the Site's Spam/Scam Filters.


Your E-Mail is too long, exceeding approx. 7,800 Characters


Do not use the ---> @ Symbol, non-resolvable Character Encodings, Unicode, Chinese or anything else the System Filter does not recognize in your Message.


You have not only composed and copied the Body of your ASCII (Plain Text) Message from your Text Editor into your E-Mail Message, but also your Text Editor's unrecognized, non-standard Formatting, Document Markup Languages or Control Characters. Use another Editor or don't use/turn off its formatting Functions.


Do not send HTML Links, Java Code or E-Mail Addresses.


Some Messages which contain any illegal Material or Activities such as "Drugs", "Rape", "Murder", etc. may be blocked.


That User has other Contact Restrictions per their Mail Settings. For these, you will receive a message back saying you can't contact the user.


You have a Mail Settings Restriction such as | Dating | and have e-mailed another User with the very same Restriction, or other such Mail Setting Conflict. You cannot block that in your Mail Settings what is also indicated in the Looking For Field in your Edit Profile


You, or the intended E-Mail Recipient, or both have a missing or incorrect
Postal Code Profile Entry, esp. a "75 Mile" Contact Restriction Limit in
either's Mail Settings.


You inadvertently edited the Recipients To: Field instead of the Subject Line and fired your E-Mail/Reply off to a Non-Existent User/E-Mail Address, or to a User who had deleted his Profile.


You have made Reply to an existing E-Mail in your Inbox, but changed
the Recipient in the To: Field of a User who has his/her Profile hidden,
and does not have you on his/her Favourites List. Since Mail Settings are hidden from View, Contact Restrictions can not be determined.


The Mail Recipient has made certain fundamental Changes to his/her Profile such as Change of User Name or Mail Settings but has not yet E-Mail Logged out, reflecting the Update.


That User E-Mail Blocked you subsequent to receipt of your Message, consequently your 'Sent Mail' disappeared from your Sent Msg/Outbox Folder. If that User then unblocked you, and you e-mailed again, the same Sequence could re-occur.


Your Browser's Options/Preferences are incorrect, Securities set to high, Plentyoffish.com not set as a Trusted Site, Cookies corrupt, Firewall Blocks, etc.


Another User has not E-Mail Logged out of their Plentyoffish Account from the same Computer using the same Browser, but you have E-Mail Logged into your Account sending E-Mails.


Your Browser's User Agent is concealed, corrupt or indicates the Presence of Malware, Trojan or Viral Infection.


A User's Profile was deleted, but not the actual User Account, resulting from massive Errors generated by a User trying to rig the Voting System utilizing automated Bots or other similar Types of Abuses.


That User's Profile may have been deleted.


There will also be unpublished filters put in place by the Admin for proprietary reasons, such as a high Percentage of E-Mail blocks or a high Contact-to-Complaint Ratio, etc. Unfortunately the above example is only one - there are others that will not be disclosed in order to disuade circumvention of those filters and blocks.
