Old hands will find this phpBB forum similar to the old Simple Machine forum.

One potential source of confusion is that PMs in SMF (Simple Machines forum) go into Sent Items as soon as you click Send message.

Here, in the phpBB forum, when you click Submit the message goes to your Outbox.
Your message will stay in your Outbox until it is read by the recipient.
Once it is read, it will be moved to Sent messages.

It is a good system, but it does take a bit of getting used to.

Is it possible to add the post, or the first couple of lines, to e-mail notifications?
The way it's now it's impossible to determine if you need to take action asap, or that someone e.g. only replied with a smiley.

It is not built in, but it might be possible for Bob to install an extension...

RSS feeds still works for me, your reply shows up.
app.php/feed

But the RSS feed doesn't work for hidden boards, of course.

Transcribing Tech support REALLY works, and fast. I typed 3 words "I save my" and I suddenly had the answer to my problem. GREAT. Thanks for being there.
