Can you provide details as to how you are determining that your PMs are not outgoing? That it's not going through? Any errors? What is indicating, to you, that this is occuring?

I have recieved PM's and when I reply to them they are not saved in my account, as if they were never sent.
I've had to email those I reply to for a response.
But I can send myself a Private Message and it is recieved and also is saved in my sent box ?

When the page is loaded, those who do not have a Friendship with you, but are *pending*, will not have the check box automatically selected. If you simply hit the save changes, without selecting any avatar, you won't receive any error. This seems to cause people to believe they accepted the Friendship requests but will have the friendship still pending.
As far as your PM issue, can I have permission to borrow your account to do a few tests?

This is an example of the check box that needs to be selected when accepting, or Rejecting, Friendship requests:

Yes test away.
I have tried checking and uncheck to get rid of the friend request.
I get no error message with any of these.

1. I was able to get rid of the Friendship request with the first attempt using my hint as posted above. Make sure that you place the check mark in the user's avatar, select Accept (default) or Reject, then Save changes. When you load the page, the check mark in the user's avatar will NOT be selected for the user sending the Friendship request. You must select the check mark in their avatar.
2. I was unable to duplicate the PM issue. I left the test messages in your account and you can see that there are 2 in your Sent folder. One was me, via your account, sending me a PM and the other was me, via your account, replying to a PM I sent from my account. Both were received on my account and both went to your Saved Folder as it should.
Right now I'm at a loss as I was unable to duplicate the issue with your account and I'm not aware of any others with the same issue.

Is the issue still occuring for you when you do so? Or was it a prior issue? It's possible there was a previous issue, and now it's OK as my testing was unable to duplicate the issue at the time I tested. With the amount of resources CF requires to operate, it's a multiple hardware operation. If anything glitches or goes AWOL, the forums can act funky until things are restored.
If the issue is still occuring for you, then I might suspect a browser issue - as strange as that would be. Since I was unable to duplicate the issue, it suggests it's not an account or global issue, but rather, perhaps a local issue (IE your browser).
