Whenever I get a PM, and I reply to it, I can't find the original message any longer. I can't go back and read it again. What am I doing wrong? So much yet to learn about using this site.

At the top of the page , second row, under Private Messages. Click it, beside the word Private Message it has (Inbox/Sent), click on sent and it displays all that you have sent, listed by the most current first. Click back on Inbox for PM's you've received also. Hope this helps. :D

In PM Messages, there are two boxes, the INBOX and the SENT box, I believe this shows right above the ad that pops up. You can then see what you've sent and what you have received :) I hope this helps. :)

Ooops Amazon beat me, must be a speed typist :)

when you reply make sure you click 'Quote reply' instead of reply.. it will display their PM as well as yours in your send archives..

Click on "Private Messages" at top of screen. Then choose between the In Box or Sent message tabs.

Also, It really helps if you use the "Quote message" tab when replying to PM so that the message you are replying to is included.

click on your inbox- or to see what you sent click on your sent box.

Click on your sent box...and you'll see what you sent and you can click on your title and edit if the person hasn't read it yet or even delete it if you change your mind...Or you can just reread it even if the person has read it.

That only shows me what I sent, but it no longer has the message from the person who wrote to me. Once I reply to someone's message, with the "Reply" button, then I go back, but the message from that person can no longer be found. It is not in the "Inbox" any longer.

if you are looking at the sent message, either go back a page or click on private msgs again and you should then be in the inbox section. if not, click on inbox.
your screen would show inbox/sent. if sent is blue, you are in sent pm's.

I finally figured it out. I can click on my reply, click on the persons name, click on "All From", and it shows the original messages from that person. It has been so frustrating, because their message always disappears, right after I reply.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway. I deeply appreciate your help.
