    Hmm... I added a "wait state" if you will, which fixed it in my testing, but the period of time can certainly be increased. Basically what's occurring is a portion of the script is loaded, while another portion has to play "catch up". The pause in the code typically allows this to happen, but apparently not in your case. When I say "pause," I'm talking milliseconds here (it went from 100 to 500). If this still happens a lot, I may increase that pause, but I'd like to give it a few days before I do that.
  • The blank PM happened more than once last night with Jone. Twice I think actually. We were working on a deal so lots of pming back and forth.



    For me it happens with Jone most often and then randomly at other times. When its random though it seems to happen with most anyone im messaging almost as though its a certain time frame.

    Are your messages to Jone normally very short or long?  Sorry not trying to pry, just asking if it's a quick lil PM your sending or a long typed out paragraph.


  • Generally a few sentences but I dont write a book or anything. I haven't noticed a correlation between message size and this happening at all.



    Last night the first one was maybe 40-50 words. Second one would have been less.
  • You know, I think I may have not correctly updated the new javascript file (oops). Can you tell me now if this is still happening?
  • I haven't had the blank PM issue at all lately. It's fixed for me at any rate. Seems like it went totally back to normal maybe a week ago? Damn, I feel old, my short term memory is gone.
  • I havent had one since the 24th. I need to spam PM's to Jone to test it.
  • Haha, yeah next time I have a large FS thread I'm sure you'll get the testing opportunity.
  • Just happened again for me and not to Jone. 4 consecutive times and the fifth one worked.
  • And several times this weekend from home.
  • Tons of blank pm's going out right now.
  • Seems to happen more on replies then just sending them but not exclusively.

    stop sending me blank pms!
  • AHA! I think I may have new light on the Blank PM issue. I just sent my first one EVER a few minutes ago.



    When I was typing the PM, it was appearing in a slightly larger sized font and it looked a bit odd. Maybe a size 14 font as opposed to a 12. I typed and sent anyway, and then was told it was a blank PM. I doubt the font issue was causing it, but it might be a symptom to help detect it.
  • Yeah, that was the symptom already reported. I think I may need to increase the delay for the editor to initialize. The downside is that you won't be able to type until it's 'ready', but the upside is that it will hopefully fix it for more users having the issue. The last update reduced the number of occurrences (I received fewer complaints), but not 100%.
  • Ya, this is happening to me also.... on about 10-20% of the messages I send I'd guess.



    Sorry for creating a new topic! I should have researched better first.
  • Any long messages I create I copy before sending now...
  • I've also noticed that sometimes I click "Quote" to quote a response in a thread, and the pop-up window is blank without any quoted text. I've had that happen at least 5 times in the past couple of weeks, and had never experienced it prior to then...

    This happens to me a lot.

    Lol, I'm pretty religious about this also!

    Yeah i got the same..i noticed that when i open up a new message the font is slightly bigger then what normally it is..sent it..kinda of had a hunch and sure enough the person said resend the message again it was blank..so just a heads up, when you notice that a font is slightly larger..well you are going to send a blank message..so try it if you dare lol
  • FYI, I'm still trying to figure this one out. It's really got me puzzled, so be sure to compose larger messages outside of the editor and paste them in until I can sort it out.
