lol, I just sent a PM to Jone and it was blank....the irony
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.
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.
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%.
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...

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.

Last night the first one was maybe 40-50 words. Second one would have been less.
Seems to happen more on replies then just sending them but not exclusively.
stop sending me blank pms!

Sorry for creating a new topic! I should have researched better first.

This happens to me a lot.
Any long messages I create I copy before sending now...
Lol, I'm pretty religious about this also!
