How do I confirm a PM was sent?

I justed tested sending a message to Trunks two different ways - one by going to a post of his on the forum and selecting Send Message from there, and another by going directly to his profile and selecting Send Message from the little three dash menu below the avatar. Both resulted in the message showing up in my Sent Messages section. Before that I also have a Sent Message showing up as a result of replying to one sent to me (rather than me initiating the chain).

Did you use a different method to these three? I'm trying to work out why you wouldn't have anything in your Sent Messages section if it had indeed been sent. 

Oooooohhhh....okay, my method was that I just went to Messages in my own profile menu and from there picked the option that says "New Message" and typed in the screen name of the person I wanted to PM, figuring that would work. Both of your proposed methods are different from that, so let me try out one of those routes.

Let me just try sending you a message real quick using one of these other methods as a test case.

EDIT: Okay, going directly to your profile worked! I can see the test PM I sent you just now in the "Sent" menu. Problem solved! Weird though that I have use other people's profile pages to PM them. Well anyway, thanks so much for your help!  

Yep, that worked; I received the message. 

  

I've just tried sending a message using your original method and I get an error message ('There was a problem sending your message!'), I think because when I enter someone's username there's no drop-down or anything to select a name from, so it's not actually going to anyone.
