Really stupid question... PMs and Sent Folder

Not PMS, Private Messages and the sent folder...

I think this is like the third time I've responded to a private message since the old site, but when one responds to a PM, should the response show up in the sent folder, or is that just if one is the initiator of a private conversation?
I'm pretty sure the old site let you check to see if your response was sent...
Or not... I don't remember what I ate for breakfast...
Maybe some abalone that probably in retrospect should have been refrigerated, but anyway...
I thought there was and I have a compulsion to check...
Is there a way or do I just leave it to faith...
I'm not a trusting person.
Actually I have another question too...
Is belly button lint supposed to be flammable?
No, sorry that was for a different forum...
The other question was "is the member profile settings stable now?"
I remember a long time ago people were having trouble changing their avatars, adding info to their profile, etc...
I'd imagine they probably would be, but I'd be really miffed if I accidentally messed everything thing up by messing around with it.
I figured since I was asking non belly button lint related questions, I should throw that in too...
Well, thank you for looking at this post and thank you in advance for any clarifications or interesting information you can provide.

    Unfortunately, the checkbox to save a copy of sent message has to be ticked every time.

    When changing avatars, it helps to change file types -- if your current avatar is a .gif, save the new avatar as .png.

    And belly button lint is indeed flammable -- in fact it's a major energy source in some places. If you ever find yourself caught in a sudden snowstorm above the tree line in the Himalayas, it could save your life.

    This is all good to know... Especially the part about the belly button lint... It is good that I have been collecting it for some time... The sparks it makes when it burns had me concerned, but I suppose if it's properly contained it should not be a problem!

    if you use a jug in the bath you can pour it in your belly button and make a fountain.

    Surely it would be easier to scoop up some water with the jug to do that, rather than trying to pour the jug? :roll:

    I meant pour water scooped up from the bath into the belly button while lying in bath, it fans out in a cool sprinkler motion, you gotta try it! washes the lint out too.

    That sounds like a good idea.
    Previously I was using a 12 mm carbide forstner bit in cordless drill, but that would overheat the outer layers of lint, which would cause it to combust...
    I never thought of using hydro mining techniques to extract the flammable lint deposits.
    Usually I just have a halon extinguisher ready...
    I learned the first time that using water to put out a lint fire only makes it worse...
    Well, actually it was water imported from Russia... They call it vodka... I don't know what those wacky Russians do to their water, but it sure burns... Even when you drink it and it's not actually on fire.
    And it makes you sleepy or prone to running naked through the supermarket... Sometimes both.
    This this new lint removal technique sounds good though.
    And probably lead to fewer legal problems.
    I'm gonna give it a try and I'll report back on the results....

    Vodka in belly button OK if you have someone to lick it out

    but how does lint get in there in the first place?

    is it a biological defense mechanism?

    Maybe... I suppose... I take it out of the dryer filter and stuff it in there to keep the belly button gnomes from stealing my pancreas... So yeah, it could be.
    I'm filling up the bathtub with some Polish water, which I hope is less flammable than the Russian water I used last time...
    I hope this works...

    thinking of trying a q-tip. don't know how far it has to go, what if accidentally drops and lost in there?

    No chance of using a q-tip... I pack the lint in there pretty good since belly button gnomes are very persistent.
    Well, anyway the fountain idea didn't really work...
    I probably should have taken the computer in the yard with me (because of the fire hazard I put an old tub out in the yard)... I'm pretty sure I messed up somewhere because it wasn't doing the fountain thing, so I hooked up an old water pump from a small fountain... Which didn't fit in my belly button at all, and when I turned it on it immediately burst into flames... The force of the blast did clear the lint, but it also dried my hair in a really strange manner... Now I look like that Ancient Aliens guy, Giorgio Tsoukalos...
    And now I'm starting to feel like maybe aliens did build the pyramids...
    This has been a confusing morning.
