Is there any logical explenation for why a forum PM would be POOF?

Even more importantly, is it possible to detect in some server log what is deleted in terms of PMs?

Any chance they're saved somewhere? :(

I haven't lost any PMs recently...Did several of them disappear, or just one?

Just one.. but I've suspected it before.. I just don't keep track of the number so it's usually gut instinct and not actual fact I'm basing my suspicions on..  :-\

Only logical explanation is something happening with the server (i.e. it going offline) and losing the query.

And there's no way to check? :'(

Did the site get slow or go offline when you were sending the PM? ???

Wasn't a PM I was sending :'(

It dissapeared from my inbox! So it was one that had already been sent to me..

Maybe you accidentally deleted it?

It definitely poofed on it's own..  :-\

The magical dissapearence of the PM?  :P At any rate it's never happened to me, but mabye the person who sent it, deleted it in their profile/message box thus deleting the same message she/he sent to everyone?
