Been like it most of the day here. I have also had problems with the PM system. Traveller had the same problem and ended up sending me a message 3 times by mistake.

I get the message too and when I'm sending a PM each time I use the refresh button the message gets sent once more. Maybe a lot of people with a full box today :rolleyes:
