I sent a PM and now it appears in the Outbox folder.
Shouldn't it be in the Sent Messages folder?
What is the difference between Outbox folder and Sent Messages folder?

To be honest I didn't even know we had an outbox for private messages. So I looked it up and found the answer at https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... 4&t=675335 The outbox is for messages that haven't been viewed by the recipient yet, and the sender can edit or cancel messages that are still in the outbox. That's a pretty useful feature for someone who sent a message they regret lol.

I can see the button for deleting a message that's in the outbox but I can't figure out how to edit it. While I was playing around in the Administrative Control Panel I saw that there's a new version of the software that needs to be installed, so maybe doing that will fix it. I'm not going to do it tonight though, it's kind of time consuming. The board goes offline while it's updating, so if you can't get on sometime in the next few days don't worry, it's probably just me doing some maintenance.

If I wanted to learn more about how boards like these work, is there any book or website you'd recommend?

If you go up to the top of this page, you'll see some buttons on the bottom of the banner. Click on the one called FAQ. The first section is on login and registration, which is a moot point for you since you're already in. But the sections below that have a lot of useful info about user settings and the like.

If you want more information than that, try googling for information on phpbb. There are a variety of board programming setups and that's what this one is called. The forum that you just fled from is called vbulletin.
