Description

I could reproduce this problem on moodle.org again and again, basically, when I sent out a private message to someone via moodle.org, on the bottom of the message window it will just display Transferring data from moodle.org and it will keep on going and going (with the sandglass Windows icon which you have NO idea whether it got finally sent out or not)... I haven't tested this feature on other sites other than moodle.org. I personally think this is a big problem (for the usability) and should be fixed ASAP. Thanks!

But your message gets posted to the top message frame, yes?

I think what is happening is that the moodle.org is keeping a HTTP connection open to make things more efficient.

yes I think the message does get posted, but the user might not know if the GUI keep saying Transferring data from moodle.org....There should be a quick fix for this I think..

I had a user who is not so comfortable with computers in a state because she thought her messages were not being sent... the hourglass and the message confused her. It confused me at first as well, until I tried to see what was actually happening.
