I'm quite certain that I did not check "open transaction" should I do this for all future transactions? thanks
It depends. Mt. Gox's explanation, if I remember correctly, is that the Widthdaw BTC function isn't meant to be used as a bitcoin wallet this way, so you would normally withdrawing to your own wallet and then sending payments from there. But most people use it as a wallet and make payments from it, just as you did.
In the instance where you were transferring to someone who you knew used a wallet on Mt. Gox, you could count on the bitcoins transferring immediately. If you mark the checkbox "Open transaction", then that no longer transfers instantly to the other Mt. Gox account and requires six confirmations just like a normal payment would.
But otherwise, to avoid this very scenario, marking the Open transaction gives the ability to see in the blockchain the status of the payment.
So if your other wallet uses Mt. Gox as well, you won't see the funds on the blockchain but they should have been sent. Have you checked with the service where your other wallet is at? If you haven't gotten a response to your ticket, I think you can "ping" by adding a response to the ticket yourself, or perhaps creating a new ticket if you can't get anything to pop with the old one.

I'm pretty sure that Silk Road uses MtGox in order to hedge the exchange rate. That would explain the problem.
Why they are stupid enough to give out MtGox addresses publicly is another matter...

If it's the address you provided and there is no tx ID, it seems they didn't send it yet.
The account history (selecting BTC tab) only shows address for withdrawals, not the tx ID.

yes. The destination address is valid. BlockChain pulls it up but says that it has zero transactions to it and has zero bitcoins recieved.
So it is one of two possibilities, either
1.) Mt. Gox never sent it
or
2.) it was sen but the address was for another Mt. Gox address and you didn't mark the "Open transaction" checkbox. Thus it never touched the blockchain.
It's entirely possible they held the withdrawal. Did you by chance access Mt. Gox using Tor? The sign up page for Mt. Gox reads:

LoL
Anyway. I'm sure you can tell that I'm new to this. This is my very first time buying and moving bitcoins around. Every single step looked clear to me and was smoothly executed except for the withdraw. This long withdraw is very confusing. I really think I did everything correctly.
I hope they get back to me soon.

Was the transfer to another MtGox account? Unless you check "Open Transaction", those are just sent to the recipient internally on MtGox.
He did say that his "other wallet" still didn't have the coins in it. MtGox account or not, the Bitcoins didn't get there.
My other wallet is on the Silk Road.
Priceless LOL
I'm confused. I'm trying to buy some anime. Anyway, what went wrong?
Ask MtGox support. They should be able to tell you what happened.
But, FFS, don't go tell them you wanted to send coins to Silk Road, k?

yes. The destination address is valid. BlockChain pulls it up but says that it has zero transactions to it and has zero bitcoins recieved.
So it seem like my mt.gox account was cleared out but the bitcoins were not actually deposited? what the heck? any ideas?
Also, I can see the transaction/withdraw under my mt.gox account history, but it does not give the transaction an id#

But it does tell you the address right? If it's the address you provided and there is no tx ID, it seems they didn't send it yet. Maybe they put your account for review.
Contact MtGox support on their site. That's a MtGox problem and not a bitcoin problem. Only they can help you.

Have you checked the address where you sent the coins on http://blockchain.info to see if they were sent?
With so little information it's hard to help you.

Hi. It has been over 50 hours since I have tried to move 46 bitcoins from my mt.gox account to another wallet. My Mt.gox balance now has zero bitcoins, but my other wallet still does not have the bitcoins in it.
What is going on?
