Well why don't we all invite retired to our conversations and delete them afterwards? He should be able to clean up his inbox later

O.M.G. I donwannabeyoutomorrow
Oh so I'm suppose to go to bed at 3 am with my "home" in a mess? I can't sleep like that [emoji14]
Okay - SInce "You" were able to accomplish this feat - I am hoping "You" can help "Me" . . . I wrote an earlier post in this thread concerning "Conversations"/"Old PM's and the problem I have been experiencing . . . I was sent to that link and tried to use "Prefixes" option as instructed, however that was a - HUGE FAIL - given no matter what I did . . . Especially since as the instructions said "Where it says "Other Action" on the popup, click on that and then select "Set Conversations Prefix" . . . Well - The "floating option box" just disappears and nothing else happens . . . Which I also post about, but I never got a response . . . I really would like to Group Messages to save and delete the rest . . . Can "You" provide "Me" with any other information . . . Thanks
YES - Some disappear and other come back, just as they did in "Poltergeist II" . . .
EDIT: Forgot to ask - Is it normal that when ya' leave a "Conversation" to be taen to a totally blank page ? ? ?

Step by step instructions for Prefixes:
First thing you need to do is define them.
Click on your name
Click on Personal Details
Left side of the page under 'Conversations' three lines down Click on 'Conversation Prefixes'
Click on 'Create New Prefix'
New page comes up. You need to figure out what the title of the prefix will be.
Fill in the 'Title' box
Pick a 'Color' for the prefix by clicking the little circle next to the color you want
Ignore 'Display Order' for now....I don't know how that works yet. I haven't played around with it.
Click 'Save Prefix'
Now you are ready to set prefixes on your conversations.
The next post will address that

DONE . . . Matter of fact, did a few times already even in the INBOX window . . .
Still cannot attach either "prefixes" I created and saved . . .

After you have created the 'Prefixes' that you want to use for your conversations:
After you have saved your prefixes, go back to the screen that had the Conversation on the left side of the screen:
Click on 'View Conversations'
Click on the box next to the conversation you wish to add a prefix to
A box will pop up, click on 'Other Action' and a drop down list will present itself
10th item down is 'Set Conversations Prefix'
New box comes up
Click on the part that says '(No prefix)'
A list will drop down that has all the prefixes that you have previously defined.
Choose the prefix that you want to assign to the conversation
Click 'Set Prefix'
Your conversation will have the colored prefix that you have assigned to it.
Please tell me that this helps you, Uncle!!!

THE MISSING OPTION ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Mysteriously appeared and is Now Found . . .
More Then - HELPED . . .
AND - I can't tell Ya' how much I really appreciated "YOUR" assistance, especially by replying to "My" query as quickly as Ya' did . . .
SO - If it is NOT TO BOLD OF "ME" (and even if it is - I'm still gonna do it) . . .
Gotta' "Love" A GOOD WOMAN ! ! ! !
NOW - Where have Ya' been all this time that I've been here . . .
YAY! I am sooooooooooooo glad it worked for you. It is REALLY hard to see that item in that list.
Well to be perfectly honest, it "REALLY" wasn't there before . . .
I know it was "YOU" that made it happen and just appear . . .
Copy and paste into a word document
I can see how that might work for one simple conversation, but not for multiple ones. I belive XF has the ability to export conversations in a variety of different formats, including HTML, XML and plain text. I don't see the options yet on our conversations. Perhaps it's coming?

That's an add-on, and is not native to XF, unfortunately. I used that function on vB myself and miss it too. As to whether it's coming...? Only time will tell. We're still getting all the nuts and bolts sorted for now.

Good to know and good to go, sonic. I would like to have that ability. If not, and because of the space limitations, the only other option is to delete (or "leave") the conversations. If we must delete/leave them, then we will, but I'm going to hang on and wait for the nuts and bolts sorting for now.
Thank you!
Stupid question #2: where is the media link on the mobile site? Just yesterday I added some pics and I can use them and all but today I can't find where in earth the media / album link is... Am I going blind?
Thx and sorry

I also found a link in the drop down menu to the left of the user name at the top right of the page.
Is there a way to tag a member without having to type their name (or copy and paste) - something I can just click on? That would be cool!
I like the tag feature, but I'm always afraid I'm going to get the name wrong (by typing an I instead of L, or an O instead of a 0, etc.)
