Snails - Response on Threads Part 5

OK, maybe it's staring me in the face, and probably waving at the same time... but I need to ask...

...the changeover has apparently resurrected old long-deleted PMs/now-conversations. I keep the
inbox free of clutter. I am seeing no way of nuking old PMs/now-conversations. How do we
DELETE unneeded messages?

Good morning

not easily. you have to "leave the conversation" , a process that glitches a bit right now.

that'll take a little patience, bear - there seems to be a problem 'leaving a conversation' but it's being worked on

morning, ces!

I tried "leaving" but the entry remains in the list. Is that the glitch?

n/m... I see Tibs' next post.

tweety found the apparent cause - you can leave old 'conversations' you have started but not the ones somebody else initiated - or vice versa

 

[AttyPops]

Morning Bear and CES.

Yeah, let the "PM"s go for now...
("PM" is so much easier to type than "Conversation"...)

 

[AttyPops]

Well, I guess Lost got her wish. The world has a lot more 'lerts in it now...

So it's an "ownership" type thing. They hold the old (OLD) messages kind of hostage-like in YOUR list.

Good morning CES!

Hummm ... I got rid of Atty's "conversation"

 

[CES]

i only had a few relatively new PMs when we changed over and was able to delete most of them. I was lucky that old ones didn't get resurrected- i think those are the ones that aren't going away.

 

[AttyPops]

Good morning CES!

That wasn't one of the "old" ones from before...that was a 'new' one started here in xenforo

37 when I got up

Oh

 

[FranC]

Morning,Bear and CES

 

[SilverBear]

OK... NOW they are disappearing from the list. Only 15 minutes ago, they weren't... therefore my question.

 

[CES]

Sounds like they're working on it? The one that i couldn't get rid of the other day still wouldn't go away 5 minutes ago.

Not for the feint of heart, it was 80 when I went for my walk at sunup and the humidity felt like 90%. Probably be mid 90's by mid-afternoon.
