LizzieM 9,507 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Ian, have you tried the following Go on your profile Then click Edit Profile Then bottom on list on the left hand side is My Notifications Your messages should come up and at the bottom (I think) is the delete button.

The Pianoman 1,534 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Click 'envelope' (picture of) to the left of your ID on top right of page. Click 'view all messages at top of panel. all messages will be viewable. Down right hand side there ar little checkboxes - they are not very obvious. Check the ones you want to delete, Click 'delete' button at bottom of page and Bob's yer uncle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks Lizzie and piano man but unfortunately I still cannot resolve the problem, can't find the option to edit profile or the little checkboxes. Any other ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks engima but I can't even seem to access that page that you have screenshotted after I have signed in. I only have access to a blue coloured page with the forum topics showing? Thanks very much for taking your time to help hopefully we can resolve this problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Ian, scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll see a change theme sign, click it and them click the bottom option. This is what happened to me on Friday. You SHOULD then get the traditional format. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 ahhh - it seems you might be using the mobile theme - and the only way to go back to normal is to kindly ask admin to revert it back - i made that mistake ages ago never again lol once you are back to normal theme mode - you should be able to access messages 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Just don't chat so blooming much !,,,,,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 There seems to be several topics /posts on this subject, and there is a simple remedy, especially for newbies who aren't up to scratch on the idiosyncrasies of the system. When PMing a member in order to have a 'private ' natter, then the conversation has finished, then delete it. You can see by the % used how much space is left. I have pm'd many members, but only save a couple or so. My in box has NEVER been more than 10% full. If you deem it imperative that you save something, then print a hard copy. There really is no reason whatsoever that the pm box is full to capacity. I really don't see what the problem is. Just don't save everything. It may backfire on you ! No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but surely prevention is better than a cure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 A sensible idea ! I know people who have normal email boxes (eg Yahoo or Gmail etc) which are absolutely bursting at the seams. Compulsive hoarders who never get rid of anything, like the people you see on those TV programmes with a living room full of newspapers and boxes. There is a digital equivalent of those hoarders, and they are the types who never delete any emails, so they have everything they've ever received since 2003. I suspect there may be Nottstalgians who suffer from a similar condition. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Suspect is hardly the adequate word Cliff. It seems downright dangerous and incompetent to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
