Hey Mike my PM inbox is full and it won’t let me delete old messages.
I have a message on hold.
Help! :(

Hey Joe!

I use this one; User Control Panel> Private Messages> Rules, Folders & Settings> If folder is full> Delete oldest message.
The folder will delete oldest message and roll over to allow #101.

Joe the only thing I could find I could do is to purge your outbox, I did but it said it was already empty, maybe that got something to kick, if not I will Google around and see if there is something hidden I can do.

See Ya,
Mike

Joe, I was checking and found the suggestion to delete the messages one at a time by opening them and checking the delete box, seems there was a bug that would not allow mass delete, but I think we should be past that version, however there is an update currently I need to apply sometime, so probably dark one night I will do that, I will try and inform the group when I am scheduling to do it because the forum will be unavailable during that time.

See Ya,
Mike

Thanks Mike! The manual delete worked on a message that allowed me to read the one that was on hold.
Otherwise inbox is still full. I’ll go ahead and delete a few more to a make room.
Thank you!

It'll work as a 'work-around' in the software.
My apologies to Mike for butting in but he's spot-on about the software. The host may have an updated version to accommodate individual post deletion, but it all has to be shut down and upgraded, which is a royal pain. Kudos to Mike for administering the site. It's a job I wouldn't want. Like pulling headers on my car! :shock: :D

Funny you should mention- the Dougs headers in my Falcon are a major pain in the rear to remove/replace! Holy moly it involves engine mount removal and tilting the engine all over as well as loosening the steering gearbox :x

No steering box here, thank goodness! The '63 is mucho tight. Number 5 tube is riding on the shock tower. Old rascal on here gave me a good tip to fix that when it warms up a bit. :P
