So how are posters supposed to know (other than the helpful post from @notrichenough . Changes should be announced somewhere, so posters know what features are/are not available. JMO.
Thanks- think I saw the “option to leave a PM” post but not the ”how to delete one”. Not really seeing the need to delete a pm, but no matter. Its fine if someone else does.
I find it useful, since in my function I receive/send a ton of PMs. Ideally, I’d like to be able to sort them into folders, or at least search, but since that’s not gonna happen anytime soon, I delete.
I wonder the notification mechanism can be changed. Instead of notifying all new posts, the site only sends notifications on the threads that have new posts. Currently we have several notifications with repeated threads and they are not in any order. It’s hard to parse out the threads and to know which oldest post of the thread to be read first. Also it would be nice to have an option to clear notification for each thread instead of clearing notifications for all threads.
Probably it’s not too difficult for programmers to make this change: Only send notification on the first new post instead of sending notifications on all new posts.
I still don’t see the need to delete the old pm’s. At not like they take up some limited bandwidth or get in the way. Then again I am one who doesn’t always delete old emails either. And sometimes being able to pull up old info is helpful.
Ok I don’t know if this is a relaunch issue, but I just replied to a post. It was long enough to split into two paragraphs but when I went to post, it only posted the first paragraph.
