For members who are finding out that their limits are already used and/or full in your inbox/outbox capacity, here's a quick tip to mass delete.

In your inbox you can select to create folders. I created a temporary folder and put all the PM's from my inbox for the last month in it (one can place selected PMs from throughout inbox in there, or just pages from the most recent month or so like I did). From there, I deleted my inbox. After I got rid of everything older than one month, I simply got rid of the folder I created which automatically merged the PM's in it right back into my inbox.

That's a quick way of deleting many pages of PM's to free up your inbox.

Unfortunately the same can't be done with the outbox, so you can save those to computer if needed, or just keep inbox a bit smaller to accommodate more in your outbox.

Just some tips, and if you have any questions, don't hestiate to ask.

Also, some of you may have noticed that identifying information didn't come over with the inbox.When you open the PM it will show who it's from, just doesn't show on the main index of PM's. It is with the PM's (in view) that came over stored in outbox, though.

Too bad I didn't see this before, but I only had to delete... about 100 pages, which isn't too bad. Thanks KD!

KD, the limit is the same, no matter how many folders one has.

To send a PM go up to the right corner and click on Your Notifications inside your Name box... then on the left hand side of that new window...you will see a list of a plethora of things to do. ancing-Chilli:

hey ((((((((dance59326))))))))))))

To send a message to a user, click their name in a post, one of the options in the drop-down menu there is "Send a private message".

Or click "Private Messages" on the top RIGHT of the screen, and when you get to your profile ... options on the right say "Send New Message". Click that, and you should be set ... you just fill in the information. I hope that helps some.

I feel safer (from here on out that this) to keep inbox cleaner and saving outbox...I do because I know whatever I respond to has a copy of the original PM in it because it quotes it.

Just another little trick to deal with my anxiety of deleting PMs.
