I... have returned.

Heya Fellow CE (or is it MWG now?) members!

I have returned. Been spending way too much time in c++, lisp, and assorted other vulgar programming languages as of late, and decided to get back into some php.

Looking forwards to contributing to the success of this forum again. It looks likes it has undergone many changes for the better during my 'furlough'.

Incidentally, all you older members that remember me, let's catch up - send me a pm so I can hear what you've been up to ;)

Incidentally, is this board still active?

And secondly, my mailbox is apparently full. I have 573 messages in it, and there is no mass delete button. I cannot send or receive mail until I clear my mail box it appears, but I am unwilling to go through and delete 573 messages by hand. Does this mean I should create a second account for the sole purpose of sending and receiving messages? Or perhaps an admin has a mass delete button handy? ;)

Hey seanybob! welcome back.

This board is still active yes, we switched about a week ago from CE to MWG. The current message limit has been set on 200. You can go to your profile > Settings > Display Settings and change the amount of Private messages to show on one page. If you have a lot of messages displaying more will be easier to delete. On each page you'll have a listing of pm x to pm y, select the heading box (next to subject, author, date), and you'll select all pm's on that page, so it should go fairly quick doing it this way.

If you really do not want to do this, as I'm afraid there is no other mass delete option, you could always contact a board admin via irc and see if they can solve this issue in a different way.

Welcom back,

 

You also have the ability to download your messages , so important oned don't really have to be deleted.

 

To be able to show more PMs per page , go to your profile > settings > display settings.

 

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Ah, that solved that problem. I didn't have javascript enabled for mwg forums, so the 'select all' thing wasn't working - now that's done. 40 at a time is much more reasonable than 1 at a time.

Thanks
