There is, of course, the option to delete all PMs at once, from either your inbox or sent box. But for some reason, when I try to "Delete Checked", it doesnt work. A prompt box pops up on my screen asking if I am sure, and when I click "Okay", nothing happens. This can be a problem when I want to hang onto a couple PMs, but the rest os junk. It would judt make things easier.

I don't know if this is an all-around problem, or if it's just me, but I was just throwing it out there. I've talked to Cairoi and Xeo about it before, but they also had no idea what was wrong. Any ideas..?

Last we were told, it screws up with the DB on the backend, so the feature was disabled even though the interface is still there.

I can't recreate either.

I checked a few PMs, clicked 'Delete Checked' and confirmed. Worked.

Used Delete All, clicked on Confirm (not Delete Checked, I should remove that), all PMs deleted.

Very contradictory. But It never does anythng with the delete checked option. I can delete all without a problem. When I click confirm for the delete checked, literally nothing happens. The screen stays exactly the same, even after ferfreshing.

I take it you don't get to the

Checked PMs have been deleted.
Click Here to go back to your PM box

page?

The Delete Checked button makes a javascript box pop up, so if you have javascript disabled it might just be that.

As for the whole database issue, the only change I made regarding deletion is that instead of deleting PMs, it hides them. In other word, if someone were to 'Delete All' by mistake, we could still recover them.

I really hate the Delete All thing though because it removes EVERYTHING.

Well, that's kinda the point.

Or perharps I'm misunderstanding here, and that you'd rather want that clicking "Delete All" simply checks all?

Or maybe sarcasm?

I'd like that if I'm on the Sent Messages and I click Delete All that it removes ONLY the Sent Messages not EVERYTHING in all Sent and Received. It defies intuitive interface.

So, no, no sarcasm.

If not, your destructive message of "Are you sure?" should be a bit more descriptive to include the fact that EVERYTHING is going to be deleted.

I test software for a living. This would be a major horrible bug.

Well, Acmlmboards are one massive bug =P

But yeah, I can change that.

I should also make a TO-DO list.

EDIT: argh, I officially hate how this board handles sent messages.

Wait, seems like Delete All will only delete Received PMs. It shouldn't ever delete Sent PMs.

Unless, lol acmlmboard
