smithkt Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The vast majority of the messages in my PM folders are marked as deleted, making it impossible to reply to them. Since I did not mark them this way, can someone explain what is going on and how to undo this? Link to comment
Big John Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Were they from before last June? Those from the transformation were automatically marked as deleted. Any since then will also be marked deleted if the other party deleted it. Link to comment
smithkt Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Some, but even some of the more recent ones are marked as well. So, it seems if the other party clears their messages to make room, I can no longer respond. I also have messages where the other party has "left the conversation". Strange way to manage PMs. Makes them far less useful. If that's the way it is, then so be it. I guess the other party will just have to assume I am ignoring them. I participate on quite a few message boards, and I have never seen any of them handle PMs this way. I guess there is nothing I can do about it, so we can consider this topic closed. Thanks for the insight. Link to comment
Zooty Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) They were deleted bu the person you sent it to And its the software not the board Edited April 4, 2013 by Zooty Link to comment
smithkt Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah, I got it. Big John already explained it. Yes, I understand it is a function of the IP Board software and their "Personal Conversation" approach to PMs. It's different and so far, I find it not useful for one to one communication. I recognize it could be more useful when multiple parties are involved. I guess I will just need to get used to it. In the mean time, I find it silly that someone sent me a PM and before I got a chance to respond, they deleted it. It still shows up, but I can not respond directly. It's just not what I am used to.
