my deleting ?

granma

I go to the oldest page and I tick the box   and then click on delete etc  but it is deleting the wrong ones . I found that my latest ones , some I had only just received had gone.

I just cannot follow this, is anyone else having problems.

I only want to delete them as I have Sapporo many!

I dont know Gran I have just tried mine, I clicked just one box then clicked 'delete selection' it did only delete the one I ticked though.

1. Maybe a trip to the opticians ..........

Lyn

Should have gone to Specsavers Gran;)

granma

I didn't see them ( spec savers I mean t )  another sure sign

Hey can I blame it on my age again, long time I used the senior moment thing 

Lyn

Yes, why not Gran , theres been some pretty good excuses on here lately regarding computers.

I'm a little on the dim side.

why do you  want to delete  PMs?

Is this something I should be doing?

I did it by accident once nut   

Not sure it's necessary though - does it get full after a while and need clearing?

Bit like the wash basket...

I think you can only see 10 pages worth of messages - once they're full the rest go into some unseen pages - if you delete some of the later ones then the earlier ones reappear.  I think that's how it works

Ah, thanks. Might be worth doing then. When this year's seed swap came round I had to ask for addresses that were in there somewhere but had fallen off the end

Hm, not going to do that again - deleted some from page 10 and some of my most recent PMs disappeared - just like Cangran said.  I'm just going to leave them alone from now on.
