Please could we have a "delete all" button?

Deleting individually, or even highlighting several and then deleting is really annoying.

Or am I missing an existing function to do this ?

AF, BTW. I had an idea, should you want to have a less, erm, forthright MN name. You could have "AnyBabyDancer". Nice, right?

In all honesty I have never had a pm to request a lesbian affair

I would keep those

I could delete all my PMs in the time it takes me to blink. True fact.

In fact when I do get a PM I only notice because I get an email, and I do a little "what do they mean, Private Message?" double take.

In fairness, I never send any.

I don't think requests for a lesbian affair really counts Pinot.

Yes, it was magical, that once, but it's not happening again my dear, i'm sorry.

Or did you do something spectacularly stupid a bit dim like Hully and complain about not getting shitty PMs?

what are you sending that you can't say on-board, AF? Wink Grin

AbsofCroissant · 24/01/2012 10:16

I object to this thread as it comes across as all smug and stealth boasty. "ooh, look at me, I have too many PMs cos I'm so popular I would like a special facility to delete them all".

Or, are they random spammy/porny ones I've heard of people getting?

Some people use the pm system a lot, some people do not Grin

Stop showing off

It would take me 2 nanoseconds to delete 'all' my pms

Rebecca, I have pm's going back to the middle of last year. I have to keep deleting them in batches because it is so tiresome and fiddly to do.

I get a lot of pm's, I love the system, but a "delete all" feature where you can "uncheck" would be great

At the minute, it seems arse-road about Smile

I don't think that there is AF but I can ask.
You can, as you say, check all of the boxes and then click 'delete selected messages' or you can go through them one by one.
