Delete Messages/Outbox

Unread post by MQT1223 »

I have several PM's I am trying to delete and no matter what I do it keeps saying "Invalid, resubmit form". Not sure what I'm doing wrong here but my Inbox is like half full. Only way it seems I can delete anything is to do it individually one at a time and that's very time consuming.

I also have 4 messages in my Outbox. Not sure if those are sending or if they are stuck in purgatory. I am trying to contact the admin.

Good to Know. I thought they were kind of in limbo similar to an email account.

If you open your private messages, in the bottom right corner, there's an option to "Mark All" which will checkmark all of the messages. You can then select "Delete Marked" and hit "Go." That will delete all of the PMs on that page. I tend to just let mine build up and not delete. When it hits 100 messages in capacity, your oldest message is automatically deleted, so I just leave mine there.

Your Marquette brother is correct about the Outbox.

When I have done this, this is when I get the error message.
