I have a hell of a lot of private messages, and I had to just go through them all, to delete each individual page. After deleting one page though, it immediately sent you back to the Inbox, so it involved a lot of clicking!

I had to take the following steps, simply to delete my messages:

Go to inbox, press highlight all, press "delete", I had to do this on around 10 pages over and over again, then it was: Go to trash can, press the highlight all button, and then press delete, it then sent me back to the inbox, so I had to press the trash can button again, highlight all, delete and so on and so forth.

My problem with this is that it sends the deleted messages to the Trash Can, when if you want it in there, you would simply select "Trash Can" in the dropdown box and press "Move", why aren't the messages deleted rather than sent to another place, it's not deleting anything, simply moving it, making the move button pretty stupid imo.

Also, can we have a "delete all messages" button, as the whole going through every page thing, is just plain annoying...

i agreee i got confused when i last tryed to delete these messages

but i think you would have to talk to mybb about this and with gold so near we would have to wait until we get that up and running

* absorbation likes the idea

That's so that you don't accidently delete something important... Same thing with Email usually.. Hotmail's goes to the trash can, outlook does too.

My dear traxor, surely you are aware of the 'Empty Folders' option? This page would be perfect for the job

The problem with that feature is that it also sends it to the Trash Can... ...

No it doesn't?

It sent them to the trash can for me ...

It doesnt trax .... trust me i use it all the time
Just select all the folders and the trash can ones too ... just tell it to keep the unread ones (if any) and you are done
