Dan, I've just now forwarded the messages. If that doesn't work, I can try copying and pasting the content to a new message.

Could this be an old system to new system crossover type thing? I joined on May 5th, and don't remember the "old" PM system Ivan mentions. Maybe joining up after the switch to the new system has something to do with this? Though I am getting messages through to other members. Bit of a head scratcher.
Also, two dannzemans show up when I was forwarding the old PMs, if that's at all relevant.

I had a brainwave! I've forwarded one of the PMs to the second dannzeman on the list. Has that worked?

Just thought I would share that I am rarely on the forum from the computer, almost always my phone and my tablet with Tapatalk. I can delete messages just fine via that app, keep the ones I want in both inbox and sent messages, and I never run into space issues. So if you ever use the app, give that a try to free up your space and manage messages. :-)

Back to the email:
I've just discovered that I have lost virtually all my old PMs. I currently show 10 in my inbox, and 54 replies. By going through the replies, I can see that there are quite a few original messages that must have gone poof.
I remember when we went through an alteration in the PM display that when msgs were deleted, they still showed in the inbox. No more.
In the big picture, I suppose it isn't catastrophic. That said, I always was careful to keep under the limit, deleting posts that weren't needed, and would save anything I thought valuable. A member contacted me in late spring, early summer, wanting to get together over pens (same city), and now I have no mail from him and I can't remember member name, etc.
I'm not saying it is a bug. It may have been something on my end, but I'm pretty sure I'd remember deleting dozens of posts all at once. Just putting the info out there, hope it isn't something that affects others.

Jon, I'll switch it back to the threaded PM system to see if they reappear. Let me know.

Why not make a poll asking which kind of PM system users prefer?
If the threaded system is the one that's running at the moment, I like it.

I got used to the threaded system and actually got to like it once I got the hang of it. I was a bit disappointing to see it go away but am glad it's back.

So can individual PMs now get deleted to clear your Inbox? If so, I can't see how.
