    Can someone please tell me how to delete a conversation?
    I've looked intently and do not see a way.
    Thanks
     
  2. I'm sending you a conversation. I'll explain it to you there.

    How do I delete old "conversations"? Previously known as "private messages".
     
  4. Click on the box to select the message you want to delete, then click on the other action tab and then on leave conversation then on go.

    i'm not seeing any of that stuff, no other action tab, no leave conversation, nothing. i try checking the boxes next to the conversations, nothing happens. i suppose all of us dummies will have 100's of millions of saved conversations and it will eventually shut down the internet
     
  6. 2 ways to do this; first, go to your conversations page. Next, select the conversation you wish to delete by "checking" the box next to the conversation title (circled below)

    When you check the box, the following dialogue box appears;
    delete convo2.jpg

    If you wish to select all messages, you can 'check' "Select All" as shown;

    Now that you have selected the messages you wish to delete, pull down the drop menu and select "Leave Conversations" as shown and hit "GO".

    Uhhh, no...it don't work...I cannot check the boxes...no check mark appears nor does the drop down box...
     
  8. Same problem, can't check the box.

    End up selecting them all, then un-checking the ones I want keep.

    Funny how the box can not be checked; but can be in-checked!

    Gonna log in my wife's computer and see if it works right on that machine.

    Can you try one more time for me?

    Also, what browser are you on? Internet Explorer 8 by chance?

    OK, that one wasn't a bug then... that one was just my fault.

    I must admit the new conversations are easier to delete then the old way when you had to delete the incoming and then sent to get the same effect as now. Two thumbs up :cool:

    I went through the steps outlined above and it didn't work. They are all still there.
