This is to congratulate animaniactoo for winning the 'honor' of being my 1000th Personal Message here in caedes! I have tried and tried to get rid of all these(after saving the ones I want to keep for posterity)...but to no avail have I yet to find a way to get rid of them...any suggestions? Or shall I just move on to getting more of these wonderful PMs from such great friends..in any case, thank you ALL for the many informative and funny and interesting PMs...that's for sure !!
As for your PMs Verena, all I can tell you is to weed through them & delete. It's what I do. Or why not save the ones you want either to Notepad or some file somewhere on your HD & THEN go through & delete like a wild woman.
you could create a new screen name .. how about "blooverena .. start out fresh with no PMs
how about .. create an individual text file with the names of all the people who say something worth keeping .. when you get a PM from that person, open the text file and paste it in .. then put a divider blow it .. like this
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
keep all the text files in a folder
but, then, what would we do without the annual "What am I to do with all of these PMs" thread?
I have saved all the ones I want, and would like to get RID of all the ones here in caedes now. but to put a check mark on one thousand of them???????? Omygawd..that would take me wayyyyyyyyyy too long. YIKES..I was told long ago by a MOD that caedes would actually get rid of them after a certain number was reaches? what in heck would that number be? since I've already reached a thousand??!! Another question...why is this writing in this particular Offtopic soo wide??? what happened? how do I change that? Help!!
try this .. delete one a day .. ask all of your friends to NOT send you anymore, certainly not more than the one a day you are deleting
otherwise you could be here a while
(*and .. the page was WIDE because I had too many @'s .. but I don't anymore, because I asked my friends not to send me any more until I got them deleted ... see? .. it works for @'s.. *)
"I'd recommend against deleting all your PMs because I will eventually be adding the ability to move messages into different folders (much like an email client). You never know if you might want to go back and read a given message"
Geri said that, too...in Jan '06...must've been yanking our chains :|
(guess verena still hasn't gotten around to deleting them since then)
BIG congrats Cat!! I'm sure a plethora of cash 'n' prizes are on the way!!
Baby steps!! Baby steps!!
You could just select "ALL" and then "DELETE"...oh wait, we don't have those basic functionalities yet. Oh well, the sites still new and just coming together!! 8~O
I proffer a deal… A1 is movin in and I'm slowly housecleanin (in line w/my "large tedious tasks" theory) in preparation for that... you come help me, and I'll log in on your account and delete your pm's for you. 8•P
Ok so if I delete 20 a day....that would work, but what if I receive 20 a day?!! Oh my the price we pay!! Yes, whatever would happen if we had the luxury of "Delete All"...but oh well, that would be much toooo easy eh?!!
