It's similar to how text messaging on your phone works, and is laid out in the same way.

Even text messaging allows you the option to delete some or all of a conversation.  This change does not. So it appears Delphi is taking the easy way out and not allowing the user any option ......... it's all or nothing.  It's a total disaster!

Hi Cstar -

Where does the conversation go once you've read it . . . have clicked on the new button for a few and then they disappear. How does one open up a previous conversation and continue it . . .

Also, in the compose box there is no way to drop a line for a new paragraph now. If you hit, as in the old PM format, the enter button it posts what one has already written. That is going to take some getting used to . . .

Not a happy camper with this new format . . . let alone ticked there was no notice or any chance for members to give any input before a change.

Edit: Disregard on where the convo's go . . . just found them at the very bottom of even old ones that thought had deleted . . .

Honestly? Old deleted messages are there again?

You are at least the second person to mention this but I am not seeing it at all. Are you sure the actual messages are reappearing and it is not the conversation is there with those messages deleted? THAT I have noticed - makes for some hilarious reading lol

I AGREE!

Sorry for shouting but I end up sending 4 or 5 PMs when I could have sent one.

@Cstar - to my lengthy requests <grin> may I suggest that Shift Enter works to drop down one line and does not Send. Please and thank you!

How do you view your sent messages to a person, there is no option to see your sent messages.

This is horrible, why would they play around with PM's when they worked just fine for everyone.

Any message you sent shows in the Conversation with that person.

The changes were made because people asked for a way to mass delete their PM's. We realize we don't have it quite right yet, and are still working on making it better. 

Cstar is correct. If you click on "show all" under any conversation it will open with every received and sent PM  for that person.  Problem is, the only option you have it to save every conversation or delete the entire conversation.  You are unable to save parts of a conversation you have with any particular person.  For example,  for one person it shows I have over 100 messages  (combination of sent and received PMs).  Most of the messages can be deleted but there are parts of each conversation that I need to save, because of the content.  With the new format the way it is, there is no way to do that .  It's all or nothing. 

Cstar message to you indicates, they are still working on making it better for everyone. 

I hope this helps you. I know for me, to be able to save what I want and delete what I want will be a great advantage.  Also , if I wish to delete an entire conversation that would be good too.
