Title: Questions about getting rid of PM's
Post by: Ace on December 03, 2013, 02:22:18 AM
Not really sure if this is the right place to ask this but if not then a mod please move it, but I was wondering everyone's opinion on keeping PM's. I was wondering if I should delete the messages from like more than 4 or 5 months ago or longer? Is it smarter to keep them? Also along with that is it ok to delete the recent PM's I have got but r not for trades or anything? I'm asking so that way to keep a little better track of trade offers and confirmed trades and what not. Any advise would be awesome.

If the pms are from successful trade you know you won't need in the future or just reminders it something, deleting them seems fine, but current trades and important information should be kept.

What I do is have one pm from each active trade so I can know if I should be expecting something.  After it's completed, I delete it.  It keeps my inbox uncluttered, and if you want to see an old pm, just click on their name, then on the page with private page and send a message, halfway down, o'clock messages and it has your message history.

Great that actually helps a lot! Thanks!

I realy don't care about deleting messages and just leave them. Who cares If I delete this or that message? There's no limit on the number you can have

It's CDO!  Get it right.  Arrange those letters alphabetically.

And you can always find your messages by going to the person in question message log of your communications.  There is no reason to keep messages.  If you delete old ones, you are more organized and it makes life easier.
otr if you are like mlerner and I, you can leave all of them, do no work, and it makes life easier too. Just whatever your personal preference for improving the quality of life.
