Hi not new but a noobie question?

[dave44]

How do i delete my messages? Where is the delete button? I have looked for ages and it is not in the "selected" menu at the bottom after all are selected, and it is not in profile settings or similar, so where is it, and why did anyone not put a simple delete option in the messages page (are they keeping our messages inline for some reason ?

There is a 5 minute window in which a user can edit or delete a post. After that point it is permanent outside of rare circumstances.

I think he may be talking about profile posts...?

Are you referring to private messaging?
If so you simply leave the PM. There is a button to give you that option. It then disappears from your page.

After reading the OP again - yes, that seems to make more sense...

So there is not a delete option, only a "leave PM", suppose all messages are kept by the system until I delete account then?/ Nevermind, I saw the "ignore future replies and keep deleted". Thanks.
