Sometimes deleting messages doesn't work! With 24 pages of "new' messages ,it's pretty frustrating when I check delete on one's I've read or replied to they keep reappearing! Almost as annoying as the 2 step!

Karl,  I find it easier to scan a page....press select ALL and then  click the few I want to keep (it un-deletes them.) before hitting DELETE.  It's much  faster....of course I still have to hit DELETE twice.

I have a blocker on FF. I do get the "are you sure" message and click that,but the deletes may or may not happen.

The problem with the back and delete is that the message list goes back to page 1! I have 33 pages tonight!

In replies I've learned to "copy" the heading which disappers when you try to resend. with replies to posts they don't disappear!

 I have found that deleting up to 3 messages at one time works best for me.  Also, after reading a message, you can hit the back button and just delete that particular message.  Don't try to do too many at once--works for me! Claire

I hear ya Karl!

 

The Deletes and sending a response to a post sometimes don't happen when you hit the buttons.  You have to go away for a while and upon your return to the site, wala -- they're finally done.  But it is frustrating especially when you have a lot in your message box.

Do you get the pop up "Are you sure" window every time you try to delete? I wonder if blocking pop ups would prevent deletion.
