I see really old messages I deleted a long time ago. They don't seem to be in any type of order. I try to sort by date, but they don't sort right. And where are the messages I send out?

Still, when I go to my "Inbox" and see a list of messages, and I try to sort them by date, they don't sort by date. :knothead:

My change everytime I click it.. First to last or last to first.
I deleted 90% of mine, John. That helped. Actually I only kept the passed 2 weeks of messages.
Post by: jsweka on March 27, 2018, 08:28:35 PM
I deleted all but my most recent 2 messages. We'll see if that helps moving forward.
I'm getting old and needing to learn new things pisses me off now :biglaugh:

I'll bet that fixes it up for you, John....

though i had deleted 99% of them when i was in the old forum, that software never really did remove them, and all the messages were returned during the conversion. a quick 2 second prune and they were all gone.

Yeah, when I hit the sort by button it just shuffles my messages. Doesn't sort them in descending or ascending...just jumbles them up.
just click on the column heading names to sort by date, subject, or from.

Bigger problem is Roy as a moderator. Tough to get good help. :biglaugh:

if you need to be more filter selective, click ACTIONS, SEARCH MESSAGES.

Rob - no matter which button I click on, or filter I use, my PM's will not be arranged in either ascending or descending order by date. I've tried it 5 or 6 times. Again, it is not a big deal for me. It looks like others are experiencing the same and I thought you may want to know. If not, also no big deal.
dunno why yer having that problem, i don't as you can see on a new-to-old sort (by clicking on the word "Date") i just did ...

Rob, mine does that when I hit the arrow by date but when I leave the page and come back to it it’s reversed. Is there a way to get it to stay with the latest pm’s at the top of the list?
always first look at yer profile for switches to make changes on most anything.
there's one there for what you want and i just set it for ya - see if yer PMs are lookin better ....

Rob, I have messages I want from both 2017 and 2018. When I sort by date it sorts by month first so the January 2017 messages are ahead for the feb 2018. Is this a date format issue that is an option?
Mike
i don't understand yer question. it sorts dates either ascending or descending. there are filters and rules than can be applied to messages. look at the 'actions' and 'preferences' tabs in your messaging menu.

Got pissed and just deleted all of them!

Guys go to your profile, then click modify profile, then personal messaging then click show most recent pm at top. A check mark should appear and you should be good to go.
And above that you can select to have messages displayed as a conversation so that you can see your replies easier.

Checked the box and refreshed. PMs still are jumbled but appear to sort by month and then year instead of the reverse. My format doesn't even look like your screenshot. Rob go to my account and take a look. I'm probably doing something wrong but so are a lot of users.
thanks for your help.
