How to erase deleted msgs.

winmag · #1 02-26-2010, 12:04 PM

How do I get rid of all the deleted msgs on my ''winmag'' page? I can get the P.M.'s to go away, but not the messages in the ''leave a msg for winmag'' page. Is it possible or do I just leave all the ''This msg has been deleted by winmag'' postings on there?

Go back delete them again, using Physically remove

The only option it will give me is ''report''

''this message has been deleted by winmag'' 'report'

Thank you for such quick response.I read your reply and tried, but Im still confused. Sorry Len. Im pretty new with computers, so maybe Im doing something wrong.

Mybe its on some sort of time delay? Some of the deleted msgs just ''MAGICLY'' dissapeared.......cool, but weird.

Len or the Mods, Im still having trouble with this. Im sorry.
I cant find a little white square to click to re-mark the ''soft deleted'' msgs. to change it to ''remove msgs''I dont have a ''remove msgs'' button. All I have is a soft delete, leave msg. I tried clicking the blue button to change it but it doesnt change. It just highlights it. It just tells me that I didnt mark any valid messages. Ill go try again, but if it doesnt work, can I (or do I need to) give permission to anybody (mods etc) to check it out or delete it? Cause you guys have the green light if you need it.
Thanks,
TJ (winmag)
If its not fixable I guess Ill just leave em. Sorry again for my computer illiteracy. Im kickin and screamin into the 21'st century

OK. Thank you for such a quick reply. Sorry to bother you on a Saturday. Ive learned so much in so little time here that my head is still spinning. I used to think I knew a thing or two about rifles, shooting, and balistics. But what Ive gained here in knowledge in such a short time has improved my handloading and my personal ability as a shooter. I realy appreciate L/R/H. Thanks for running a great site that even ''computer retarded'' people like myself can enjoy.
