Cannot delete private discussions

It would be nice to be able to delete Private Discussions, either singly, by selection or all.

Cannot delete private discussions

I agree, unfortunately it's not somthing that the friends of Flarum byobu plugin supports yet, however since that plugin is created by the person looking after Flarum who is also working with giffgaff closely, so hopefully it's somthing that will be added soon.

Flarum is about ready to sign a deal with a major partner for long term financial support which may have an impact on things. (Read what you like into that 😉)

Can you share the link to that ... save me Googling it? 😉

It's mentioned a few times by Luceos throughout this Flarum community thread for instance.

kathleen414 endorphin absolutely agree

Add one more who's in agreement , it would be nice to see the whole Private discussions remodelled to replicate ( as close as possible ) the old PM layout / functions

brulaw i couldnt agree with you more
i really liked the old PM system. i hate Private discussions giffgaff should add all the good features of private discussions n implement them into private messages.

It seems it is impossible to delete messages on the private messaging system which is a farce. I have turned off private messaging until this silly problem gets fixed.

Not keen on the new forum and this is just another reason that adds to my dislike.

timco totally agree, I don't want them piling up so why can't we delete them?

timco other than that I find the new forum ok

peterhall0012

timco why do you need to delete them I'm not bothered

shabazmoqsud

timco i agree about private discussions. another thing to consider is
is there a limit in terms of private discussions in terms of storage? if there is giffgaff have to implement a delete feature and soon. I've blocked private discussions in my setting until they are sorted out.

pw6049 Poor contrast silly writing style in the messages not good for the dyslexic all in all not an improvement a huge step backwards.

timco

peterhall0012 That is great fro you but it is about choice there may be an inappropriate message that needs deleting you may be being harassed it needs user control.

ive blocked nothing as its business as normal for me on the forum. and ive sussed how to send a PD so thats another bonus.

In the meantime I'm sure an educator could delete this kind of message if you're being harassed or receiving inappropriate messages.

Have you contacted the educators about this?

timco the feature that we had to block messages from unwanted people is not enabled yet this might be later on.

timco

extreme_one It is not about me it is a general point and why should someone be reliant on someone else to control their message feed it is just plain silly that a message board with private messaging does not give access to deleting messages.

timco The developers have already started work on improving the private messaging system. No need to worry, it'll be sorted soon enough.

My advice was designed to help you, or anyone else, in the meantime. 👍
