Cannot delete private discussions

shabazmoqsud

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

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

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. 👍

Just a little heads up on this one...

We currently have a prototype for addressing this, which should be available on the preview site within the next day or so. I'll ping back once it's ready to check out 🙂

Awesome. Just one small thing I noticed, when you access PD's from the option in the hamburger on mobile rather than going to the member profile first, it now is missing the words Private Discussion in the the drop down at the top of the screen, it just shows blank instead.

Awesome work though, cheers Ian 🙂

Good spot, I'll get that addressed - thank you!

i_am_sy Just noticed actually, you don't seem to have the updated CSS in that screenshot. 🤔

Can you try a full page refresh? That 'Start a private discussion' should be the giffgaff themed yellow....
