something funny with PM.

so my PM is filling up, i went to delete some. i checked the ones that's old and went down on the screen to pick delete.. the select action drop down was moving around and i couldn't pick delete. it was shifting left and right side of the screen. it ended up working, but for a sec, i thought the PM screen didn't want me to delete PMs.

did the same for me, but the drop window has to hit just right with the mouse and then it works

Pete,

You should try that after a few beers.

rafed,

i have case of Guinness waiting for me at home. i'll make it a point to do it after about 6 pints :) cheap thrill!!!

It always does it for me too!  Weird!  I try to transfer the info on PM trade agreements to my excel spreadsheet so I can delete immediately, but it's not so easy to have the time to do that.  That PM box fills up fast!

Bottms up;)

i can use few of those right now... had a friend in germany sometime ago. she kept on talking about smoked beer. i said what is smoked beer.. she sent me a bottle. it was most interesting beer i have ever had. it actually tasted like drinking smoked gouda. when and if i have money, i'm going to europe for beer/fig tour.

Well they have something else other than figs and beer in Amsterdam.
So I heard?

If so, then you will really have a fun time trying to chase the delete button.
Have some Doritos while you're at it.

i'll make it a point not visit amsterdam. i might not want to leave that place :)

Happens to me all the time. For awhile it was totally impossible for me to delete anything. Now it's moderately functional but I still have to play Whack-a-Mole to delete anything.

The other problem is that PM's here can be sent and never reach the person you've sent something to. So then you wonder when you don't get a response - did they not receive the message...  or are they just ignoring me...  and should I send another and seem pushy.... 

Email is much better and totally private. People may not know, but on boards, administrators have access to all pms sent within the system. I seriously doubt Jon cares, but on some forum's the members pm's do get read.

i'm sitting here looking outside and it looks beautiful. full of sun and autumn leaves. oh.. yeah.. i'm sure jon doesn't care what we say in the PM.

Just keep your mouse on the bar where the option box is and it'll stay put.  There are only 2 locations - where it starts out and where it ends up when your pointer is on the bar.  The smooth transitions make it look like it moves fluidly but it only occupies one of the 2 places.    It's easier if you put your pointer where you know it will move to rather than where it is.  It belongs to Schrodinger along with his cat.

 narrow the window so that the button cannot dance anymore..only then, I was able to delete them.

Bob,

You have to admit you felt like a cat that just had a healthy dose of catnip;)
