Q. When I delete my PMs to trash and then get another PM and go to reply to it, all the PMs that person has sent me come back up, it is so frustrating to have to scroll down so far to be able to answer the PM, why does this happen, and why isn't the trash working, I would like to be able to delete all PMs except the ones I choose to keep. Please help!!

Q. "I am a new member. My account has a daily two message limit (counting both sent and received). Is this only for new members and does it get lifted at some point? It makes chatting with a person very drawn out.

Thanks!"

A. Our system needs to learn to trust you more, so please participate with our community so over time you will become more trusted so you can send more private messages.

Q. Could you please tell me how to use Multi Quote feature?? I cannot figure it out for nothing! Thanks

A. The instructions should show when you hover over the multi quote icon in any post. They say:


Quote:

What I have found works is clicking the multi quote buttons, then clicking the reply button in the last multi-quoted post.
