    Emptying PMs

    Sorry if this has been said before, but when I went to empty my "Sentbox" (Sent Items) or whatever you call it, when asked the question "Are you sure you want to empty the folder", I was only given an option of "Yes".

    Here's evidence:

    I can't offer any help or explanation but if you want to remove the PMs and still be able to refer to them you can download them as an XML file before you delete them and then later use my Private Message Viewer to view them.

    That would be a software design (usability) issue with the forum software we use here (vBulletin). As stated, if you don't want to delete them, use the back button, navigate to a different area, or close the browser -- just don't click 'Yes'
