Help: computer gremlin

Well folks, it's at it again. When my archive of PM's gets too long, I like to delete most of them. Never had a problem before, but, suddenly, today, It does not respond and I cant delete old PM's. Any ideas?

I like to take my piece and fire it right into the computer. Hitting the modem should do the trick.

try archiving them - if thats what you mean.
if thats what you normally do then I guess the Mud is a bit thick tonight.

I hate to look ignorant, but I am. What's a PM?

kendall is referring to his collection of essays and articles on British (P)rime (M)inisters. Deleting old PM's has always been a problem.

Margaret Thatcher simply refuses to go away, and even Harold Wilson hung around for ever.

A PM is short for personal message. I have always been able to delete these when the archive gets too big. I'll do the jokes.

Look in the FAQ for info about using and archiving PMs, misoph. It's a little messaging feature within the Mudcat for dialogues with members. You get their by clicking on Personal pages at the top of the screen there.

Let's let this thread die. For some reason, the delete feature works now, as it should. I swear this thing has a nasty streak!
