Bryce Allcorn - BritFlight.co.uk Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 All my messages (PM's) have disappeared for the month of July - any idea where and why and how do I get them back? I had some useful info there. Cheers, Bryce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Well it's curious. I've just asked our web tech about this and they've told me.... ....a message is really just a single row in a database table with a FromMemberID and ToMemberID number in it. So basically if EITHER of them choose to delete the message then it will disappear from the database for both of them. Messages will disappear from his inbox if the sending person deletes them from their sent box Which isn't very satisfactory yet I can't see why I haven't had many many more complaints till now. Anyone else noticed this? Edited By David Ashby - RCME moderator on 03/08/2009 13:48:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Allcorn - BritFlight.co.uk Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Must be it then, most of them were from David and they have vanished - you been tidying up David? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yes, funnily enough I cleared out my 'sent messages' folder last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Allcorn - BritFlight.co.uk Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Can you send me your contact details again - I'll save them elsewhere. I have top tips learnt last week: Don't relocate a factory, go to a different internet hosting provider and spend several nights away from home when your wife is 6months pregnant - nothing quite works out the way you planned it.....

David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 An update from our web-tech chaps who've got straight onto the issue Messages are now only deleted when both parties have asked for them to be deleted. If only 1 party deletes them, then the message is in fact not deleted but just hidden from view. I wasn't aware I must admit so my apologies to anyone who's wondered why their messages have disappeared. All should be well going forward.

Basil Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Jioned the conversation late but.................. Surely this should NOT be so. Cant the Software writters correct this? Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I followed this and got an email when Basil posted so it seems likely that it's not a general problem. Martin, perhaps your emails are being sent to a different email account to the one you normally use? Could you check which address you are using and that it's the same as the one associated with your profile - mr******t@*~*net.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
