PMs all gone?

[badderjet 181]

Hello team,

suppose the vast majority of my PM conversations is gone. TBH I don't look at them often, but neither do I recall having deleted them all. I wonder if there was some kind of a forum reset in between? Just wondering, as there was quite a long list of conversations for sure in the past.

As far as I know we are not deleting PMs.  You have to do that yourself.  Perhaps I'm not understanding your question.

IIRC, Tom removed all PMs older than some date a few months ago.

That's sort of what I meant. Was there some kind of advance notice? And is there just any way to recover those deleted ones?

You sure about this  since just just checked my messenger tab  on top and still got my messages still from 2013, I take it pms  and the messenger icon are one the same?

I apologize for spreading rumors. I could have sworn I have read a statement of Tom on that subject subject, but I can't find it, so I guess it exists on ly in my imagination.

Flo,

 

I think Tom restricted searches to 2 years. I've never heard of anyone keeping PM's for very long though. I don't anyway.

 

Best regards,

Hmm alright, well that's too bad. Since there was a lot of valuable information and anyways 99% of mine were definately older than 2 years. Wonder if they're still somewhere retrievable if only the search is restricted for now.

They have not been deleted and they are still there.
