Hey all, was wondering if there's a way to retrieve deleted PM's. I checked which messages I wanted to delete but accidentally hit the delete all button ( and didn't realize it until my inbox refreshed and there was nothing in there.

I don't think there is a way. (

I did that, it had all my trade stuff in there. I had to recontact my trades for their paypal addys and what not.

They shouldnt put the two buttons right next to eachother but now I just delete messages one by one

Yea, I had all my trade info in there too. Don't know what the need is for a delete all button. Oh well, time to do some detective work to figure out who I was trading with.

Oof, yeah, that sucks. Suppose now that you mention it there isn't much need for a "delete all," particularly since there's a "mark all" feature on the bottom. Or at least, make the confirmation say something like "[b1b3988ba9b]Delete[/b1b3988ba9b] all selected [b1b3988ba9b]50[/b1b3988ba9b] messages?"

Personally what I'd like to see is a feature that lets you save all selected messages as a txt file. That way you can clear up space on the system no problem while still having a nice backup of the messages on your own HD. D

I hate when that happens. It's happened to me too before.

I agree because the delete confirmation for delete all and delete selected are the same, that's why I didn't notice I clicked delete all because it just said something like, are you sure you want to delete the messages.
