Private messages

I noticed this today too - message saying a pm has been deleted at user's request. I too wondered why someone would ask to have their pm to me deleted.

I always forget to look at the Gransnet Inbox At one time, I used to get an e-mail notification if a Gransnet message was waiting but I don't get it any more. I don't know why.

I clear old messages and I can tell you that it does generate that message to the person who originally sent the pm.
It’s just a spring clean of the inbox.

That is exactly what happened to me with messages from lemongrove. Those from her when she was under another name are still there. I think the whole scenario is very strange.

I have a suspicion that it's a computer glitch. I've had reason to query this as well and as so many other cyber-things go wrong, I settled on that explanation. Could be wrong of course.

EllaKeat you can be pretty certain your friends didn't snub you in any way. As you can see, it happens to us all.

Hope you're feeling perkier today .

Yes, even in this virtual world we can be upset that we may have offended someone's feelings and they've cut us off. Glad you're feeling better about it all Ella Keat.

It’s not just clearing messages out lemongrove I know you have a spring clean and some other posters do too You also get the same happen when a poster leaves GN but what we are talking about is when the messages disappear just after you wrote them , mid conversation sometimes and you ask the other person if they removed them and they answer ‘no but yours have been deleted too’ and yet they have the usual message against them ‘message deleted at posters request’
It may be a glitch but whatever it is it’s not nice as it leaves you wondering what you said wrong

Yes BlueBelle these messages disappeared 2 days and 1 day after they had been sent.
I had just replied for the second time, and less than an hour later the messages had been removed.

That us why I was so perplexed. But it really does not matter.
