I didn't delete mine. I saw there was a message. Went to open it and it just said that the message had been removed at users's request

Sorry to be dim - do you mean you didn't delete the message you had receieved or a message you had sent?

I think that if someone sent you a message and then deleted what they had sent you it would give you the message you received. Equally if they deleted you had sent them that would also show in your inbox as deleted ...

Hmmmm, apparently, I was sent some pm messages today but, as I've been at work all day, couldn't access GN until this evening. No sign of those on messages in my inbox. hmm

Yes! I've seen one of those. I just believed the user's request comment

Shocking if that's not the case!

Well if it was one of mine, I didnt - so what is going on?

Most peculiar

I think it might be that if the person you sent it to deletes it then you get that message??

I am extremely concerned that Private Messages I have sent to some members have been removed ostensibly “at user’s request”.
This is SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
I understood PMs were precisely that, ie “private” so nobody has the right to read, let alone delete them although I realise they do disappear if a member leaves GN.
I wonder if GNHQ would care to comment?
