About Soft Deleting - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I wish to delete some visitor messages but I am only allowed to "soft delete" them. I would like to delete them completely. What do I do?

***Morning Glory*** · 12-31-2007, 11:39 PM

I deleted them for you.

I'll check the settings tomorrow to see what permissions are available.

***Morning Glory*** · 01-01-2008, 02:24 PM

I found the permissions and changed them so members can delete visitor messages in their profile.

Bozo · 01-01-2008, 05:49 PM

For Your help. I appreciate it.

Sorry to pester, but I am unable to completely delete visitor messages. Any ideas as to what I should do next??

And dont waste much of your time on it, its not that big of a deal, I just like things nice and tidy.

***Morning Glory*** · 01-02-2008, 10:26 PM

I changed the permissions so you should be able to now.

Did you try it again?

***Morning Glory*** · 01-02-2008, 10:27 PM

I see you did try. I'll go take another look.

Bozo,
I read the permissions a little closer and it allows you to delete your own visitor messages and manage messages of others with no details on what that means. I'll keep looking for another set of permissions, but I can't find anything else right now.

Tanya,
You have firefox on your computer. Did you try using it?
Click start
Click All Programs
Find Mozilla FireFox
Click on Mozilla FireFox and try it.

You also may have a toolbar installed that might interfere. I see FunWebProducts, which is adware and comes with MyWebSearch toolbar.

You might try running this spyware program. It's the best I've found that's free.

SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware!

CCleaner is another good program that gets rid of all the junk on your computer.

CCleaner - Home

You also might consider upgrading to Internet Explorer 7

Internet Explorer: Get It Now

Here is the windows critical update link.

Morning Glory -

I am having the same dilemma with the whole 'soft delete' thing ... what to do?

***Morning Glory*** · 02-01-2008, 01:07 AM

I'll have to spend some time testing permissions to see if anything will solve the soft delete problem. I might not have to get to it for a couple of weeks.

barb dwyer · 02-01-2008, 03:58 AM

ok - no problem - just trying to keep the ol' page tidy.

thank you for ALLL you do ...
