Technique for managing SF "Conversations" section

[JBR]

I've enjoyed many conversations with members. I'm sure it's simple, but how do I delete conversations that were completed and are now inactive. Please understand it's not that I want to ignore a member, just want to do some housekeeping on those conversations that came to a conclusion. Thanks

If you click in your conversation box on the title of a conversation you see this:



Then click on "Leave" and this appears. Choose "Accept" or "Ignore" future messages and click again on "Leave".

So there are "Conversations" which are presumably private. How about "Profile Posts", with appear to be viewable by any that visit a member's profile page. Can they be deleted or made private?

WHERE exactly is the Conversation box?

 

[Warrigal]

It is the envelope icon next to the bell icon on the top bar. Right hand side.

I think that Edit and Delete are still available on Profile Posts that you personally post. But you can't delete posts that others have posted. I imagine you can ask Matrix.

Once you hit send you forfeit any expectations of privacy.

Not in Conversations. You have a choice of private, open to several participants (specified members), or open in general.

I’m not so sure that you can control the recipient’s behavior.

That may be. But, as to privacy, I trust the SF members who have exchanged with Me in Conversations, and they can trust me.

Aha! Through my keen powers of observation() and my naturally adventuresome attraction to experimentation I discovered that in fact a Profile Post can be deleted, if so desired.

Thank you Warrigal.

Can anyone tell me what information is required in the "TITLE" section of a new conversation (in Senior Forums)? I'm not allowed to send the message without first completing that field. Thank you.

Sorry, I'm just seeing this now. Yep, the last post by someone else on my profile page was made more than a year ago and the "delete" is still there if I'd want to get rid of it.

Hi Kate.

 

[CallMeKate]

If you mean in the PM private messages, it can be anything at all... if you mean to start a new forum thread, that would need to be descriptive and not vague.

I clicked on the envelope and chose option to start a new conversation, entered the recipient's name in the address section, the next section asks for a Title.

Yes.... that can be anything. "Hi" "About Your Post" "Hey There".... no rules on what it should be. Of course, if it's out of line, it will most likely be reported by the recipient.

Fill the "title" box with the subject you want to talk about with the recipient.

THANKS KATE!!! Okay.

you just write in whatever it is you've come to have a PM with the other person about...for example.. '''Jimmy is driving me nuts... or your conversation about TV shows...or whatever it is your PMing them for...

@CallMeKate , After I posted that, I re-visited my Profile page and discovered that in fact those posts could be deleted.
