Conversation / PM folders

I'm returning to TB after some time off due to the usual work/life craziness and am still finding my way around the new (to me, at least) forum setup. One thing I'm missing badly is the ability to arrange my PMs in folders instead of one huge pile. Is this just operator error on my part, or is this no longer possible?

Folders are no longer available, but PREFIXES are to Supporting Members :) You can assign each of your conversations a prefix (such as "personal", "classifieds", or whatever you want). Then, to list all messages with a certain prefix, just click on the prefix.

First, you have to set up your prefixes: http://www.talkbass.com/account/conversation-prefixes

Then when you create a conversation, select a prefix if you desire:

Organize your inbox by selecting multiple conversations and choose "Set Conversation Prefix":

And finally, to see only conversations with a certain prefix, just click on the prefix:

Hope this helps!
