Looking good TB.

I'm not a fan of the layout and very numerous options that pop up when trying to delete private messages. In fact, I can't seem to even figure out how to do it. And I'd like to clean it up a bit.

Use the "Leave Conversation" option. It will ask you if you want to accept future messages pertaining to that conversations, so you will get that popup after you choose Leave.

It's eye opening to me how different we all think. In my mind, 'leave conversation' makes sense for ending a conversation. As in 'I am going to leave this conversation, it's over'. On the other hand, I can also see how it sounds to you. That makes sense as well. Having a 'delete' button would be much simpler in my opinion.

I agree, and when I first began using this software (not here), it was definitely a hurdle.
From a computer-centric mind frame, it makes more sense to use 'delete' than 'leave conversation'. Conjecture here, but it may have been designed with a larger (maybe less computer geeky so to speak) audience in mind.
Gonna go back and look into this, as it's something I overlooked previously.

Now I'm really confused. Even from a non-computercentric perspective, "leave conversation" means to me "I don't want to continue this conversation anymore right now." It doesn't mean that I'll never want to pick it up again at some point in the future, and it certainly doesn't mean that I want to erase any record of it ever having happened!
 
If you haven't tried the blue forum retro style (select style here) then I think you should. I like it a lot better than the default style.

If you still feel like leaving ... goodbye. ;)

Sadly it's still awful.

Vbulletin is the only option worth acknowledging. I don't care what the the admins say about it. This is terrible. I will never be a supporting member for this forum again nor will I even open the site unless I have a specific reason to be forced here.

That's understandable, which is why when you click to leave it asks you if you want to resume the conversation later. You can say yes. :D

Are you going to make a ragequit thread about this? You could do what everybody else did and just stop coming around.

Seriously, you can hear a pin drop around here since the update. I really hope it picks up.
