"delete checked PMs" (with, say, a couple check) => no effect

"delete this message?" (while viewing one you want to delete) => "Your message has been deleted" BUT when you click "PM inbox" it says "this username/password is invalid" and if you review your inbox (via some other clicking around to get back to the PM menu) your 'deleted' PM is still there.

similar weird things with the PM outbox.

"delete all" seemed to work with the outbox (though I haven't tried it with the inbox because I still have a couple I want to keep)

ahey, I can help, you know. http://www.silverchat.com/~silver/silverHarloeOnlineResume.txt . Not that I have oodles of time if I get this job I'm interviewing for next week, but..., well, thought I'd offer. and I have lots of time if I DON'T get the job :).

EDIT: I just now found you "fixed" this problem about 6 times in the past. well, it still comes up? weird, eh? (when I searched to see if I was being redundant, I searched for "PM" and didn't see it. when I searched for a different topic, I searched for "delete" and <poof> all the things I should have seen before posting this message came up)

I can't reproduce this. I tried it a few times with one or more message checked and it worked every time. :?

Ah! This one was a bug. Fixed.

Ummm... you can't delete stuff from your outbox. At least *I* can't...

re: the outbox. I don't know why I said that. I think I must have one point got fed up with being unable to delete selected messages in my inbox and used "delete all" on it. though I was pretty sure I could delete outgoing messages which were unread by the recipient? or maybe I'm on crack.

the "delete selected" with one or two messages checked still doesn't work for me (XP, IE, cookies are not disabled, but some of the other security like popup protection is enabled),
however I can confirm that I can now work around this by selecting messages individually and clicking "delete this message" (i.e. your fix worked for me. yay)

EDIT: unfortunately, I deleted all the PMs I wanted deleted before I thought of PMing you my password and having you see if it's something about my user, rather than my browser. hrm. (If I can't trust the guy with root access to the disk, I have other problems besides him knowing my password :) ).
