Can't find a private message exchanged with another member

In summary, the forum software hides older private messages and conversations, but there is a "Show all" link to bring them back. The software only keeps them for 1 year, even if it's a conversation with just one person. After one year of inactivity, the software will delete the conversation.

Hi,

I was checking my private messages under "Conversations" but was only able to see one conversation. I'm sure that I had more messages there. Are the private messages/conversations get deleted after some time? Thanks!

The forum software hides the older ones. There’s. a “Show all” link in the bottom left corner of the dialog box that brings the old ones back.

I think they only keep them for 1 year.

If it's a conversation with just one person and they leave it, what happens?

It stays in your account, until the software deletes it after one year of inactivity.
