Forum Hosting - View Single Post - If you are having any errors with your forum on the FFF servers

I noticed that since the server forum overhaul last month for all the FFF IPB forums, that a feature that is part of the Private Messaging (PM) has changed. Perhaps it is a configurable host setting you can change back?

In the user controls Messenger section under the left side user control menu item "Message Tracker" page, there is a section titled "Unread Messages"
Prior to the server/software upgrade last month, my FFF IPB forum offered this under that section: "The messages shown here have not been read by the person they were sent to. You may delete them before they are read."
I could enable message tracking with a checkbox when I sent a PM and could delete the PM completely if it hadn't been read by the recepiant yet, perfect for correcting something I didn't catch right away.

However now after the software/server upgrade on the FFF IPB forums, that feature is gone and now it shows this instead under Unread Messages: "The messages shown here have got a read receipt by the recipient. You can untrack these messages."
It doesn't offer the ability to delete a unread PM anymore now and even checking the listed message to untrack it doesn't seem to do anything.

Can this PM feature for tracking and allowing deletion of an unread PM be restored as it used to be? Thank you for anything that can be done, I used this feature a lot in the past and miss it now. All other forum features seem back to normal and of course the speed and performance has remained great since the upgrade - thanks!
