Hi,

I have a message in my "Outbox" in the messaging system which has been there since 2022, to a user who is now inactive.

I would like to delete it.

When I mark it for deletion, I get this error message:

"The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again."

Try using whiteout.

(I'll bring it up to the development team, seriously.)

There isn't a "whiteout" option so I'm not sure what you mean, Darg.

There isn't a "whiteout" option so I'm not sure what you mean, Darg.

Step One: Purchase some "whiteout" at an office supply store. (I THINK it still exists)

Step Two: When you notice that old unopened message, use the whiteout to paint over it on your computer screen.

Step Three: It no longer is visible to annoy you!

How could this go wrong?

Oh you mean correction fluid.

You brits are like the french... you have a different word for everything!

Sorry Darg but this reminds me of that old joke.
US people kept the English word "pavement" for a while but they were often hit by cars. So they switched to "sidewalk" and finally understood they needed to walk by the side

I believe that!

In French they call it "Correcteur liquide".

We USians do still use "pavement" to reference any paved/non-dirt surface (well, at least where I grew up). A forest path that's paved, for example, is still pavement. Although, now that I think about it, "pavement" tends to be used more to reference asphalt as opposed to concrete, but I've used it for both.

In Greece, we call it blanco; it is white, after all!
(officially is called correction fluid, but in every day's talk, it is just blanco)

Tippex or Snopake
