Can't delete messages

Anyone got any suggestions for clearing messages from my inbox? Marking them and trying to delete throws an error, regardless of how many are checked. My inbox is full and I have messages to release.

I have forwarded this problem to the site owner.
I have the same problem in Opera, F/Fox and Edge browsers.
Thanks for posting that link Wicky,
Chris.

I ended up deleting the messages individually.

Glad it worked for you, but that doesn't work for me,
Chris.

I'm stumped with this one. I've completely upgraded the forum software with clean files and it is still doingit!.

Looks like it needs php file code to be rejigged - should be easy to do

I upgraded the forum software to Version 3.3.0 with a more or less clean install this afternoon.

What a right pita Al.
As a work around I have found you can delete PM messages if you open the message and delete from there by clicking on the (X) as shown below at the top righthand side of the message window, right next to the avatar in that message. You can click on the screenshot to make it larger to view for those who don't already know.
I'm assuming this must have been what "freeridenick" was doing going by his post above.

Deleting messages individually still works for me - read the message then click the cross to delete. Works on my phone but I've not tried a PC yet.
3.3.1 is a software version number. The current software version is 3.3.0 so the next one should contain a fix. No clue on when that will be released though.
