Messaging just got a whole lot easier.
Check out your messages here – you’ll notice that your inbox now gives you the option to mark all your messages as read or unread…and the often requested mass deletion feature is now available! Just hit “select all” and “delete”.
1000 eProps to Ayça and Justin for this one.

Thank goodness!! I’ve been waiting for you guys to do that!!!
*HUGS*
cool I’ll probably be using this.
Thanks soooo much! This will make my life a lot more easy. You guys are awesome!
Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you!
thanks so much. now can y’all do this to the subscriptions feature? can we just be able to go through and delete people we’re subbed to?
…
*wets pants*
…
oh yeah baby. warm all over from that. aw crap, i need to change.
Ah, thank you. The ability to delete spam messages without opening them. Sweet.
Thanks! I’ve been waiting for this.
Thank you!!!
AWESOME! Thank you guys!
I think I’ve found a problem. When there are multiple messages in the thread, it only deletes one. Or am I doing something wrong?
thankyou so much!!!
Oh seriously….you guys just made my day!
You guys rock!
Whoo-hoo! Thanks!
Thanks guys!!
sweettttt!!!! thank you so much!
THANK YOU!!!
i hope that isn’t the cause of the drastically increased time it takes everything to load recently…
Fantastic, I am going to being testing this out straight away.
Thank you for all for improving the message box.
That was much needed. Yay, and thank you.
Now, if you could only do this with our posts!! I’m still not satisfied with the fact that we have to delete them ONE. AT. A. TIME.
When I chatted with you guys via video-chat that one time, you suggested just locking the site (or making it friends-only) during the deletion process, but … hello? We’re talking upwards of a thousand posts to individually delete (and/or privatize and/or make protected).
*whew*
YEA!!!
FINALLY!! Yay!
Huzzah!
Terrific guys!
x
about “dang skippy” time…that is freakin’ AWESOME!!! you guys rock…AGAIN!!!
HURRAH! Wonderful update!
about time =]
This did not include the ‘sent’ box? It should…
Xanga Rocks, I told ya!
Wooot. Been waiting for this for a long time. =D
Disregard what I said. Thanks!
This is wonderful news! Thank you so much – I’ve been waiting for this!!
SUGGESTION: Could you possibly make our Universal Inbox function like an Inbox? I’d like to be able to delete read blogs, pulses, photos, etc. or at least show that they have been clicked on. Is this possible??
yesssssssss
i was able to delete all my messages except one. it was over 15 messages long (replies? long) and i had to go finally go in and delete everyone one at a time. bug?
Much better.
@msbutterfli - ditto
Whew, ’bout time! Thanks!
haha finally
Awesome because I’m guilty of just letting them sit there so this will come in handy to delete them all if I don’t get lost again since I sometimes get confused and can’t find them.
The read/unread for messages is convenient, but I prefer the mass delete go to weblog entries. Please make a feature that caters more to the actual blog, thanks.
Many of my messages contain more than one message/reply. When I hit select all and delete, the ones that have more than one message in them (from the sender), the mass delete feature only deletes one sent message (if that even makes sense). Is there a way I can delete everything rather than just the individual messages? (again, if that even makes sense)
i found a bug…
select all
delete
select the top one
delete
notice the top one is not deleted
i love you, xanga. just for adding this feature haha
FINALLY! YAY!!!
Wow, I didn’t realize I needed this until you mentioned it, then I thought: “Yeah… we don’t have that… wow, it’s a good thing they got it. ^_^”
Awesome idea!
please, now give us the ability to arrange by sender and date, and i’ll be a very happy xangan. there are love letters that i want to re read sometimes and it’s a pain going back thru so many messages.
Thanks you! I’m on my way to clean house.
Hurray…….fantastic – well done! V
not one to complain, but isn’t this a basic feature that should have already been included???
Thank you, Xanga Team!
Hooray!
YES !!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
wooooo hooooo!!! it works perfectly!
thanks! you’d be surprised at much junk messages i get a week and it’s been a pain to get rid of them before now!
Thanks, I’m glad that the inbox is actually an inbox!
THANK YOU!!!!!
@jerjonji - I’m glad that you brought this up because I’m wondering, XANGA TEAM, why I keep getting messages addressed to so-and-so’s friends … EVEN THOUGH I’M NOT THEIR *FRIEND*.
It’d be nice to NOT be spammed through the messaging system.
That’s awesome, thanks for adding it!
And if there was an option of changing the font, adding smileys, and inserting links (just like with leaving comments on an entry) that’d be pretty sweet, too…*hint hint*
just a thought,
i think you guys should make an xanga mobile,like what myspace has and facebook,where you can check xanga messages when your not online
thnx u for making it easier
woo… not that I have many messages anyway
Ummm… Looking at comments on blogs is going so slow these days – who has time to look at messages. Honestly, I have a high speed connection, but these days when I click on the comments link on a post, I can take a two minute break before the dang thing comes back to me. Then when I submit a comment it does the same thing. I really do not have time to waste two minutes every time I click comments.
finally… its about time. i dont know how these features werent in place from the start!
i agree with some of the other comments, that we should be able to delete subscriptions and subscribers this way too.
and, when it comes to posts, there needs to bo be a way to ‘mass’ delete, privitize, or protect posts.
there should also be a way to quickly find any posts that are private or protected. right now, you have to go thru all of them and seach that way. there should be a button or something that says public protected private. when you click each of those buttons, youll be taken to a page with all the related posts.
@Donkey_Guy_10 - i agree with you. ive also found that plugz really slow down the load time of the page. i think they should be removed!
@doraemonxo - i agree… how was this NOT there for the start?
thanks! now if you could just make a button to make all posts private/protected/public so i dont have to go post by post by post by post by post by post… well you get the idea.
That’s great! Works like a charm. Now how about that same functionality on sent items?
@xlilsecretx - love all these ideas!! ditto, ditto!!
At last!!
Thank you guys. I finally conquered my inbox, after way too much neglect.
Oh, finally! Thank you.
TG, I’ve been waiting for this too.
Two good updates in a row. Three and you’ll be on a roll. =]
Yay for improvements!
cmcm
COOK ;D
thanks so much! the xanga team rocks! *hugs*
Yay! Something useful. It was tedious deleting those messages.
You guys need a raise. And stuff. =)
Nice, improved layout.
Perhaps you guys could add more to the message text boxes. Just a suggestions.
Now if only I’d get more Love letters….
i have a question that’s not related to this. i’m wondering why “unknowns” can log into a xanga locked site? like it shows which state they’re from.
Thank you so much! That was one feature that was definitely needed. Is there plans to do the same for the other message boxes??? Thanks again for this clears up a whole lot of clutter!
ty ! i was waiting for this .
how about a ‘forward’ feature ? that`d be nice .
I have a suggestion?
The little orange person that indicates when a person online was a genious idea! So to continue it…i was curious as to whether it would be possible for you to have, included with the other choices, an option in blogrings to see who is online. You have the ability to see who’s updated recently, and who’s joined it most recently by having it listed in order in which they joined, and as well you have the option to see them in alphabetical order. So to make things even more convienient (especially in the roleplaying community) to have the ability to see which of your friends are online, that would be insanly(sorry if i spelled it wrong!) awesome!
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
♥Haley
phew! finally! i hated that part…one by one by one deletes. so time consuming!
Awesome!
hello
this is what i’ve been waiting for. thanks!!!!!
Thank you. I really need this.
what about the universal inbox? i can’t seem to find a way to keep track of the older feebacks that dont’ get posted directly to my blog…
Awesome!!
@watashi_no_sekai - Hi I’m sakura and you are?
Thankies!
Every time you give us a new feature my blog does not work anymore. I love Xanga but I do not love that in the five years I have been here that tech support does not answer me ever. I have had members of the team fix stuff but never tech support. Why is that do you just not care about supporting your members? You can’t see my blog in IE now. Over the weekend I could not read my subs. What is happening and please please fix this. Judi
I LOVE this idea, and I think it’s a huge PLUS for Xanga!!
Now, can we have the same ability to the SENT messages, as well??? PLEASE!!!!
why there are a “Horizontal Bar/scroll” in my xanga? i tried remove all my scripts but it still there… how to solve it?
thankssssssss!
xxx
cM=]”
thank for the congrats
Can you make it so we can mass delete sent messages as well??
stop changing my site to the “new version” motherfuckers
You guys rock – I love this!!!
Thanks again for the great work
Why does the link for “More Newly Updated” not lead to more newly updated posts? It only goes to the featured section.
hoorah finally. now if we can get working on a similar system for profile pictures, then i’d be a very happy camper!
SWWEEEET!
I didn’t know where else to post this bug submission:
Whenever I go to edit a post, I get an annoying popup error: “editorstringResx is undefined”. I am using XP and IE6. Anyone else have this problem? It’s really annoying. This is the page that is causing the problem (replace the XXXXXXX with a real one).
http://www.xanga.com/private/editorx.aspx?uid=XXXXXXX
yay! i been having problems deleting my message one by one!! so this is good and long overdue.
Where is there information on the blogrings change? The page for blogrings got raped in the ass and I’d like a forum to complain about it.
hi wat u duing?
hi xanga.
if you could please ad the ability to sort email by sender and date, then i’d be all set.
I would MUCH prefer if I had the OPTION to let non-xanga viewers of my blog allowed to COMMENT or message me.
This is a very frustrating limit that may very well force me to MOVE MY BLOG TO ANOTHER BLOGGING SITE. I have posted several requests for this but not receiving any feedback from the Xanga Team.
thank you thank you! I have been waiting for this for a long time.
Yayyy! Thanks for making Xanga better.
This is the one I have been praying for…I thank the gods of Xanga for its manifestation.
i actually just noticed this recently.
i’m real late. haha
