							| Have some of your messages been deleted by the system lately?  I had about 18 pages of saved messages and now suddenly I have only 4 pages.  I wonder if an error allowed me to have so many messages in the first place... 
 Check your messages.  If you have some important information there make sure you save it in another place.

							| Hi Pinky! Well, some days ago my ten pages of messages disappeared all of a sudden and I was left with only one (the newest). Unfortunately I hadn �t saved anything.

							| Hi Pinky Most my pms were deleted too but that happened around 3 weeks ago. 
 I did lose very important information =( so I recommend to save important messages in another place

							| Hello dear Pinky,   The same happened with me. I lost about 20 saved pages . I think it �s the way the system works here. I really felt sorry for losing very important stuff , and regretted not garnering them aside.    Take care, Pinky!!! Hugs, Nebal |  6 Nov 2009

							| My messages have been deleted too... about 3 weeks ago. I don�t know if all boxes have been cleared out, but a few people told me that the same happened to theirs. I guess it�s the best for the server! I was also saving stuff there, it�s a mistake of course! Thanks for the advice, Pinky... I came to the same conclusion, but it�s good that people know about it. |  6 Nov 2009

							| Probably a cut off date, which is why it is different for everyone.  I, too, lost most of my messages and some important info.   Definitely a good idea to save info that you want to keep.    from Israel  Judy |  6 Nov 2009

							| It says, on the left side of your messages: 
 
 
			Private messeger: All messages will be deleted 
			after 5 days 
 Although this is not the case - the possibility is still there that messages will be deleted.

							| MIne, too. I did read the warning on the left that they get deleted after some days, but since they hadn �t for  long time, I got used to having them there. But I guess perhaps they take up a lot of space... |  6 Nov 2009
