Two Questions -

1. How do you delete old private messages ?
2. Where is the settings for emails related to new images for members I follow ?  
I am overwhelmed by way too many emails notifying me someone I’m following has uploaded a new object. That information can be found across the top ribbon by clicking on the Bell Icon.

I need to add those features. I’ve just added them to the roadmap, but I’ll probably prioritize the notification settings - I could’ve sworn that setting existed but it doesn’t!

In the meantime, if you’d like me to delete private message for you, just send me a message using the contact form in the website while logged in telling me which ones to delete, and I’ll do that for you.

That’s low on the Totem pole regarding the private messages. I just like to keep a tidy database.  
I know it’s not much, but it should free up storage space on your server as well ?

thank you again

Yeah, I don’t know how I missed coding such a basic feature as deleting messages.

At any rate, I just came back here to let you know that I’ve just added a new Notification Setting ([What's in the Sky Tonight?](https://telescopius.com/profile/notifications/settings)) to let you opt out from those new picture notifications by followed users. It’s available starting at version 20230824.2130
