I noticed the board sw was upgraded and now shows a "Your Notifications" link in the top-right corner. I couldn't find it, but is there a way to change that link to Private Messages as in the good old days?

Did you notice the small drop down arrow beside it that does lhave private messages as an item on the list?

Of course I did. The problem is that the start page first must be loaded, then after clicking the arrow the dropdown appears and then after looking, aiming and hopefully hitting the private messages link, my private messages appear. I don't need all the other **** so for me this isn't an improvement.
EDIT: I got my private messages link back by nuking pending "friend" requests

is it possible to retain the message sent notification but have it go away on its own without having to press the "done" softkey? im running the latest T-mobile wm6 rom.
Actually the old message sent reg hack that killed the notification under WM5 doesn't appear to work at all anymore. I would imagine we need to find that workaround first.
I have to deal with this stupid notification AND the one from my provider telling me how much it cost to send the message and the remaining balance. I wish I could strangle them both.

i was actually able to remove the notification by following a procedure posted somewhere but i still prefer seeing if my message was actually sent.im just annoyed by the fact that the window doesnt go away by itself like the way it does on my hermes and if i forget to press done,my incoming messages cant get through.
The message sent notification should go away on its own, prior to me editing my registry it would just go away by itself.

hmm...this makes me wonder why mine doesnt.i assumed it was because of the new rom.maybe i should do a hard reset but ive gotten my dash to where i want it excepr for that one persistent problem.Dotsig,would it be possible for you to make a screen shot of what you have in your HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INBOX\SETTINGS.
THANKS A HEAP!
Make the following adjustments to get rid of the "SMS Message Sent" popup that appears after sending a text!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
Click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
Name the New Key as "Settings"
Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1
Soft reset your device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled.
Enjoy!
i don't have the screen shot utility loaded but in there i have a string, smsnosntmsg, the value data is 1. Now this is with the regedit to have the screen not pop up, prior to this i didn't have the settings folder.

Please read above. This hack is only valid for WM5 and does not work for WM6. Sheesh.

i already did this and it apparently works for wm6 but what i really want is for the notification to go away on its own and not dissappear completely.for now i have it disabled coz as i have already said,its so annoying that the window doesnt go away on its own and when i forget to press the done softkey i couldnt receive any messages.
Anyone else having this problem? I deleted all my text messages and the header still says Text Messages (1) as if there is 1 unread one... ????!?!
Not sure exactly...When I get a text and read it but don't want to delete it stays on the topbar. I have to go back to text messages page on the panel and scroll on it again. It will usually then remove it from the topbar. If you don't need the text message just delete it and it also is removed from the topbar on homescreen. I don't know if thats what you are having issues with but that's not the end of the world for myself.
I'm using WM6.1. It has the threaded text message strings. After i go into a message/conversation and read the text message it should remove the (1) from the top bar signifying no unread messages. I've read all my messages and even went as far as deleting them all but the (1) still persists!
Did you try to restart the phone like turn it off and back on... Also check your MMS maybe you have some message that was unread in there... Check it out and get back if this does not fix it...
Go to your registry and check the value there, look in : HKCU\System\State\Messages, and look in sms or wherever and check the count, if at 1 then set it to 0.
Also, remember the message is not "Read" if you just view without responding.
if you dont respond, you need to <- out of it....not hitting the home key or cancel or whatever.
that is the only thing that works for me.
I have a similar problem, when I view a text message it is not marked read immediately, and home screen shows the mail icon. To get over this problem, I do the following: after reading a message, I press Menu->Close instead of just pressing the BACK button.

nooooooooooooooooo i can't seem to do anything to get rid of it! i delete all the messages and even after that reset the registry key stated by showaco and after a restart it still shows [email protected] ARGghghhghghg
Could it be an unread message stored in another folder such as Drafts or Trash?
Unfortunately not
I checked each folder and went as far as emptying them all

OMG YOU FIXED IT.. THANKS A MILLION AFTER MONTHS! TOTALLY WORKED EXCEPT AFTER YOU DISABLE THREADED TEXTS YOU HAVE TO DELETE EVERYTHING THEN TURN IT BACK ON THANKS!!!
How do you select several people at a time when you send a same message?
its very annoying when u only allow to select one person at a time and click on add recipient millions time when you try to send a message like "happy new year" to 300 people.
Anyway, happy new year to everyone.
if you press enter on the key board it goes to the contact list you have to pick one at a time but you can do it in the same message, not sure if there's another way around this...
Yes, it's limiting. I had been looking for a mail client that has the concept of mailing list for a long time but could't find one.
If anyone knows of such a mail client, please share.
Power SMS has a functionality to define "groups" for multisending, and selecting a group it adds automatically the recipients in standard sms. of course you still have to add contacts one at time, but you have to do the process one time only (next year, hopefully, you'll still have the "new year's eve" database)

so u mean we can't go to multi-selection mode and select several people at at time then? Does the Power SMS able to do so? Coz u can't define a group that work for every message.
But thanks.
as an add on to your Q how can you make the text box bigger any one know?
Have you tried groupsms in google?
Worked for me. I only know because someone else on this forum recomended it to me for exactly the same reason but in another thread.
Hope this helps.
Enter your numbers as follows
<no 1>;<no 2>;<no 3> and so on...
You can save a contact with the mobile numbers set to a group of numbers in the format svown and then enter this one contact and the to: list is filled with the numbers for you.
Actually... there are 2 others ways to add multiple recipients... although neither is as quick as simply ticking all that apply!
[1] Tap the word "To:", select a contact, and repeat.
[2] In the space after the "To:", type the first letter of the contact name... and a selection of contacts starting with that letter will be shown in a horizontally scrolling list just above the keyboard. When you've found which contact to add in that list... click it, and it will be added to the "To:" field, followed by a ";" ready for you to repeat the process for the next contact!

I've been using this for ages...grown very comfortable with it too. Now, yesterday, all of a sudden, something happened and it doesn't put in the ";" automatically I admit, it's only a small thing, but it's annoying once you're so used to doing something one way. So if anyone has any idea how to fix it...please help!
PS: Closing messaging and restarting it didn't work, and neither did a soft reset

i've just tried Your recipe for sending group message and it's brilliant. THNX for the tip
Got my Touch Pro 2 from MObile Phones Direct (in UK) last week Love it so far. But maybe it's meant to happen but when I send an SMS a copy appears in my Inbox with message prefixed by Me:. Wht's this al about then??
Its called "Threaded SMS" and shows your texts as a conversation.
I like it but I know some people don't.
There are ways to turn it off mentioned all over the boards.
i love it
because you can clearly see the history of the last messages and also it harder to get the wrong person you want to write a msg to ..
And how can i delete one message from thread?
thanks...
You can't, that's the special "Don't cheat on your wife"-option HTC has built in ...
No, kidding. When TF3D enabled click on the sms-icon in the bottom bar.
Click on the latest SMS recieved from the person.
You get a threaded SMS with at the bottom a bar in which you can see emails from that person, call history, etc.
Click Menu > Delete
Select the messages to be deleted
Click done
Yesss.
I didnt think that i can use the delete menu item to delete a message...
So a thought it is delete the entire thread.
Thank you!
it always shows that i have one message even if i've deleted all of them... how do i get rid of that???
any ideas?
I only came across this once. It did not delete the whole message. If you are in the all messages page nothing shows up but in the TF3d page it shows 1/1 on the right side and a line that is normaly under the name or number, is that what you are seeing?
Someone else managed to solve this, and they list some possible solutions. You'll need to search the forums for the things mentioned, though. Apparently this 'unread text' error happens once in a while.

it doesn't show which message is unread, it just says 1 on the slider icon
the problem's fixed!! if anyone ever has this problem, look for "fixunreadcount", works perfectly
