Frankly, Tamara, I'd rather not post the information I used in trying to access the six messages to which I refer because that or providing the name involved is tantamount to reposting those messages in this forum where viewable by any and everyone from now on! As far as I can tell I inserted in the blanks exactly what seems is required for the six terms in the Maintenance area search where I hoped to be able to locate and delete these as I can any message. In every case but one I was the author of the message, the email and IPs were my own, and since I've never approved messages, I tried using both the unavoidable options without success. One subject not the actual name concerned in mostly announcement posts was "Coincidentally enough." The small blank for "message" is really not very precise, but I assumed that the digital information for each message page was intended, so used that. But since there is no requirement for a date for each message, I tried using that as well as another failing option. In every case the message always still visible in the message section fails to appear there in maintenance where they can usually be deleted, and each came back 0 instead. If this one I've used unsuccessfully repeatedly has been the wrong procedure that I've tried very hard to describe accurately, please tell me my alternative to accomplish what should be simple enough! I am willing to supply any further information you need in a more secure format, however.
