FabSwingers.com forum: Women Only: Tidiness of your Box

By (user no longer on site) OP

How tidy do you keep your box?

Does a heaving, full box bother you?

Do unread messages bother you?

Must they be read swiftly?

Do you dedicate only a certain period in the time in which you spend on Fab sorting your box? Outside of that, do messages sit and wait for the next time you’re sorting your box?

Do you treat your Fab box any different from your email box in real life? (i.e. your Fab box is always tidy, but your email box has thousands of unread messages and one bothers you but the other doesn’t).

I specially only ask women because I’m making an assumption here and jumping to conclusions that women are more apt to have full boxes heaving with messages as compared to most men on Fab.

Voluminous boxes matter to me.

Super tidy..read and either immediately delete, or answer then delete.

Only need to check once a day or so thanks to filters, so not a chore

I like it being tidy, but there’s 1500 unreads at the moment, my email is the same 5000 unread. WhatsApp I have 30 unread messages.

It used to be so tidy, I think I’m having a midlife crisis or something

I have to keep it tidy but I am ruthless: delete most if not a block as well and report the ones that should be reported.

Mines very easy to manage, strict filters hide me well from the depths of fab, so any messages are forum/social related and answered as soon as I notice them

I guess when you do not get that many messages it’s very easy to control lol

So …. Check my profile out !

Mine was a chaotic mess last week so I did pledge to tidy and maintain it. Back down to zero and feeling pretty good about it. I am going to attempt to keep this up!

I’m the same way. I presently have 88577 unread messages in my personal email, 9654 in my work email, and several dozen in WhatsApp that I hide in archived to feel better I guess.

On Fab, I immediately delete, block, or read messages. Some I take some time to respond back to, others I do straight away. Last night, I spent way too much time deleting all my sent messages, and old messages too. It was almost cathartic.

I'm quite happy to come and tidy your boxes up for you ladies.

If only to make some space for mine.

A search filter option would be handy, then you could just type in 'chunky'.

This is why I ended up spending way too much time last night cleaning my box. I could not find a message I needed.

Even with relatively tight filters they come in a couple every minute that I'm online. And there are some nice imaginative ones in there that I feel like I should reply to. But I don't know when I'll get the time. 🤯

I might just have to shut filters completely.

My box is as tidy as my life right now….

Full. With no intent of reading any of it. Just like my brain ♥️

It suddenly dawned on me that i could look in my sent box 🤣🤣 and as I type this i remember you can click on someone's profile now and see the last message 😂😂

I’m the same way. I presently have 88577 unread messages in my personal email, 9654 in my work email, and several dozen in WhatsApp that I hide in archived to feel better I guess.

Snap. I’m actually considering a new email address and starting from scratch 🙈

It's a mess and I struggle with the tools that Fab gives for organisation overall, including mail. My email and contacts organisation outside of Fab is much easier.

I did that two decades ago. Biggest regret ever. I lost so many messages in the transition.

Tbf, there’s a massive void in tools available for organisation on Fab for all I reckon.
