Hi,

I was checking my private messages under "Conversations" but was only able to see one conversation. I'm sure that I had more messages there. Are the private messages/conversations get deleted after some time? Thanks!

The forum software hides the older ones. There’s. a “Show all” link in the bottom left corner of the dialog box that brings the old ones back.
 
I think they only keep them for 1 year.

If it's a conversation with just one person and they leave it, what happens?
It stays in your account, until the software deletes it after one year of inactivity.
