Unable to delete private messages on forum

Since there is a limit to the number of private messages allowed on this forum I need to delete some messages. But every time I try to do that I get the message "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.", and hence is unable to delete messages (and soon unable to receive new messages either).

The way I try to delete messages is that I click the checkbox on the right of the messages in the Inbox, select "Delete marked" at the bottom and click Go.

If you open a message you can also delete it. Little red cross at the top.

Ok, thanks, that somewhat works, but that takes forever when you want to delete a lot of messages...

Same problem here, I tried to delete the contents of an archive folder (that was already backed up on my PC), same error message :
The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.
However deleting the whole folder was successful.

That may be a workaround : create a temporary folder, move the selected messages to that folder and delete it

I'ts getting worse, apparently :

When I try to move some PMs to an Archive folder, I get the same error message :
The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.
Edited to add that the problem seems to be browser independent : same issue with Opera and Firefox and MS Edge (all up-to-date)
