Yes, the feature is to kick people out of the conversations they started.

The only permission I can find is the opposite, i.e. for the conversation starter to kick other people out.
However, as an admin I think I should be able to kick anyone out

Sorry that's what I thought you meant.
Technically I think it's supposed to work where you can't kick anyone out, only the conversation starter can. However, noted as a suggestion.

One question on this, is it possible to mark all conversations as read? I don't mean, by having to select each one with a check box, then marking all those as read. But a button that will simply mark them all as read.
I ask because I just upgraded from another forum software, and everyone has a ton of old messages that aren't read for various reasons. So my users are now seeing a number for their inbox for messages they ignored before for whatever reasons (some were auto generated by an old add-on, etc). These can be pages and pages back and having to go through them all and check each one... isn't a positive experience for my users.

Yes, that feature is included in Conversation Essentials.

I have an older version (1.2.5) and am ready to upgrade. One question I didn't see an answer to in the description - does this version allow for goruping individual participants to be grouped together? For example if I want to see all the conversations I have had with user XYZ can I toggle something and see all conversations I have had with him without having to hunt and peck for all of them in the mix of 5000 other conversations?

Hey Daniel,
I purchased the mod, however I can't seem to locate a "Mark all Conversations as Read" type of function. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Well this isn't a feature exactly. However, Conversation Essentials includes a function to search your conversations. This could potentially do what you want. You'd just search Conversations only and search posted by {user}.
I'm not sure why you can't see the link anywhere but you can access the page directly via yourdomain.com/conversations/mark-all-read. That will do what you want. If you want, private message me and I'll help you get the link added so your members can access it more easily.

I've tried that - it doesn't work at all.
Would it be possible to add this feature? My forum needs this feature badly due of the nature of our activity. If I decide to stay with XF I will want this feature - even if this is one of those features that I commonly hear "is too difficult to incorporate due to the way XF is made/coded" it is still possible to do isn't it? I am asking because I will contribute for this feature to be added to this add on.

Yes, it's surely possible.

This just worked fine for me. Go to Advanced Search, Select "Search Conversations", enter username

I took it more as "that doesn't work [as a substitute for the feature I'm requesting]" rather than it literally not working. Thank you for confirming that the feature itself does in fact work though.

I'm still trying to understand what @LuvMeSumZen is trying to do that is different than what you suggested (and what the addon does)...?

I'm pretty sure, @LuvMeSumZen corect me if I'm wrong, they want to be able to filter their conversations page by username. So when you're looking at your inbox, there'd be a search bar where you can enter a username and it'll only show conversations (in the same type of view) that have that person as a participant.

Ah, yes that would be awesome. Also awesome if you could have multiple usernames in the filter. Maybe even and/or operation...that might be a stretch

Wait... this is a core feature lol.
Look at your inbox on here -> click "Conversation Display Options" at the bottom of the table.

I always thought that XF feature was kinda poorly designed. I want to see all conversations involving a user, I don't care if they started it or I started it. But they have a drop down for each. SMH
