My question is : Is it safe to clear out old messages and notifications in PhpMyAdmin by
"select all" and "delete". If not, can you tell me a safer method or commands to safely use.
Would I need to highlight the category on the left or run the command generally ,on the database.
thank you.

Arsalan and co really don't like when people suggest doing anything to database directly, so I'm going to start by saying I don't recommend you do this unless you're experienced with SQL (and php) and have made a backup copy of your database.
I don't think there's anyway to clear old notifications through the ossn admin interface. Running delete queries can never really be considered "safe" (especially if you're not confident in your own sql/php skills), but (perhaps) a slightly safer method would be to delete notifications that are older than a certain date rather than all of them, since they're timestamped (albeit with a unix timestamp, which is a little annoying, but you can use the from_unixtime() MySQL function for that).
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
