Storage Indication for Private Messages

Dyre Straits · Aug 6, 2003, 10:47 PM

Is there anyway of seeing how much storage is left? Most of the forums I frequent have a gauge of sorts near the top of the Private Message page.

I had PM'd Shrink and he couldn't reply to it due to my box being too full. I had no idea.

well I dont think this is built into VB, but ive raised the level pretty high dyre, its alot higher than most forums, but be aware that sent messages and message tracking also amount to the total, so its best to clear them out once a week or so.

OK, guess I just got another 'house cleaning chore' to attend to now.

You can see how many PMs you have total at the bottom of the forums page (click forums in the buttons at the top right), and the limit is 75.

Thanks,

That, at least, makes it possible to determine when it's time to do some cleaning. It would be nice if it showed: x/75 messages total. Until now, I didn't even know what the maximum was.

the maximum was originally 30 but being the nice guy I am I thought id give you all a little more room....

Zardon is a really, really nice guy. And, if you don't believe it, just ask him.

could a feature be implemented to be CHECKED in the users profile settings to turn such a feature as auto matic deletion of sent messages being deleted IF the reciever has viewed it... and after a week, deletion of tracking and sent stuff... maybe set the received to be cleaned at 2 weeks.... (just some thoughts)
