Clear out your PMs everyone!

Guys,

If you haven't already noticed, it appears that we can only have 50 PMs, so it's time to do some spring cleaning!

cheers

I think it is 500.
I cleaned up sent messages and now below 500 of sent/received.

[dinkyjacksonman]

wait, I went back and now it shows as 50 is the limit??
wtf???

[neilli]

Toru - I just tried to PM you, and your inbox is full, so yup, it appears it is 50, or whatever, you've got too many messages!

[dinkyjacksonman]

Ok, I tried to clean them up... 470 down to 70... I gave up.

It's impossible to go lower than 50... Ian, PM me through Jani's place.

[neilli]

Toru: I've PM'd you there as requested! I just gave up filtering and just deleted everything here......

[dinkyjacksonman]

Ian, got your Email and and sent back.

PM's

Toru, why do you need to save so many PM's? Just curious.

[Sandman0170]

Ill give ya 100...

[dinkyjacksonman]

Toru, why do you need to save so many PM's? Just curious.

Jimmy because there were more than 100 PMs with Matt's Music regarding my CS Jackson
Especially I wanted to keep "sent" PMs for the record of what I wrote to them.
I used to email people but PMs are faster and easier since I almost live here.
Plus my Email box gets tons of spams and hate it.

can we pay a modest fee for a higher PM limit? that's how they do it on other boards that use this software. i'm reluctant to delete my pms because they document a lot of the deals i've done here. just a thought.

[GodWentPUNK]

I already deleted out my PM's.

[jk2171]

Message limit includes sent PMs and received PMs.

There's also new tools for PM management, like being able to Download them as Text files.
You can d/l them as XML and CSV, but I don't understand why: IE displays XML as Source Code and CSV is like for spreadsheets and porn collections

Anyhoo, at least it's better than just erasing everything
