Thread: PM Limits

Tweet

Just asking if a total of PM's could be assigned to warn either a person trying to send a PM to a member or the member who's PM it is they need to clear it out.Sure is a pain to type out a PM to be told that member has exceeded his limit and then lose what you have typed.I have run into that more than once.Please and thank you.

Gary, I agree it's a pain to type out a PM, hit "send" and then see that the receiving party has exceeded his capacity - worse is if you don't notice and assume it has gone but is "stuck" Another peeve is exceeding the 1000 character limit and having to pare back words If you do notice it did not go out, the message is still there and you can cut the text and paste it into an e-mail to that person unless they have elected to block e-mails from members. I can't see how the warning could be generated before the PM is sent and hits the wall, but then I'm not a computer jock by any measure.

Roger-it all starts with a warning your about to hit your limit.Face it.The core people of the site are the ones not knowing their pm box is full.

Sorry, I misunderstood your problem. You're saying that your box is full, and you cannot send until you purge some information. Thought you were sending to someone who's box was too full. My mistake.

If you want to increase PM limits to 200, become a contributor: http://www.clubhotrod.com/payments.php I'll have to work on the notifications.

Thanks Brent.Just to know where you stand in terms of limits would be very helpful.And yes I was talking about losing a typed msg because who your sending it to has gone over their limit too.You don't know that in advance.Some forums have a system that stores msgs over the limit,but can't be read until the limit is met again.

Brent, while you're at it, could you make the system give me a wake up call and make coffee in the morning?????

All right silly.Go right now to your pm's and post how many you have.........Go ahead...........I dare you.No fair counting them now.

Got a joke for you.Caveman every night rolled a rock in front of the cave.Finally caveman wife says she has got a ad for a new thing called a door.Caveman throws a fit yelling that is the way we have always done it.Wife's reply is exactly!!!.

Moral Dave..........some changes are for the better.

Not sure why Dave,but lately you been kind of crabby.

Well, at the bottom in the 'Folder Control' area it sez I have a total of 19 stored out of a total of 70 allowed........

no counting required...

Never been on that side of town before.Humm-so you said you saw Curly and Larry??.LOL

Dave-getting dressed to go back to the hospital.Maybe we can pick it up when I get back home in a acouple of days.Stupid heart issues..........Grrrr.

Take care, Gary....

Well in the main stream of life which at times suck and most certainly not to derail what the main topics of this site should be about,this time I had a minor stroke.I'm back home,but for this yr I think I have enough of this kind of thing.

While the term "minor stroke" is used often medically, in my book any stroke is serious business as I am sure it is to you, Gary. About all you can do is take care of yourself and follow the doctor's orders as much as you can. Hope this is the end of your physical trials, Gary.

Thank you Roger for your advise and concerns.Happy Holidays Bud.
