People attempting to send me messages say they are bouncing. While my box is only 31% full.

I know this isn't the board admins fault but the e-mail that is being sent the messages saying it is full is just my spam box.

I loathe this PM system. I don't have technical troubles that you and some others experience, I just hate how EACH message counts, instead of each session. I hate having to delete so much shit all the time, and a lot of times I accidentally delete something important because I delete stuff so frequently.

I don't like it either, but the thing is, it's a little complicated looking in the back end, and I don't know how to fix it.

However, I just deleted crap from my inbox, and I realized that I had most of my messages in "sent mail", which also counts toward the total. Just delete all your sent mail that you don't need.

I agree with that, UBB has a better PM system. vBulletin 3.0 is due out very soon thoguh, and the board will be revamped then.

Sweet. Do we know if then it will e-mail us the contents of the PM like UBB? That was nice since you could then save your e-mails and empty the PM box....

Hope so, Last night i deleted over 18 pms then went back out of my account and it still said i had 12 left.

Some were in sent items and then even when i deleted them it still said the same thing, then i had to delete them all from tracking too ?
today i just logged in and it says i got 6 still....grrrr

Edit: Just had to go back 60 days to find the rest.

For the love of god please get rid of the 'quick reply' service. It's annoying as fuck as when you go read a pm it goes straight to the middle spacing between the reply made and quick reply box. Then there's all the shit you need to delete from the message box.

If you use your pm a lot like me, quick reply is a hinderance not a help. :mad:

Mmmhhh... I deleted nearly ALL my pm's... BUT the system thought I had about 30 left...

I thought initially it was just a NG.com error thing but eventually it miffed me off and I looking for them... After a while I went into the PM sent items box...

I clicked on the 30 day tag and scrolled it down to show me ALL the pm's I've sent from the beigging... and lo and behold there were the sneaky fekkers...

As I assume the 30 day pm list is standard then if you look at all the pm's you've sent since the beginning.... you'll find those sneaky 6 pm fekkers...

Yeah I just ran into this. I had to go and change it to view the past 60 days to see them all. I was wondering where the hell they were all hiding at.


Perhaps there is a way for the site admins to default this to "the beginning"?? This would help resolve this issue for a lot of folks, considering the way the PMs go against your total in your box.
