Teken Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 So as of late I have been receiving lots of PM's from related folks about different questions and projects I have been doing. Some of the messages are just fun BSing around with good forum members I just really enjoy talking too. Back on point: Does the current system literally allow only 100 messages? If so does replying to an (existing) message go against the 100 message limit? I am currently at a em-pass and would really like to keep some older messages for later recall. I try very hard to not copy things and place them off line due the fact I manage enough data in my life and rather not copy and paste forum messages. In the big picture could the forum be expanded to allow more messages I suppose is the ask? Insight . . .
Xathros Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I believe this is pretty standard practice for most forum operators and 100 is actually one of the higher limits I have seen. I tend to copy things of value from forum posts and PM's as well as other sources and file them into Evernote with useful tags for easy recall at a later date from any platform. -Xathros
larryllix Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 It sure would be nice to get some notification that messaging is blocked = inbox full, for users, though. Both of you have told me my messaging was full lately, but I had no awareness of this. I thought older messages self-disappeared previously. Since, I have cleaned out lots of older stuff.
Teken Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Yes, I felt bad because you sent me a message and didn't even know it was still pending! LMAO . . . Didn't you get the memo I just didn't want to talk to you anymore! Ha . . .

Michel Kohanim Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Hi Teken, I just took a quick look at the Admin Section and couldn't find a configuration parameter for the number of messages in the inbox. With kind regards, Michel
Teken Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Michel, No worries I will just have to do some house cleaning and delete some messages to keep with in the 100 message limit.
larryllix Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks Michel! A reminder note in the forum somewhere about message limits and housecleaning may help somewhat. This would be best in a PM page but I don't know how much customisation control UDI has to do this.
Michel Kohanim Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Hi larryllix, I couldn't find any such settings. Do you know where else I should be looking at? With kind regards, Michel
larryllix Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Hi larryllix, I couldn't find any such settings. Do you know where else I should be looking at? With kind regards, Michel No. I just thought a reminder at the top of the forum page or a system sticky post to remind people to clear their PM cache occasionally. In clearing mine I just discovered there are pages and pages of PMs from the beginning of time that are obscure, that I wasn't aware. When you delete on page 1 they just keep coming.
Michel Kohanim Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Ah, yes, thank you. Now we have to figure out how to put a reminder! With kind regards, Michel
