PM box suggestion

[Snowflake]

Don't know if this has been suggested before but I wonder if there is a way that we can add to the PM function that one can see how full his PM box is. There are too many times that I had a full PM box without knowing. I think CGN has something like that where you see clearly how full your PM box is. Also they have a place you can move the PMs you want to keep to.

There's a button to download your PM's to your computer.

But I always get full without realising too, 'cos it only shows the most recent messages.

Do you really use the PMs that much? In the time I've been here, I have used PMs some 3-4 times I think...

[Snowflake]

Well it was used mainly for Demo games but sometimes for PBEMs also.

And used by the mods a lot as well

Wow, I never realized that before. Finally, no longer heartbreaking choices what supercrucial PMs I should delete or not!

I think it is a good idea to be easily able to see how full the box is.

[spartak]

Probably not that many users who would really get the use of it but still a good idea.

[The Slayer]

Yes, it is. Agree with you HH

I'll have to give that a look. I've had an increase in my normal number of PM's, and I want to leave space for the DG reports without worrying about a full PM box.

I believe the number is 150 PMs, which does not take long to fill if you also record your own statements.

Just a short conversation can be 10 PMs easy.

Hell, many people would find this feature useful.

So, what's the actual limit on the PM's?

[Tassadar500]

100 PM's. BTW if I had saved all of my PM's I would probably have around 200 by now

[vovan]

So then it shouldn't be so hard to make a little bar to show how much your inbox is filled up.

<?php
$percent = get_number_pms($userId);
?>

The Inbox is <?php echo $percent; ?>% filled
<img src="bar.gif" height="5px" width="<php echo $percent; ?>px">

Of course, what do I know of how vBulletin works? Nothing.

How about if we send 'poly some cash we get 500 posts in your PM box?
