PM boxes

[snoopy369]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'd like to bring it up again.

2 things about PM boxes.

1 - can we possibly have larger PM boxes for PLUS! people? I realize 99% of people don't need them ... but Forum Game GMs prefer to save the PMs from FGs until at least a few rounds down (to be able to correct errors in data entry etc.), and i'm sure there are a few others who could use the space for some VALID reason. An extra 100 PMs to all plus people wouldn't be a significant strain on resources, I'd think ...

2 - regardless of the above, it would be nice to have a meter on the top of your PM box somewhere indicating HOW full your PM box is. When you are like me and have usually 80-90 PMs, it's nice to know when you need to delete things instead of finding out when someone tries to PM you ...

Both good ideas. It doesn't happen often, but when the inbox is full you probably wont notice unless some one else bothers to tell you.

It's possible to download PMs, so you can store them on your hard disk.

I support bigger PM boxes for PLUS members.

300 PMs not enough?
we'll think about it

That doesn't work if you aren't PLUS member I think. I always see "pm (-/-)" there(I'm not a PLUS member). ATM I have 108 PMs, which is surprising, as I thought the limit was 100.

He means that you (and all the other nonPLUS folks) have space for 150 PMs.

Why not send a (auto-generated) mail when PM box is full?

[Nikolai]

Good idea.

He covered that in the opening post. GMs need to keep multiple PMs for several rounds to ensure data integrity.

Correct if I am wrong, but doesn't that feature already exist?
