Message Quota

[Bowler]

Hi all,

Vbulletin have come back to us to clarify on the number of private messages. They say:

"The limit is 500 Private Message Topics. A topic can have any number of messages to accommodate vBulletin Messenger."

However, we have checked the settings and found that all registered users could only store a maximum of 100 messages, we have now updated it to be 500. Hopefully that should help with the full inboxes issue, however we would still recommend that you do regularly clear out your inbox and sent messages if you no longer need them. It also helps with the speed the forum too.

Thanks,

Forum Admin.

Thanks for sorting

There's only one Ellie, there's only one and she's the best! 😁👍😍x

Nope/of course not 🤐 Not in my spam either. Admin_MND, please check this out.


And just for you, Phil, I counted all my PMs and individual replis within each PM and here are the results:

Inbox 47
Sent 45
Total replies within those 102 PMs is 155

Therefore, I can only conclude that each "reply" is counted twice, in and out, that's the only way I am over the 500 - the PM limit is not 500 PMs, but 500 individual components.

I'll get deleting...
😘

What can I say Ellie, I’ve never had anyone do so much counting for me. 😉
I’ll give it a try

Hi all,

We will see what other information vBulletin can provide about PMs and quotas and we will let you know once we have a response from them.

Thanks,

Forum Admin.

Total replies within those 19 PMs is 155

Therefore, I can only conclude that each "reply" is counted twice, in and out, that's the only way I am over the 500 - the PM limit is not 500 PMs, but 500 individual components? But I didn't have close to 500...

I'll get deleting...

Ellie thank you for that. Hope you don’t mind me asking but have you received an email because I can’t PM you 🥰🥴

Bowler Phil, I previously asked about max number of PMs in relation to this version of the Forum, this is the reply Admin_MND gave:

"Within our new version of vBulletin individual posts and replies are not counted the same way as previously, it now counts only topics. The amount of topics you can have ongoing at one time is 500 and a topic is just an ongoing conversation with someone. The reason for this change was to allow for the new Messenger feature and by counting topics and not individual messages each user can send a lot more messages without worrying.
vBulletin have also said you will receive an email notification when and if you ever approach the 500 quota."

Love Ellie.

Not sure if that's a compliment. 🤔 think I've cleared out all the junk. Can't find a thing now 😊

[Bowler]

I doubt you are above average for the female of our species 😁🪖

[denise]

It's taking forever. I talk too much 🤔

[Bowler]

Go into message centre. On the left side go into sent. Select the messages you don’t want to keep then select delete. The go into deleted and select all the messages and click delete. This permanently delete the selected messages

[denise]

Phil come in Phil

[denise]

How do I do that

[Bowler]

Do we have to delete stuff?

I have deleted everything in my message centre
