[quote=gd_barnes;142314]This only shows where it was increased to 1000. Can it be increased further for mods?

Also, can a warning message be sent? Thanks.[/quote]
Or, probably even better than an emailed warning, some big red text on the inbox page that says "WARNING: YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGE STORAGE SPACE IS ALMOST FULL. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE OR SEND MESSAGES ONCE IT IS FULL. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DELETE SOME MESSAGES AT ONCE TO FREE UP SPACE."

[QUOTE=Anonymous;142188]Yes, the limit is 1000 total (that includes both the inbox and the sent folder). Both Gary and I have probably sent and received thousands of PM's by now, and thus had to clean out our boxes numerous times. [/QUOTE]

Holy cow, I only have a bit over 200PMs.

I'm feeling lonely :sad:

I have 3 PMs because I keep them deleted once I've read or handled the problem.
I also encourage folks not to send me PMs and email me instead, that's what it's for.
The best advice is to keep them downloaded to your PC where you can have them forever, if you really have to keep them.
This reminds me of Exchange Servers. Folks will leave all the crap on there until they get the out of space message then complain they *need* all that crap.
We teach them how to create a local .pst file and copy all of it to their HDD.
Problem solved? Not really, now they complain it takes too long to backup to the Server because their .pst files are too big. :cry:

Is that your PM box? (Or maybe something on another forum?)
