Hey Kal, I know that in the past you've said that PMs are capped at 100 and will be deleted off the end of the list once the inbox is full. I just realized that mine has been full for awhile and I've probably lost some good info unfortunately, so I moved everything from my inbox to my savebox (now my savebox is 102% full, how does that work?).

Anyways, can we bump up PM storage for Club Members to something a bit more generous like 500 or 1000?

The In/Out/Save boxes are set to 200 messages max, not 100.

I've bumped the Savebox up to 500 messages from 200. I don't see how anyone would have more than 500 'critical' messages they'd need to save. That's 10 pages worth of saved messages! Any truly critical information should be saved elsewhere of course.

I've looked in the past for modifications that would allow different in/out/save box sizes based on the membership (group) that you're in but they don't exist unfortunately so everyone gets the same size in/out/save boxes.

For those that don't know, what do you get as a club member is the following benefits:

  • No ads at all.
  • Access to the private Club Members Forum.
  • Increased file attachment space for private messages (from 2mb to 50mb).
  • Increased file attachment space for forum posts (from 20mb to 200mb).
  • Ability to add your projector and home theater equipment info to your profile page.
  • Your projector info is shown in all your posts for quick reference by others.
  • The title 'Club Member' added to all your posts.
  • A 'Recent Posts' list is added to the main page for quicker access to new posts.
  • Access to a new 'View All Recent Topics" page making it easier to see what's new across multiple forums.
  • Your avatar displayed on the main page along with quick links to frequently used items.
  • Ability to turn off the word censor so that swear words are not censored.
  • Access to a new 'Watched Topics' page where you can manage your watched topics.
  • Access to the new "Printer Friendly" tool for printing entire threads quickly and easily.
  • And last but not least: The warm and fuzzy feeling that you help support the forum built by CRT projector & home theater enthusiasts exclusively for CRT projector & home theater enthusiasts!

Thanks Kal. Obviously I don't have that many critical messages but separating the wheat from the chaff is not something I have the time or inclination to do, so I just save it all Wink

... and that's the reason why I need to keep the limits manageable. Nobody erases all messages so I bet that anyone that uses PM to any degree has 200 messages in it. The more we use the more data is on the server, the slower things (may) run, and the more it costs (me) to run things.

It's a balancing act.

Understood, which is why I inquired to limit to Club Members only. Since that is not possible, I think the limit you've set is perfectly acceptable.
