I don't see any capacity bar of any sort.  I'm not sure if there even is a limit in the first place...

It's right above "Date", if that helps.

Apparently, that feature was removed. I had a 60 message limit, but I can't find the settings in the admin CP for it anymore. O_o

Someone else sent me a screenshot of where it's supposed to be and no it's not there.

Is a limit really necessary though?  I mean, I'm pretty sure the database can easily accommodate a lot of private messages and I find it useful to keep all PM's as part of a personal historical data integrity initiative.

Yeah, I hate having to delete my private messages...And also, on another note, how come the 'Sent Items' folder doesn't save your sent messages?  Isn't that the point?  XD

You have to enable that option.

Go to your Profile ---> Personal Messaging ---> Save a copy of each personal message in my outbox by default.

We had issues with people RPing in PMs and not deleting them. A couple people had over 1000 PMs in the database. While there isn't a storage limit on our account, the server does have to process all of those PMs, and we are on a shared server. Plus, bloated databases take longer to backup.

That is why I had enabled the limit.

So, is it gone until the database fulls up again?

Dunno, I still have mine.

I wouldn't mind seeing this gone.

its become a pain really, So is it a glitch, bunch of member's got more privliges then others, or do these guys need to update their flash?

Dude, if it's just a special privilege, I'm gonna be upset.  I hate the message limit XD

Found it. The inconsistency is fixed.

The limit stays. How hard is it to delete a PM after you read it?

Frankly, I do not know what is going on with it. Some people can see it, others cant'. It isn't permissions related, as putting my test account in the same usergroup as people who have it does not make it show up for that account, and the settings have vanished from the admin CP.

I wonder if it appears based on how many PMs you have...

Help me out here, send a bunch of PMs to this account:

I've always seen it.

It's not hard.  On the contrary, it's quite simple.  However, the problem remains that we don't necessarily -want- to delete them.

It's like when posts are deleted on an SMF forum...they don't get "deleted" per se they get moved to the Recycle Bin (in the KLA's case) or whatever that section is called where only the mods and up can see it.  It's the same concept as PM's. I personally like having all my messages stored where I can look at them later...even years from now...for reminiscing or if I want to get the contact info of someone I talked with a long time ago.
