Title: How many PMs allowed - where to set?
Post by: IngeJones on December 12, 2008, 08:25:39 AM
I can't find the place where you define how many PMs users may have before their box is full.  I am sure I saw a place when I was running 1.1.7,  but I can't find it anywhere in 2.0!

Also, is there a way to purge old PMs for all users like there is for old forum topics?  To stop people hoarding them too long.

Hello!

When you create a new membergroup, or editing one, you will se "Max number of allaowed PMS" (Or similar). Thats where you set it.

I think I just found that one and posted in it querying the possibility :D   I am surprised not more people want this actually.

Thanks Jim, but I don't want to do it that indiscriminately.  I would at least want to wait till they were over a month old!

Yeah, I have had pretty good luck by just announcing that I was gonna clean out the PM boxes if they didn't.  Deleting them like this would be a drastic measure at best.

IngeJones - Is this issue resolved or do you still require assistance?

Well it's not resolved, but obviously the thread's going nowhere so might as well close it :)

Feel free to post a request in the Mod Requests (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=79.0) board and someone might put one together for 2.0
