PM Inbox Full Notification

[Mike Bobbitt]

I've had a few users with full inboxes, and it got me thinking. Maybe replace

Hey, Mike Bobbitt, you have 228 messages, 0 are new.

with

Hey, Mike Bobbitt, you have 228 messages, 0 are new. Your Inbox is full!

When a user's PM inbox is full...


Thanks
Mike

Finally! I was waiting for something like this.  Also I know there's hardly any space to do so, but would a percentage bar see it's way into 1.0? Or would this be the only thing? Because suddenely having a full inbox would get very annoying and would be un-excepted, but having a percentages bar or even a small piece of text saying how close you are to filling your outbox might be much better..

Or rather than a percentage bar, you could display the limit somewhere on the page of the inbox.

eg, "Total amount of received messages allowed XXX". ??

However it's done, this is a feature I have been waiting for for a long time.

Yeah that may be cool.  Some kind of way to tell if your close to the limit or not would be much better. I'd actually give my members a PM quota then!

"Inbox capacity: XXX messages. You have XXX messages in your inbox"  Maybe!?!?

That'd be cool  I'd really like a bar like this, otherwise the feature is kind of useless IMO..

The Moderators may send IM if the user is full ?

[Mike Bobbitt]

I believe mods (or at least admins) can already send PMs even if the PM box is full...

[Tom]

For each member group you can have a different PM limit (or no limit at all).

This feature has not been more made ?

Hi SMF,

I agree here that an Inbox full notification is definately needed, and a graphical indication of how much storage is remaining would be even better. A storage folder in the private messages would also be useful.

Did I read somewhere that there is plans for major enhancements to the Personal Message system? I'm sure I read that somewhere...

Best

SMF 1.1 is going to have this i 'v been told. In 1.0 user never know if his/her pm box is full.

Good

I believe that determining how full an inbox is by number of messages is wrong. It should be measured in bytes.

On MemberGroup's Setting is set for number...
