	PM box suggestion Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Don't know if this has been suggested before but I wonder if there is a way that we can add to the PM function that one can see how full his PM box is. There are too many times that I had a full PM box without knowing. I think CGN has something like that where you see clearly how full your PM box is. Also they have a place you can move the PMs you want to keep to.

There's a button to download your PM's to your computer.

But I always get full without realising too, 'cos it only shows the most recent messages.

Do you really use the PMs that much? In the time I've been here, I have used PMs some 3-4 times I think...

Well it was used mainly for Demo games but sometimes for PBEMs also.

Wow, I never realized that before. Finally, no longer heartbreaking choices what supercrucial PMs I should delete or not!

I think it is a good idea to be easily able to see how full the box is.

Probably not that many users who would really get the use of it but still a good idea.

Yes, it is. Agree with you HH

	Inflate your Upload Space

I'll have to give that a look. I've had an increase in my normal number of PM's, and I want to leave space for the DG reports without worrying about a full PM box.

I believe the number is 150 PMs, which does not take long to fill if you also record your own statements.

Just a short conversation can be 10 PMs easy.

So, what's the actual limit on the PM's?

100 PM's. BTW if I had saved all of my PM's I would probably have around 200 by now

So then it shouldn't be so hard to make a little bar to show how much your inbox is filled up.

code:

<?php
$percent = get_number_pms($userId);
?>

The Inbox is <?php echo $percent; ?>% filled
<img src="/forums/bar.gif" height="5px" width="<php echo $percent; ?>px">

Of course, what do I know of how vBulletin works? Nothing.

How about if we send 'poly some cash we get 500 posts in your PM box?

...and that would be so that it'd be full all the time and therefore useless?



No, having a record that tells you how many you have makes perfect sense - especially if you're going to limit the number that people can store. I have no idea how your PMs work here as no-one has ever bothered to send me one, nor I anyone else, but at CFC there was a bar showing you how much of the PM inbox you had used. I'm pretty sure there was some kind of fancy colour-coding system so that you started off green and then went yellow, orange and red as you got closer to the limit for PMs. If Thunderfall can implement this then surely 'poly can too.

Vovan, you have already reached that limit.
I am trying to send you a PM, but I can't. Please delete some of the older messages.

Don't forget that PMs sent when you check the "Save a copy" box count against your limit and are located in the "Sent Messages" folder.

They are Chinese characters alright. Just doens't sound like Chinese at all.

Maybe it's a more accurate translation than previously thought. I said something to the tune of :

"I am not saying anything meaningful. I am simply typing words in to make more Chinese characters".
