Save copy of private message - Opt Out
 
Can we have the default option of sending messages not to save a copy automatically? It's annoying having to delete all the sent messages I've sent but forgot to untick the box. All it does is waste space.

You can leave in the option for people who like it, but I would prefer the default to be NOT to save the private message you sent to someone.

Thanks.

So thats why my inbox is 99% full.

I’ve checked the vB options and I can’t find anything relevent. I have to say if there’s only a universal option that affects everyone, it will have to stay as it is. It may be irritating to have to delete sent messages to clear enough space, but at least you can do that if you want. If someone wants to keep a copy but forgets to check the box, there’s nothing they can do.

No, you don’t send messages to your own inbox.

No problem. It was worth a shot.

Alcar 07-15-2009 03:38 PM

I've decided to up the limit on private messages.

Who in the name of buggering fuck turkey is going to let 25000 messeges build up in their inbox? :fuzconf:

Hobo 07-15-2009 05:46 PM

Again?

I remember trying to break it by filling my inbox to the then mod max of 300, and then demodding.

Didn't work.

Holy Slig Tentacles! 25000 is a lot of messages. Perhaps a figure of 1000 would be more appropriate?

Wil 07-15-2009 11:51 PM

Awww, I also have a maximum of 25000. I want to be have more powers and priviledges than the plebs! :(

Just think of 25000 as being essentially unlimited.

In vBulletin 3.7 and up the option to opt out of sent messages being stored is present on an individual basis. Next to that, I'm sure there's a plugin that does that floating around somewhere.

But 25000 PM's works too.

This is Oddworld Forums, not Gmail. Eight message maximum is fine.

OANST 07-23-2009 02:14 PM

Some of us are popular.

Bullet Magnet 07-31-2009 04:42 PM

Burn.

Alcar 07-31-2009 10:08 PM

We have so much disk space its not funny. I'd allow unlimited PMs if it were possible, but vBulletin is set up it only accepts a maximum limit.

That being said, I have the most PMs. POPULAR! :p

Wil 07-31-2009 10:33 PM

They’re probaby all complaints.

Alcar 08-01-2009 02:38 AM

This is true.

i have never had to delete any messages.

there you have it. :(

Wil 08-01-2009 11:23 AM

Poor MA. I’ll spam your inbox up for you.

Splat 08-03-2009 02:43 PM

Someone should make a blog-post about spamming MA's PMbox so he feels more loved.

Wil 08-03-2009 03:01 PM

No, everyone should just spam up his PM inbox.

i might do a BTG in a minute and edit my previous post.
