Save copy of private message - Opt Out

AlexFili · #1 07-15-2009, 02:28 PM

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.

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?

Hobo · #7 07-15-2009, 06:46 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*** · #9 07-16-2009, 12:51 AM

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.

Some of us are popular.

Burn.

***Alcar*** · #16 07-31-2009, 11:08 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!

They’re probaby all complaints.

This is true.

i have never had to delete any messages.

there you have it.

***Wil*** · #20 08-01-2009, 12:23 PM

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

Splat · #21 08-03-2009, 03:43 PM

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

***Wil*** · #22 08-03-2009, 04:01 PM

No, everyone should just spam up his PM inbox.
