How about more private message storage space?

[jakeru]

It seems like I keep running into problems with my private message storage space getting full. Combined, I'll bet I have a couple kilobytes worth of information in there (at most) <--- that's a computer geek joke by the way.

May I make a suggestion that the allotted number of private messages, (or storage space for those messages) be increased?

Is your joke about how inconsequential a couple of kB is in terms of modern disk space?

I bumped it up to 100 for now until I find how to do it at a user level. That was the quickest fix. And being out of thousands of member, only a few have more than 5-10, most probably delete old PMs or use email for better privacy. So I see no major I/O or space issues at 100 each.

Also note, PMs are great to exchange personal info and off topic comments. But we'd really like to keep the welding questions in the public for other to share.

Didn't seem to make any difference.

Despite going on a recent message deletion rampage, I just got the following:

"Errors
The following errors occurred with your submission
You have reached your stored private message quota and cannot send any further messages until space has been created."

(By the way, I only have 26 messages in my sent items, and 24 in inbox.)

Problem is fixed! Thanks for listening, Everlast.

We did that some time ago? Maybe if your mailbox was full it did not take or something?

I noticed it about 2 weeks ago or so (or maybe a month), but just didn't have time to post feedback about it until now.

I just didn't want you guys to feel like your efforts are being taken for granted.

Yea, we did it way back. You and like 5 other people actually need the space but everyone has it now (BTW: all work for Everlast but you). It is probably not allocated space until someone uses it in the mysql database anyway.

We're happy you demand that space here and you put in the time, means people like your work and talents and PM you. Thanks again for you support, help and time.
