Pm (Private Messages) Capacity

[kiwi91]

Hey arn,

Is there anyway that TA could increase the PM limit to like 500 or 1000? That might be too much...but I know I'm having to clear out my PMs 3-4 times a day.

Or would this cost extra money for bandwidth or something?

EDIT: This totally should have been in Site Feedback and News. So sorry!

Moved to site feedback, also, man that's a lot of PM's. Try putting your AIM/Yahoo messenger information in your profile. :P

Thanks Hodapp, you da man! :)

And yeah...ehhh, I should. But I like to stay under my pseudonym as much as possible without having to use all my personal contact stuff.

You could use screen name linking to register a second AIM account to use for online stuff where you don't want to reveal your real account name- http://www.aim.com/help_faq/using/win/acct_linking.adp

Yeah, I know how to do that...but I haven't used AIM in ages honestly. I did that mostly in middle school.

But I guess I could.

You do 600-800 PMs a day?!? :eek:

I hope you have an unlimited text plan with your phone! :p

I consider myself high-use and I'm about to clean it for the second time in a month.

i clear about 40-50 out a day just to make room for new ones!!

+1 Same here. The PM box is way too limited. Who do we have to sleep with for someone to hear us ?

+1 here. PM box is too small. Would like to see it bumped up to 500 or 1000

That answer depends on your profile picture :p

Yes, I do have unlimited text messaging lol. But my text usage fluctuates...some months I used a few thousand other times I only use maybe a thousand.

And yeah...I've been PMing less and using my wall more with stuff that's not really private...but a pm upgrade would still be nice :).

[Hello]

is there a fast way to dump out pms, or do you have to delete one by one.

Click the checkmark beside all the ones you want to delete, then choose the delete option (if memory serves me correctly, it's on the bottom right hand of the screen..I'm pretty sure it's the only drop-down tab available).

[anduril_ukr]

yes, there definitely needs to be more room. i have already lost info from deleting pms that i forgot i needed to keep. i delete 4-5 every hour or so.

Have you tried to Download all Private Messages as: XML | CSV | Text?

I've seen that as an option, but not sure what it does . . . what does it do?
