"Your PM box is % Full"

[Yatta]

If I read the update log correctly, it's supposed to say that it's 90% full (which is accurate, because I had 179/200 messages in my box).

Well, it's only showing the percent sign, and the numerical value is missing.

[Phayzon]

I dont even have that line.. :o

[Joe Siegler]

It's probably a template thing, I'll get it looked at.

[Samji]

Does the percentage message only appear once you are close to your PM limit?

[ADM]

Yeah it only appears if you are nearing the limit.

Anyway it was a template issue, vbulletin had changed the variable name and I was still referencing the old one and I must have missed it.. anyway it's all fixed and Joe will update the style here.

[Joe Siegler]

It should be fixed now.

[Yatta]

Yep, shows up fine now.

[Wamplet]

Yattix, just export all PMs to Text or XML and be done with it. Stop wasting Joe's server space. :o

Very cool feature, I might add.

[Scotty]

I didn't know that export feature even existed until I saw your post. I just exported all of mine, and have deleted a bunch of my old messages.

[ADM]

Yeah when I'm getting close I export them all and delete them and start fresh.. that way if I need to refer to an old PM I can just search through my exported file.

I might make a little app which allows you to upload your pm's xml file temporarily and read it easily.

[Samji]

Or better still an offline reader. That understands the XML structure for private messages on this forum. I'm sure that would be very useful.

[ADM]

I'm only good on the web side of the things heh.

[Dave-ros]

Is there a way to export all your PMs to your e-mail address, or would that be silly? :o

[ADM]

Be pretty silly.

[Joe Siegler]

I don't think it would be silly, actually. Could be useful.

Could also be used by someone to use our mail server to send spam.

[Dave-ros]

How would they do that, though? I didn't mean getting PMs sent directly to your Inbox, I just meant you could export all your existing PMs to your e-mail address when you choose to do so... besides, anyone sending spam through the PM system would last about 5 seconds before you guys eviscerated them ;)

[ADM]

It could be done pretty easily though.. I think a couple of line changes from the many RSS to email scripts out there would work pretty well since RSS is pretty much XML anyway.

[Samji]

Email would be problematic. If there was some way to connect to the forum from the external application that would be better. Even then its probably not such a smart move.
