The PM feature

[Q]

It could be that the member chooses not to be shown as being signed in when they come online.

It is a possibility, but I know that the date has changed before, he has told me he can't log on much. Also, it seems a bit too unlikely that he would be online and log out at that exact moment.

Maybe they only opened one and not the other. that's all I can think.

Why is the inbox capacity limited to 100 messages? I have kept the ones I really dig but now I feel I have to back them up to storage to make space. This is obviously another risk factor which people could potentially discover (might make it on my private USB stick to minimise that problem, but still). Is it another facet of running a big forum, costs, maintenance etc. that sort of thing? If so I understand but I'd appreciate some insight either way. Be great to get more space (I've been at a full 100 for a long time)>

To put it in a nutshell, yes, it is a way of minimizing traffic. The question is how much extra space do you need? I always thought 100 is quite a decent number of messages
I don't want to set the limit "too high" and maybe it won't even be enough if you already have that many messages.

You could always use online storage to save old messages or encrypt the documents.

EDIT: I increased the limit by 50.

Why is the "Last visited" datestamp not working now? Its useful to gauge if a user has seen a new topic, PM etc. Hope it wasn't considered stalkerish or anything like that. Can it be switched back on?

As far as I know it's not been turned off and it seems to work properly for every profile page I've checked. If it's not displayed on a certain profile page then it means that the person has been invisible for the last session.

Can we get 50 more, up to 200? That'll give me the time I need to organise and backup older messages, but for the time being I'm quite active with PMing certain other users. Is that ok?

Sorry for the late reply. You should now be able to receive 200 PMs.
