For those of us that have used the PM feature a lot, you may have noticed that there is a limit to how many messages you can store.
Staff: Is there an option that can be set that would tell a user that he/she has a full mailbox other than emailing them? Email works fine, but the problem with it is some people check their email last...and when you are exchanging PM's with them, I always feel like I am dropping out of a conversation without saying, "goodbye," when I am told that they have a full box. They will eventually figure out what happened, but it could be a few hours.
Members: Remember, if you get several PM's, delete the ones that are not important. It is real easy to hit your limit and then you lose any messages until you have more room. I think that 100 is the current limit and that should be ample. With over 10,000 members though, it can fill up real fast! I try to stay in the habit of saving only messages that contain phone numbers and web addresses that I might need soon but have not had a chance to bookmark or put in my address book yet.
