Bug in Sending PMs on this Site

[alterr]

Theres a bug in the delivery system of PMs on this site. Whenever I try to send a PM to someone, it somehow ends up being sent to back to me. Do fix it soon since I need to send pms to others here. Thanks.

Alt,

One funny issue I have seen with PMs is that you can only have 50 msgs in inbox and 50 in sent items etc...
If you have filled up your 50 allotment you may have to manually delete some.

There is text showing how many towards your 50 msg you have but I don't think there is any popup msg that tells you your PM won't be issued because of this.
(also if you have 50 in your inbox you simply won't get any more messages -- and there is nothing to tell you that messages might simply not be getting to you ... ouch ... unless you notice you have reached the 50.

Also I think that might also explain why you might get a PM stuck in your OUT box too. You might be sending it to someone that have maxed out their Inbox. I have one like that now and just realized while writing this that that is probably the reason. .. Heh.

(Also there's a setting that will change what will happen if you reach max msgs (like have it delete oldest instead of do nothing ....)

Hope that helps ..

Yeah so that leaves the issue of your intended receiver having HIS inbox already filled up ...

A tough one there! What do you do?? .. send him a PM ?? I guess not ....

Maybe you can bother the Admin about it and see what he can see ....

If a mailbox is full, the messages just go on hold until messages are deleted.
I have no idea why you are getting your messages sent back. In fact, I have never heard or seen any messages being sent back. What are you seeing that is telling you they are sent back?
