• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

hello,

i logged on today to read, "your pm box is 100% full"

i hadn't gotten any new messages lately, but i deleted all of my pm's anyway. it is still stating 100% full.

any idea what is going on with my inbox?

Don't think I've ever run into that issue before. Clearing your browser's cache and cookies might be a good place to start.
 
Hmm... I initially saw the message when I logged on using my pc. I cleaned my cache, logged on using a different device (iPhone), and still getting the same message.

Thoughts?
 
Aside from the remote possibility that you accidentally moved them to a different folder instead of deleting them, I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
 
got it! :)

the pm limits must have recently changed. apparently you are now only allowed 100 of any type. i had 247 in my sent folder. once i deleted enough to get under 100, the message went away... i just deleted all the sent items. wish i could get the couple dozen inbox ones back though... ugh... live and learn....
 
As far as I can remember, the PM limit for regular members has been 100 for quite a while. If you had a paid membership that recently expired, that would explain it. Were you previously a paying member?

When it comes time to clean out my Inbox, I generally back them up to my PC before deleting.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the private message page where you would select "Delete", several of the other choices are to save your PMs to your own computer in any/all of three formats. I typically save them in all three formats and then delete them at the site. If I ever need to refer back to them, they are on my hard drive.
 
If you had simply renewed you membership, you could have gotten the larger quota right back and been able to recover your private messages. :D

Sorry, but that's the way it is with perks of paid memberships. When the membership expires, those perks go away.
 
He forgot to mention for those of us without memberships: they do have a nifty way to clean out your inbox. You can simply download all your pm's and then wipe them out. So if you don't want to, or you can't, pay for a membership then you can just do that. I've been doing it for going on four years now and have never had a problem.
