Hi... is it possible to add a feature that will pop-up a box, or have in red writing or whatever, that'll basically say you have reached 90 of your allocated 100 messages storage. Or any kind of figure like that, I don't check my PM storage(not that I don't want to, it doesn't cross my mind to do it!) and when I write a long pm.. than for it to say I can't send because I've reached my limit... : Than I have to write it all again, someones I click 'back' button and it'll come up with can't display a page etc.

Ah.. and it could also help for when people send PM's that it doesn't go through because you used all your PM space (but without realizing it.)


Possible?

Would be possible I'd suggest, though I've not looked at how difficult or easy it would be to make happen.

It will be up to the directors of the site though, to see if it's a wanted modification.

I thought you already have a status bar, red and green, that shows storage limitations

http://www.fordforums.com.au/private.php?

You could also consider becoming a DM and have the storage size increased

Yes there is, if you scroll down below the message edit area, there is a box which can be unticked which says something along the lines of "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder."

It is not a persistent setting though, it needs to be done each time.

What Plext has explained is not working?

Donating Members get larger storage limits.

I have a PM here for you, I just can’t send any until my DM status is restored.

Cheers,
