I would prefer 500 .. I do alot of trading and 100 to 200 just doesn't' seem enough. I would prefer to see all the expired posts deleted or moved to another server before we loose our PM's
Thanks for the update....i better do some cleaning lol
I think 100 is more than enough myself. Thanks for the heads up though.
What about pruning the redundent old posts in the big bulky threads. Many threads only require the most recents posts, like say a week or even a months worth. Can't the posts be reduced down to only what is currently required to be fully useful at this time.
I know it is done on other boards. I am on one that only has the last day or two in all of the radio loyalty threads. They prune daily. Even if you leave a week or a months worth it, would reduce them immensely. That's gotta reduce your server load by quite a bit.
Also, could the threads be limited to a number of pages. Say 10, or even 20 for example. Once a thread reaches the limit of pages, the older posts would face automatic deletion as newer posts are added. The first post would have to be locked to preserve the contest, coupon or deal info. Like a sticky at the start of each thread.
Just me thinking out loud. I think these ideas are worth thinking about.
Thanks for thinking of us, Boo!
It seems the people most in need of the large inboxes are those that run multiple trades / trains. Is there a way to change allowances based on that? A way to set up a rank system based on trade rating? That is, somebody like Seajay with a high trading has a bigger inbox than me. A default of 100 messages and then every +5 trade rating gives you another 100 messages or something?
I dunno if it would work, but it seems like it might help alleviate the stress on the server without putting the really busy people in a bad position.
when is this going to take effect, exactly?
reminder that Boo has said 200 messages now rather then 100
