PM Gauge Feature Added

[Thunderfall]

I added a PM gauge feature to the PM page that shows how much space your PM have used up. Go to your PM page and see it in action! The gauge only counts the messages in the inbox folder at the moment.

I might add a PM gauge to the main forum page too (maybe I'll omit the gauge bar there).

Just noticed it. Cool.

Me too! Very nice...

Now it's also on the forum main page. I ommitted the bar because it takes up a little too much space:

10% full because I have 7 PMs and posters are allowed to store a total of 70 PMs.

I was wondering if you had chagned the limit. Wasnt it like 60 before??

Hey TF, I had a hack suggestion in the Another new feature?? thread. I'm just trying to get your attention.

P.S. I would post it in here again but that would be like a double post!

 

[Thunderfall]

The gauge now should count the PMs in all your folders.

I think it was always 70.

Does the one on the main page only count the inbox? It says 11% full, but the one inside says 15% full.

Edit: Now it says 15% also.

Wow, TF, you're just full of surprises today.

I like this a lot. I often forget how full my inbox is getting, then someone tries to send me a message, but it can't get through.

All those surprises were made possible by the new version of vB. There are still lots of cool hacks out there... so far all the hacks I've installed are simpler ones that don't require me to mess with the forum database. Eventually I'll install those more complicated ones...

Well, I really like them. Thanks, TF.

I like it!
Lots of great things in the last few days!
Makes me want to come back just to see whats new

Question : I got 2 PMs in my inbox and no folders but it says I'm 42% full? Any idea why?

 

[Knight-Dragon]

I have no PMs; this feature is pointless for me.

Any add feature is a good thing!

 

[spycatcher34]

Daaraa maybe you have more than you think. Go to you inbox and change the veiw to since the beginig...

Check how many sent PMs you have.
Go to Jump To Folder--> Sent Items
