[Suggestion] Full PM Box Alert

[laxgthreeone]

Ok so my pm box was full just recently and I didnt notice it. I was thinking if we had some type of alert or message that would appear when your private message box is full. Something along the lines of a banner in bright red writing or blinking red writing saying: Alert: Private Message Box Full. When your pm box is full and would appear on the homepage. This could help out with the posts coming up: (Fill username in here) Clear your pm's!. If this topic has been discussed before my bad im sorry, I found nothing when searching. Also if this is already a part of the forums, I feel very dumb and am once again sorry.

Thanks,

Actually...

You get one in your email. It's a really nifty new part of the updated site.

oh, so i guess this idea doesn't do much except for the people who :

A. Never Check Their Email < Rare

B. Used somebody Elses Email When Registering
^ Who they had access to , in order to confirm the reg.

you get a e-mail telling you when you've got a new PM, or when your box is full?

When your box is almost full. Here, I'll pull up what I got:

Dear Lax101,

Your private messages box on The Lacrosse Forums has reached 90% of your allowed quota. To ensure that you do not reach 100% of your allowed messages, you should consider archiving or deleting some of your messages. Please visit this page to do so:

All the best,
The Lacrosse Forums
Nifty, eh?

is it possible for something to pop up though?

Sending an email is a simple notification that can be done without any editing to the website. Trying to create some popup or addition to the actual site is a huge pain, especially given that we just re-did the forum. There are dozens of thinks that the forum could have that would make it great, but they're simply not feasible given a vBulletin frame. It's not like this is HTML from scratch.

yea, i guess that makes sense and the email would be heplful but, its funny because i never got the email when my pm box was 90% or 100% full. does it have to be full for a certain amount of time ? if the forums ever go back under an update i think this still might be a nice adition.

Just to let you all know, we don't want people like that. With Yahoo and Gmail being so easy to acquire email addresses, there is no excuse not to have your own. Usually people who sign up using someone else's email get banned from here because they're only registering to cause problems, or to smurf the forums.

it's not that hard to look at the top left corner to see your total number of pm's
