What is the standard limit for "regular" users' PM boxes? Mine is 250 (total in/out) but so far I've seen two other regular members indicating that their limit is well over 250. I'm assuming theirs is 350 but don't know for sure.
So, why the discrepancy? Or are they telling a tall tale?
I think members have 250 where as the staff have 500. Unless those pesky admins give themselves a higher number :P
Apparently, some regular members have a limit of 350 (and I think at least one of them is a fairly new member, which really surprised me). I'm not asking for my limit to be increased; I'm only wondering what the difference is between those with 250 and those having 350. But, it's obviously some sort of a secret since no one wants to reveal WHY.
Whatever. Keep your precious secret :roll:

Your PM box is 91% full.
:)
Registered Users have a 250 storage limit.
Here's mine...
It doesn't show me a percentage full on mine... I keep my Inbox/Sentbox quite cleaned out and tidy. :)Quote:

So why do some regular members have a 350 limit?
it's an tariff option, similar to phone providers
you can get 100 extra messages, but your call time is reduced by 30%
I can have 350 PM's
but each one can only be 10 words long
LMAO - I think I just dribbled, just a little....
=(

Either that or I found out something I wasn't supposed to. You do know that DV is run by a strong-arm terrorist organisation, don't you? Oops, I probably shouldn't have revealed that.Quote:

I dont think one of them is lying. Maybe it's just random, some people get it, some dont. :pissed:
I'll go ask Gesalt and confirm the number of PM's allowed.
I know, but I still want more Pm's!Quote:

Obviously - since we can't seem to get a straight answer - some people care a hell of a lot more than I do.Quote:

Mommy, she is more of a smart-ass than I!!! :mad:
All of your answers can be found here http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=48041.
It's NOT a secret, and I DID give you a straight answer. I don't know how much plainer to make it:Quote:

Contrary to apparent popular belief, this isn't a big deal. It's the responses that are making it so. I was only asking a question that seems to have been unanswered at the time. Now, it's become a senseless riddle shrouded in false and unforeseen mystery. None of which really matters in the least. Thanks for turning a simple question into an unnecessary circus.
Gee, move along folks. There's nothing to see here.
Senseless pastures: here we come. Thy field so green with anticipation. Thy soil so fertile with dung :mrgreen:
No pain old special group?
I must be part of an Uber special secret society group then..
I MEAN, that means I'm a perfectly normal user with a perfectly normal PM box.
Actually GH, you asked the initial question - which I plainly answered, then you proceeded to go on and say that no one is giving you a straight answer. So I guess I don't see how everyone else made this into a big deal when you were the one who kept posting about how much of a secret it was and that no one would answer you, when I already had at the beginning... :whyme:Quote:

You have 108 messages stored, of a total 350 allowed.
Apparently I can get 350 messages. There is no text limit for me. As far as I know I'm a "registered user" so... there you have it.
Explain why he has less of a limit.Quote:

Well I'm not joking around. It's been 350 as long as I remember.
Oh well. Not like I'm going to be using the space anyhow.
Liar; you're a terrorist.Quote:

My sentiments exactly. Though...if another kid's cookie had more chocolate chips than mine, I would start a thread in meta forum entitled "Chocolate Chips Limit" in an effort to find the truth as to why others (possibly) have more chocolate chips on their cookies than I have on mine.Quote:

Yeah, I had a rash like that too, they have a cream these days for it at least...

It's funny how quick everyone was to jump on my ass for asking for a second opinion. Last time I checked, this is where we post questions about the forum.Quote:

Haha, real funny. Not.Quote:

It's a shame you're all acting like a bunch of children. It was a simple question. Ultimately, it doesn't make a shit of difference. It was just a simple, innocent question about the forum's workings and you have to act like I'm some damn conspiracy nut. It was a simple question. But it's a real shame you guys can't take anything seriously.
* remember the whole "role-play world" that was open to only a certain user group while Beautiful_Dreamer was still here (now to everyone)? So to whomever it was that was acting like I'm some damn idiot when I asked about a "special user group": grow up. Oh, and did I mention "Dream Guides" and "Moderators", and "Administrators". You do know that those are "special user groups" too, right?" And guess what? Some of them have different PM box settings too.
Imagine that: I could have actually, honestly, truly just been asking a simple damn question :roll:
'nuff said.
All jokes aside I don't see any reason Oneironaught should have been given any grief. It was a legitamate question that left me curious as well.
Practically, though, I've gotten 116 PMS over the course of four years. I'm not about to use anything above 250 and if I do I promise to be a good boy and clear some out. If push comes to shove find a way to lower me to 250 (which makes me regret ever responding to a PM prompting me to post here. o_O).
Anyone who actually needs over 250, well that's beyond me. Archive them if you must and delete some space. Not very hard.
P.S. The buttons are great. :D

Plus, I hear they sell your soul to Google.
Just search Tom Mabe on YouTube, hes got a bunch. He even feeds the homeless through pranks :D

He only did it for the lulz too.

Lol I've once had a 1-month Gold membership. Appart from the extra PM space, you are allowed to read other people's PMs, and your votes on a poll count as 5 votes. It's really nice!
+ you get a free dreamviews/coca cola T-shirt delivered to your address. Pity it's too big for me :<
