My inbox holds only 5 PMs max?? Help

moodymand · 02-17-2010, 01:07 PM

I maybe have missed this somewhere...

I am not a very active member of TP anymore and haven't been on in a good few years, but I have been back in the last couple of weeks to sell some ponies.

I find my inbox will only store 5 private messages before becoming full. That includes sent messages as well as my actual recieved messages.

Is there something I have to do to increase the capacity (become more active, maybe) or is it some kind of error? It's worse because I'm going through transactions... obviously PMs are going in and out, and I have to keep deleting them and making a note of things elsewhere.

Apologies if I'm just being a n00b

(and I'm not even a proper noob at all, lol!)

no, that's a bit weird

i'll give a heads up to someone and see if they can fix it

I think some strange things can happen when you become inactive. Try posting around a bit more and see if your inbox gets bigger from it (sort of reinstate the account). Do let us know though if that doesn't work.

I had that same problem when I got back on the TP. Once I was active for a while, it brought my PM total back up. I don't remember how long it took though, so I can't give you a time frame. The best thing I could do was to keep leaving the quotes in the PM's so that it kept being repeated like a forwarded e-mail. Hope that helps!

ahh I thought it might be something to do with inactivity. I will try and join in a bit more if I have time lol.

Many thanks all

Moodymand, I've missed you (and your awesome siggie!)

MustBeJewel · 02-22-2010, 01:14 PM

I've missed you too!

Been watching you on DA, though--gorgeous art, as always!

moodymand · 02-25-2010, 12:20 PM

Kar! You're still here, nice to see familiar faces

LOL yes Afropony still lives. I think I may have sold her actually... sad thing is I can't remember...

And Jewel too

Thank you... gah dA takes up almost all my net time these days. So sad. I would love to jump back in here, but I haven't been an active collector for so long lol. No disposable income anymore XD

Oh can I follow you on DA? You can now add your DA to your, uh..
<----- thingy... wossname. The space under your screen name. A lot of people add their ebay and IMs too.
Me, I just do here and the 'Bay - no chat for me unless it's here (our new chat rocks) Half the board has my cell # anyway so I do a lot of texting ^^

Afro-pony forever!! I'm devastated that you sold her

moodymand · 02-27-2010, 03:16 PM

Sure

I'm moodymand on dA... not very inventive with my names haha.

I will have to see if I can work out how to add my dA link then. (There are a lot of new features here since I was active... a few of them confuse me lol!)

Yeah I am fairly sure I no longer have Afro, though I really don't remember 100percent, since all my ponies have been boxed up for years. I'll have to have a look!
