I tried sending a PM the other day and my limit had been reached. I think when the move was made even all of the previously deleted messages were transferred. I had to empty all of my folders, including the trash (which is where they go when deleted)  so members should clean them out if they want more messages. I tried sending one to Ralph this AM but he is over limit so I am thinking it may a be widespread problem

Thanks for that tip, we're still finding a few surprises from the transition. It could be that the limits from the old software were higher than the one we're now using, so I have raised the PM limit, but I don't know how much is enough to help everyone out. The limit was 200, I've upped that to 500, still, I think your advice is good. Take a look at your PM folders and delete what you don't want or need. You do have an option to move them to the "trash can" or "delete" them. I would go with "delete".
Even though I deleted mine, they were moved to the trash can and I was no where near 200 but was out of space. It includes the messages in all folders so be aware of that.

Yes, from the looks of things, you are correct that the limit includes everything in all your folders including, "in box", "sent" and, "trash can". I just deleted some older messages in my in box and sure enough, they wound up in my trash can. That makes me wonder why we have the ability to move a message to the "trash can", or delete it if they both do the same thing. Icon_rolleyes The only thing I can tell you is that it's the way the software is and there's no options to change that.

In any event, you can empty any of you folders by clicking on, "Empty Folders" at the top of whatever folder you are in. It is also a good way to find out your folder's message counts.

We are all learning as we go, so once again, I thank you Charlie for finding this. If a 500 limit is not enough, let me know.
