Default PM Inbox purge - Complete
Hi All,

I will be performing a clearing out of the PM (private messaging) system here on MTS2, which includes removing all PMs sent and recieved that are older than 6 months. At that point I will also be recalculating PM totals.

It is advised that if you want to keep old PMs, you archive them using the dropdown at the bottom of the Private Messaging screen.

Also of note: There are, at the time of writing this, 1,072,167 PMs in the database here at MTS2. [b]544,297[b] (that's basically HALF) are unread. Don't you people read your PMs? :D

I will be doing the purge on Wednesday 22nd August. If you haven't archived your PMs at that point they will be removed.

Regards
Delphy

I have the humongous total of one PM (the one I got to start with), but it is still good that we get warned about routine maintenance - and that the staff here are dutiful and enthusiastic enough to organise it.

Thanks for warning/informing us, I only got 19 and I don't think I need to save any of these (and I always read new messages:D).

What's the betting 99% of the unread PMs are reject/approval PMs... .

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

If it helps any, for some reason mine claims that I have over 65,000 unread messages, when infact I have 0 unread messages.. :-S

65531 Unread, Total 100

*Edit: Okay, that's weird.. cleaned out a few of my messages and now it is reading the correct amount of unread messages.. wow! I haven't seen a 0 there in months!!*

Hm... I don't really send PM's except to ask creators about problems that I'm having with downloads... I'll see if I can delete the few that I have. >_>

Thanks for telling us. Mine says that I have 1 unread message but I have non in the inbox and one read for a total of 2 messages in my inbox. That unread one I have had it sinse I joined, never found it o.O I hope that with this clean up it goes away and I can finally see a 0 in my unread messages.
