Title: Private message limitation
Post by: Zeno on December 05, 2011, 09:41:43 AM
I can't use private messages any more... there's an error saying I've exceeded dunno what limit.

Is there a limit? Which kind of limit? It may be my fault, but if there was a limitation there probably I should know something about... shoudn't I? ???

To test things a bit more, I added you to group "can send PM"...

I think you should be free from the limit on amount of PMs. Although, there might be a limit to how may you can send per hour.

It might be that, VS... now I've been able to send one. I'll keep an eye on this anyway.
Btw, I'm not sure how useful is a per-hour-limitation... I tend to answer all of my PMs (if any) in a row, despite there aren't a lot of them most of the times.
Obviously such a limitation would prevent a potential spammer to send a bunch of PMs at a time, but... well, that.

The intention, with SMF2, is not to limit them. So there may be some problem somewhere - like the forum being set to Albanian for most people...

When I checked the permissions - It's set so that forum members have no limitations that I can see; yet obviously, there were problems sending PMs. So.... it's a problem, not a decision. :)
