Ok, I have added the new files to my forum.
Now, I recently sent a message to everyone in my forum (because the PM Limit was not working, it did not stop me sending new messages).
But now the PM limit is working, of course it has blocked me from sending new messages !
So........... I have completly cleaned out my in and out box and I have nothing what-so-ever in either, unyet it is still blocking me from sending new PM's ! 
I have logged in and out of my account twice to see if it has made any difference, but it hasn't !
Any suggestions ?!
Also, I dont mean to sound rude, but: I am going to say this for the very final time ! -I already fixed this myself, so I dont care if no one listens ! ..........in privateread.asp the AIM and ICQ Options DONT WORK ! They never have done ! Beacuse they use the same call-up options as what was used in snitz 3.3 and they have not been changed !
This must be the 87th time I have posted that statement !  
I am about to go to bed now- so I willc check the PM thing again tomorrow, and see whats going on ! |

OK, further to my above post- I have just gone into PM Maintenance and checked what unread messages there are and such !
..........and I think, that maybe when it counts the PM's that you have sent in your outbox- even when you remove them- it is still counting them, because you have still sent them, and they are still in the database waiting to be read by the recipient.
This would mean that until all the PM's you have sent have been read, you are blocked from sending new messages ! (I hope that makes sence) ! (just a suggestion to why this limit error is not working- I may be wrong but it was worth a try) !
Also- I would like to comment that, admin accounts should be allowed to over-ride the limit ! -would that be easy to implement ? |

I won't be able to do a thing on these issues until Monday as my DSL line has been cut at home by a city crew working on improvements that seem to include eliminating DSL access. I am only able to check this board a couple times a day with a 2400bps line and leave town tomorrow until Monday. I will take a look at these issues then and see what I can do.

<% end if

to the top of my forums above everything else, where about would i put the code?
I will look at this, too. I think it would be a good option to include in the readme but I don't have the time just now to dig it all out.

You mean they do that in you city, too! 
Hey, you took an oath when you decided to be a MOD author. You swore to
- Not have a life beyond Snitz and your MOD
- No traveling, going out of town, or even leaving your chair except for potty breaks and something to eat
Your MOD users come first in your life - oppps, not supposed to have one! - make that Snitz life

Yeah, that is a sitewide problem... if you click on active users (if you have the mod installed) you get an error when trying to send an AIM or ICQ message. you just get:
error '80020009'
Exception occurred.
/forum/inc_func_common.asp, line 413
how did you fix this problem?? i for one would like to know...
re: the blocking PM problem. i had this too. make sure you have put the PMLIMIT dims into your config file. otherwise this mod will think your PM limit is 0 no matter what you set it to. |

OK, I have fixed the AIM and ICQ options (and correted the order in which they appear to match topic.asp (small issue, but still)) !
Download it: http://www.harchester.net/privateread.txt and change the file extension to make it .asp !
As for active_users.asp I deleted those options from that page (for design purposes) so I never really had that problem to overcome. However if you add the changes that I made to privateread.asp and replace them into active_users.asp it should be fine ! |

OK, I have looked at the database (and someone might want to correct me if I am wrong) BUT: the way I see it, is that the database only contains ONE version of each PM sent. So.... there is not 1 message version for the senders outbox and another version for the recipients inbox.
Its the same version, and the last field in the database M_OUTBOX simply tells the senders outbox to either display the PM or not.
(this is why you always remove messages from your outbox- you cant delete them, like you can in the inbox).
If you send someone a message, it appears in your outbox. Once the recipient has read the message, if they delete it, it no longer appears in your outbox because it has been deleted !
This would mean (if what I have said is true, and I am sure it is), that when the PMLimit feature counts the PM's to determine the limit- you only need to have it count the messages in the INBOX.
Beacuse as long as you control your messages in your inbox- the outbox does not matter (because in effect, your outbox is someone else's inbox) !!
I hope I have made that as clear as possible ?! lol |

Download the file- as far as I am aware it fixes the PM limit problem !
I have done what I said- made it so that it only counts the PM's in your inbox.
It now does not count the messages in your outbox since you dont have any control in deleting them !
I have only fixed this problem for access, and not for SQL, since I have never used SQL Database- so maybe @tomic or someone else would be better having a go at it !
reply with any problems if any of yous test it ! |

Don't worry I will update this file by Monday at the latest. It's amusing though because this is the way MPLimit was originally counted and I got complaints that it wasn't counting all the PMs. Ah well. back to square 1.

I dont think that people realised the way PM's are set up. ie: the message in your outbox, does not actually belong to you- and you cant delete it (you can only remove it from displaying in your outbox), only the recipiant can delete it !
There are a lot of things, the way it all works- that is not obvious, and I think it would be a good idea to explain in the readme file.
This is one thing that all the MODS lack- explanations of how the MOD works, why it does what it does. Anyways- I believe that when you update those two files, that will conclude all the bugs and errors in this MOD, and we can all relax ! (until next time) ! lol
......any chance of getting signatures and maybe even avatars into the MOD ? |

I could definately add signatures but avatars would have to be an option. Maybe even an option desired by many people so it's definately worth looking into for that reason but for myself I think it's getting into overkill because PMs are not topics. But as I said, I will look into it.

I also saw something cool at www.aol.com involving their webmail. You can sort the mail by author, subject, time sent etc. I think for those utilizing PMs a great deal this might make a useful feature.
