Mr. Admin already posted:

"Private messages are increasing the database size. Older members still have hudreds of PMs in their inbox that cannot be deleted. Thats because PMs are hard deleted from database only if both sender and receipent delete the PM. So there are some rules to avoid database congestion in the future.

Members can have a total of 25 PMs stored and can send 5 PMs/day.

Forum Leaders have much more space allowed for PMs.

Don't forget to use instant messages (IMs) with members that are online.The IMs are also private. There is no email notification and they are deleted once sender and receiver read the message. There is no limit on instant messages yet. I changed the refresh rate to from 20 to 5 seconds so this will work faster.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Regards!"
