    [​IMG] Since the autodelete function of the PM system never worked and only spewed out an internal server error when it was supposed to delete the messages over the limit set, I've worked out a bit more elegant solution.

    You can receive as many PMs as you're sent, but you cannot send out messages yourself unless you have less messages in your Inbox/Outbox than the set limit.

    Anyway, I updated the FAQ to reflect the changes: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/faq.html#pm

    If anyone has any questions, please ask here. I'll make this a sticky for a while.

    [​IMG] Um, so that you don't unnecessarily store hundreds of old PMs?

    Btw, I've found a small bug in the code that prevented any reply info like the old message and name of whom you reply to being automatically inserted. This is now fixed.

    If anyone notices any weird behaviour/bugs with sending PMs, please post here!

    Um I have a problem with my PM system, but not what your talking about.

    I just recently changed my user name from DinoTiggy1 to Frostbite.

    I wanted to PM 8people, all of my old PM's were deleted, understandable.
    But when I tried to send a new one it wouldn't let me, it came up with the message that.

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    I don't know what to do about it, can you help? Or is it because I changed my username?

    Log out of the boards first and come back, and use your new username and pass to enter the PM system from the front page in case you're not recognized automatically. Tell me how it goes.

    [​IMG] No, it didn't work, I still get the same message, even when I tried to log in from a different PC.
    I have only changed my username, not my password, is that whats wrong?
