Reply To PM

[Rockslinger]

So, I get a PM from another TERBIE (it happens). I spend 2 hours carefully crafting an 800 word reply. I hit the "send" button. THEN I GET THIS POPUP THAT SAYS MY REPLY COULD NOT BE EFFECTED BECAUSE OF 10,000 POSSIBLE REASONS. (Turns out that the other TERBIE had been banned.)

IS THERE ANYWAY TO KNOW IN ADVANCE WHEN A PM TO ANOTHER TERBIE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE SYSTEM? Also, is there an early warning system when the intended recipient's PM box is full?

I hate the 1500 character limit... (I have been known to be rather long winded!)

How the fuck can you get 800 words into 1500 characters!

kinda like 800 @ 1.87

unfortunatly no early warning system ,but, you could send a test message, create your real message in word, copy it to the PM box in the event PMs are full. That way, you have a back up copy saved for when users PMs are cleared.

You are long winded because you provide so much preamble and background to the issue.

I think a simple solution is to remove a member's name from the rolldown name menu when a PM cannot be sent to them for whatever reason. For example, I heard that there are some members who do not accept PM's (or collect calls).

LOL... yes, I no all those short cuts (Did you see my post earlier bout txt msgs?) but this was a particularly involved PM that required a fair amount of detail! LOL! (I ended up splitting into 3 sections!

Before you send it hit the preview button. It will tell you if you have exceeeded the 1500 max or if their inbox is full etc.

Before you send it hit the preview button. If their inbox is full etc.

If their box is full, you can then save the message for a more convenient time? Would this method also work when someone is not accepting PM's or is banned?

verbosity is not a virtue.
