Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Or, at least, that's what it says on the top right corner of the screen, under my "Private Messages" link.

Randy,

We are all quite envious!

This is something that will be looked into.

We don't know how to quit you, Randy.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

I'm apparently not quite as popular as you since i have 65531...but, being the semi-popular bitch that I am, they are all unread as I just don't have the time.

I used to have that many until I cleared all my PMs. Now I have zero

Guys:

Look through all of them and see which ones of them are duplicates, etc. if you would.

I had around 84 PM's stored in the in & out boxes until I deleted them all and, until I went back to the PM page, it said 0.....now after re-entering the page it says:
Quote:
Welcome, Kevin M.

You last visited: Today at 01:20 PM
Private Messages: Unread 65534, Total 38.
even though I erased them all.

EDIT: ok, I realised that I had not erased my sent messages so I did this and now the count is 0....however I should mention that none of the saved messages had any text aside from sig quotes and topic heading.

But, Parker, aren't all our PMs empty?

I didn't think they survived the upgrade.

My account also says "Unread 65535" but my Inbox lists "0" PMs.

I tried to PM two moderators just now about a thread I posted in the wrong forum (it's in the audio/video forum), but got a message saying both their inboxes were too full.

Sunspots? Aliens? Timothy Leary's ghost?

Post-upgrade PMs are fine.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

I also get this. When I got to the home page, I got a PM alert. When I go to my PM menu, it's not there.

I had the same Phantom PM alert too Patrick. Guess its a new glitch.

Is anyone reading or doing anything about this?

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

I'm still kinda curious about the old PMs, too. They probably still "exist" somewhere...because when we reverted back to the old software after the first attempt at an upgrade all our old PMs came back, too!

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Count me in as a popular son of a bitch too. If you delete all PM's things go back to normal.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

I didn't have this problem until just now, when I sent a PM [to a Moderator]. Now I do.
post #18 of 36

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

I would simply delete all my old PMs...but I'm just waiting to hear from Parker that there's no way we can regain those old PMs from before the upgrade.

I like the new feature to download all PMs into xml, csv or text. Wish it was available before!

In the meantime, I continue to have 65,527 unread private messages. (or a "real" total of 507).

Check the "Messages: xxx" box at the top right of the message list and then choose "Mark as read" from the pulldown menu in the lower right of the PM list. Click "Go" and it will mark all messages as read and reset your totals correctly.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Jeff:

Done! Thanks for that!

My other question still stands, though, about the fate of all pre-upgrade personal messages.

Gone forever? Or, maybe available at a later date? If I know I'm never getting them back, I'll just clean out all these empty PMs.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Well, it looks like Parker is working on something....

A link with this text has just shown up on our Private Messages pages:

[Archive to old PMs click here].

The link doesn't seem active yet..but this might portend the return of the old PMs.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Mike et al:

That link to the archive of old PMs takes you back to the old site were you will have to put in your username and password and this will list all of your old PMs.

Parker: Too cool for school!

Except...when I click on the link it takes me to a page with the HTF logo in the upper left, a banner ad, and the small-print copyright info on the bottom. That's all.

Will we have to log out of the current software to accomplish this?

=====================================

EDIT: This thing works like a dream now.

Now to figure out how to back them all up before they DO go away forever.

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

post #29 of 36

Re: Apparently, I'm popular, because i have 65535 private messages

Tony:

You had a bunch of older messages that were still marked as unread. I marked them all as read so the blinking envelope will stop and you can go forward from here.
