Title: Automatically save outgoing PM's in outbox Post by: Mushoz on July 30, 2012, 01:21:28 PM I forget checking the "Save a copy in my outbox" option a lot when sending PMs, but I want to save all outgoing PMs to keep track of a lot of things. Is there a way to keep it enabled by default? If not, could this please be implemented? Thank you very much in advance :)

Thank you very much, GoodBear! Title: Re: Automatically save outgoing PM's in outbox Post by: rjk on July 30, 2012, 01:46:26 PM Actually I think it would be useful if the forum software would enable that automatically upon account creation, although that could lead to ballooning disk space.

Compared to all the forums posts, PMs shouldn't require significant disk space.

Compared to all the forums posts, PMs shouldn't require significant disk space. My sent PM's are slightly less than a tenth of my posts. While small, I wouldn't quite call that insignificant.

Good point. Probably just a few flags (since each user can "delete" pms individually, which really just hides them from that user).

If you made it the default, you'd need to set up a system which alerted users when their PM box was getting close to the limit. Someone's inbox being constantly full is more annoying than them not having PMs enabled and it leads to a shitload of "empty your inbox" threads.

Someone's inbox being constantly full is more annoying than them not having PMs enabled and it leads to a shitload of "empty your inbox" threads. If there was going to be a limit, I would like a way to export PMs to a .csv dump file, and possibly even have the export signed by the forum for safekeeping. Also on a slightly off-topic-ish tangent, I also use a feature of the current software extensively - that of Labels. They can be used as folders by adding a label and then removing the inbox label. So for instance, you could set up labels for "processed" or "hardware sales", and then add one or more labels to a message. Once you remove the Inbox label, it disappears out of the Inbox, but remains accessible in the other label sections. Unfortunately, this can't be done with outgoing sent messages.

It looks like it might be difficult.
There is no PM limit.

Click "Change current options for all members using this theme" Set the pulldown next to "Save a copy of each personal message in my outbox by default" to CHANGE. Check the box, also. Scroll down and save your changes.
