I am currently getting pms via email, but they are not showing up in my pm inbox on the forum.

I deleted back under 50 but the inbox said I was at 54% so I didn't think that was a problem.

Do you have anything in folders? It might be 54% in the Inbox but the rest elsewhere? Like the Sent Messages?

Arwyniel, thanks for the heads up. I know I wasn't aware of this.

We'll have to look into it. Unfortunately we've done a lot of blanket IP banning to deter specific problem causers.

Ah, I see. I thought they were exclusive of each other. Probably the problem, not a bug... well I am the bug.

I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I'll place it here . . . am I just missing it, or is there no way to go back and mark a PM as unread?

I have sent 2 PMs and both are shown sitting in my OUTBOX.... neither is shown under the SENT Messages listing, although after I hit SUBMIT the statement "This message has been successfully sent" does show up.

When I sent a test message (via PM) to myself, it DID show up in the SENT messages listing and NOT in the OUTBOX.
So, were the messages sent? (The recipient has not responded , altho' he may not yet have seen them, if they did, in fact, get sent successfully)
How long does a message sit in the OUTBOX?

I've got the same issue.

Re: Bugs to be fixed

I am unsure at the moment, but looking at the settings and understanding how phpBB works, it seems that the messages will sit in the Outbox if the recipient *potentially* has a full Inbox. In essence, your Outbox is working as a buffer until the recipient makes room. Once that is done, the messages should theoretically move to your Sent box... if I am grasping what I've seen so far. In the old forum, this was resolved by the simple message that told you that person's PM box was full. :huh:

We need to get the multiquote function back. Doing a multiquote manually is a real pain.

Oh, never mind. It's here. You simply have to start your first reply, then drop below and click the quote symbol for each post you want to quote.

I haven't had a huge logging in problem. Just happens occasionally.

So...is this not an option?

Sorry, I overlooked this question... I can look around and see what if I can do anything. GuardianWolf might know more if its not a clickable setting if its some sort of code/feature we could add.

I've tweaked the settings regarding logins. Let me know if this clears it up.

Basically (for anyone curious), phpBB tries to ensure that you really mean to keep yourself logged in. That way if you're on a friend's computer or in a public lab, it won't leave you logged in there. There are several "levels" of security that handles this. I can lower it further if we need to.

Re: Bugs to be fixed

It also has to do with your ISP. Your ISP assigns a dynamic IP address, most do. So when phpBB sees that you're on a different IP than you were before, it doesn't log you in automatically. Depending on what your ISP does, your IP address from one connection to another might vary a little or it might vary a lot. phpBB allows for every level of variation.

Yes, we are aware. Seems that nothing is wrong with the forum software, our server, or the dns. GW seems to be certain it's an issue affecting users of Comcast, which he is, as are yourself and Olorin. All report normal access from their phones but not their PCs.

Go figure! Comcast!
A company who sells the fastest internet services with the SLOWEST website on the planet!

I'm back on as well, but it couldn't have happened at a worst time, I lost contact right after launching the new helm.
I have to pay Comcast a visit Saturday and confront them with doubling my bill out of the blue. :viking:

I've had lots of annoyances with Comcast over the years, generally due to them increasing my bill and being hard to negotiate with for a lower one. All previous cable companies we've had in this area were much easier to get promotional deals from. With Comcast, you pretty much have to threaten to quit to get a price break from them.
