missing PM

If you haven't read it yet, then it is still available to the sender in the outbox & can be deleted by sender. You would have the auto notice that it was sent, but you don't get one to say it was deleted - maybe someone wanted your help with something & then found the answer on their own Smile

If you have received any attachments via PM, they will keep your attachement box full - after downloading, you should delete them from uF & save on your 'puter

Ah so! I guess that makes sense. Bit mysterious though... >.>

I still couldn't find any attachments in any of my folders, so I just deleted all my PMs, and it still says the attachbox is 100% full. The status bar, however, looks the same as the regular inbox status bar, which is now at 0%. Glitch?

If you or anyone else would like to send me a PM with an attachment as a test, I'd be much obliged. Smile

Thanks for the PM RedHatty. After I got it, my attachbox said 100% full, and the status bar was blue (filled in). I saved the pretty pic on my hard drive Smile

, then deleted the PM. Now the status bar is empty again, but it still says 100% full.

At least this shows I'm able to receive attachments, which is nice to know. I had this vague idea it was always at 100% because attachments were for VIPs with some special premium account or similar.

Anyway, here are screencaps:

This is a 'feature' on the forums. The term "Attachbox" refers to all the attachments you posted on the forum, either in regular threads or in PMs. Your quota for attachments is "Unlimited" (as it is, by default, for any registered user) and apparently, the forum does not calculate well with infinity, and therefor displays it as 100% full.

It does the same for me. Your actual attachment status is that you have uploaded a total of 11 files with a combined filesize of 413.11KB.

Oh! Okay then. Thank you for satisfying my (anal) curiosity, Giskard. Smile

Back to waiting for the next big thing....
