(I hope this isn't a forum etiquette violation)

Can I request more space for private messages?  Thanks!

    I have sent two unmistakable PMs that remained unanswered, one expressing support/agreement, the other expressing acknowledgement/appreciation.

    My assumption is that the receivers had decided from the start never to read and/or answer PMs. Apart from that, a PM may go unnoticed for a long time, unless a mail is sent to tell about it.

    As with the threads, there is no obligation to answer anything.

    Jacob, I always receive a warning email when I am sent a new PM...

    So do I, Claudio (I thought you could disable it, but I cannot see how, now); but that may slip, too (drowned in the steady flow and maybe even deleted with spam mails); and the marking here in the forum is rather faint. I have had a few overlooked ones that I discovered after a week aor more.

    Can't everyone take a step back and be just a bit nicer to John C.? Thanks.

    John C.  is Not the Problem, he is just as just as Frustrated as we are.  he is the lone person they put on on a limb to get beat up and take the punishment for the pople higher up than him that don't a rats a**.

    One of these days it wil all come crashing down and they are going to wonder what happened. Then a light will come on and OH, we treated our customers like dirt.

    What an unexpected concept (filling the PM box to prevent people from sending one successfully)!  Are folks doing this trying to be both polite and rude at the same time?  I hope they realize that's impossible.

    That a count increase would make filling one's own PM box to overflowing on purpose more difficult has to be the least valid reason for opposing a message count increase I could imagine.

    If you're unwilling to deal with PMs, perhaps a better strategy might be to just ignore the PM indicator.   Everyone knows participation here is voluntary.  No one's twisting anyone's arm to read a PM, or even to be here at all.

    If my opinion on this offends you, I'm sorry.

    I do ignore it. Rather than fill it up just prefer to have a switch that activate PM that switch to Deactivate PM. For myself I would deactivate it.

    One great advantage of keeping the PMs live is that they are live and can be forwarded and replied to at any time in the future.

    So I am for an increase in space, for all or for those of us in need.

    Currently, I am at 122, having deleted all those no longer relevant. Just before it started to really hurt last time, John saved me/us, and we all went from 100 to 150. The oldest one kept is two years old less two days, in other words from the second month of their existence.

    As far as I remember, John changed it less than a year ago, when someone asked for more space (if it was I, it was more than a year ago).

    First, That would mean that there would be unlimited for spammers to spam.

    Second, it far more important for system administration to kill all the bugs in the current system.

    As far as That is concerned, if you need extra PM space ask admin. to remove my PM space and assign it to you. After the have cleansed the space.

    It is certainly possible; see http://forums.adobe.com/message/1877489#1877489

    However, this has been requested before, but there hasn't even be a comment on it then.

    I personally think it would be very useful to have unlimited personal messages; many useful information are passed via PM.  It's a pity we have to lose these info by having to clean out PMs every few weeks.

    My impression is that John and his team are so busy trying to keep things working as it is, that they cannot afford to spend time trying to find if any improvement can be made using this ancient software...

    Of course you can. More likely than not, though, nothing will be done about it...
