A global wipe of Private Messages (PMs) and Visitor Messages (VMs) is scheduled for October 6th to free up database space and improve housekeeping. Users are encouraged to back up their messages by downloading them in XML, CSV, or text formats, ensuring all folders are included. The current PM storage is approximately 150MB, and while some users have large inboxes, the overall impact on performance is minimal. Unread messages will also be deleted during the wipe, and users are reminded to act quickly to save any important content. This announcement will be reiterated multiple times leading up to the scheduled date.

It's in the staff forum...

Oops, for some reason I was sure it is in the feedback

Early senior moments... I have spent an hour yesterday and an hour today trying to solve chemistry problem, only to find solution is posted in my pH lectures since 2005. Luckily, approach I found this time was much better, so time was not wasted.

Too funny, the first member to ask what happened to their pm's was a mentor. :-p

It's going to take at least a week for my inbox to fill up.
Maybe it will be a week if you have that much-vaunted 50K msg capacity. :devil:

Congrats, now I have no idea to which girls I sent all my copied and pasted love letters. Kidding. :)
But yeah, I didn't see this post and sincerely this hasn't done harm to me.

In the entire ... two weeks ... this was up, I never once saw this message.

You know Greg, 'infractions received' deserves a new start too.

No, we have to keep track of who should be banned - and for what.

Yeah, they did, when you did an upgrade years ago.. You told us to save our blogs if we wanted them and then we could repost or upload them. I copied mine, but didn't bother re-uploading. I think a dozen people, including me, saved Zz's blog, just incase.

I'm not sure, but I think it was the same upgrade where all of the infractions were erased and everyone got set back to zero, so it's been awhile.
