PM attachment problem solved
For those that have tried to attach a file or pic to a PM and you got the message that your file was too large, there is some good news, finally.
Members that do not delete their PM's should start deleting them, at least those that have over 100 old PM's. For now any member than has less that 100 old PM's need not worry. It appears BFT has reached the max for PM storage. The storage has been extended for now but if the members that keep PM's do not start deleting them, there could be a forced purge of all old PM's. Please send wiperhunter2 a PM. if you have any question, thanks.

How about sharing with the members what the good news is?

I believe the good news is they figured out what the problem was.

[#0000FF]I was the one who brought the problem to the attention of the new owners. And I was the one who suggested arbitrary deletion of ridiculously large collections of PMs...rather than keep enlarging the file capacity of the system.
But you posted anything over 10 PMs. WH2 originally posted 100 PMs. Who is right? Making it only 10 PMs is equally ridiculous.
I also suggested such things as making a like button on posts. And another thing was to be able to set up a BFT "contacts" list...such as we have on email...rather than saving all of our old PMs just so we can find the BFT user names easier.

We were asked to do a copy and paste from a mod board. Ask WH2, it's his message. I'm down to 40 myself.

It's a 100. The 10 was typed in error.

[#0000FF]I'm down to 250 PAGES. And that's after a couple of big purges in the past year. Looks like I got some more housecleaning to do.

[#0000FF]I do quite a bit of deleting as I go along. But some weeks I get as many as 100 PMs...looking for info, maps, pics...and wanting me to go fishing. If I let up for a while I have more cleanup to do. Hadn't realized just how many I have left undeleted.
