Bigger in box (PM's)

[Guest]

Is there any reason why there is so little room in the "inbox" for Pm's?

Any chance they can be made bigger?

There is a way of making your inbox bigger: join the club.

Non-members 30
Members 100

The non-members is quite generous compared to other fora - mg-rover.org allow just 5!

Just to name a few Matthew, are all free sites, have much larger PM storage and dont require you to be a member.

I can understand the point of giving more priveledges to paid club members, but on here if you reply to 5 pm's your already a 3rd full.

I'm not exactly asking for a hard drives worth.

I don't use any of those other sites but I think the difference is that they don't have any paid-up members so there is no member / non-member difference to maintain.

I guess if you don't like something, there are two options:

1. Vote with your feet and don't use the site
2. Become a member and then use your voice at the AGM to persuade the membership to be more generous to non-members.

My own situation is that after being a member for over 10 years, I have let my membership lapse due to the frustration of not receiving the quarterly magazine on a regular basis. I would have usually overlooked this but after some discussion on here, I was dismayed by how defensive members of the committee were in the face of some well-meaning and constructive advice.

That is another discussion for another time but I mention it because I appreciate that if I want to affect this for the better, I would need to re-join.

By the way - what you can do on this site is export all your PMs to a file and then delete the lot so you have an empty inbox and the old messages in an archive.

I had this problem because my membership had lapsed, I have just renewed and have a vast inbox now

Granted some do ynot have paid up members, but MOC and Scimweb do, and they dont differ on inbox size between members and forum users.
