A Suggestion To Devs

[Psychedalienation]

Can you guys move this to STH? It won't let me post there I guess.

Okay, so I just had a suggestion: When you're messaging someone with a full inbox, it should tell you that the inbox is full WAY before you type an 8 paragraph message. Like when I click on their name and hit "Private Message" it should tell me right then and there that I won't be able to send it. That way, it doesn't waste 30 minutes of my time just to say, "This person cannot receive messages because their inbox is full..."

Just a suggestion. Thanks

that's a great suggestion but i'm not sure our platform (vbulletin) is able to do that out of the box or with the addition of plug-in code...

in the meantime, you can mitigate this in future by copying the whole response before you hit send. two keystrokes and no misery

Those PMs seem to go through though.

You hit "send" get the error, but it's like held in a queue or something until the box is emptied. Recipient eventually gets it.
