Full inbox meter

[OuTpaTienT]

One of the boards I visit has this feature (see attached gif). I think it'd be cool to have something like that here.

I believe we had a thread on this last year. Hotmail even has this...the current form is rather odd, IMO:
- It's at the wayyy bottom of the main forum page
- it does not tell how many total messages I can have

Also, if this idea does initiate support, someone on the higher end of things (aka mod) needs to email this to Scott for Priority One attention....in the PM tracking thingy, I had 2 PMs that were totally unread by him from many months ago

If you assume the messages sent to him are unread because it says so in your message tracking, then don't assume that. I know of an instance that I sent Scott a PM and I know for fact he read it, but my message tracking still showed it as unread.

Well, I throw down my support for the inbox meter!! Lets give it a go!

Gets my 'Supreme' vote too, it's a logical progression

I believe that there was a concern about the server load due to the additional queries.

The limit is 120 total PM's. I can add that information to the FAQ thread.

That'll help, Fingers... but I still vote for the "full inbox meter".

Methinks that is the 'Deny receipt' feature.

hmmm I'm still confused.

Why does the message tracking show that then?
