Mildly relevant here, but the PM message format is pants really. It stores all the messages as a list, both in your inbox and outbox. Every other forum stores them is a conversation format where each message and reply is linked together so you can read through it as a one page message.

Can this be changed at all, or is it entrenched in the forum software and that's what it is.

We are working on the latest software version of the forum and hope to get this done and tested over the next few weeks.  Should have what you are looking for.

Top man. Stick with it.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

Just to emphasis what Alex said. Yes there will be an option in the "My Messages" area for either {All at once} {One at a time} or {As a conversation}

The new improved layout and upgrade is looking promising at the moment even if I do say so myself!  :innocent:

@ADMIN

Another suggestion to make the forum faster: remove every "which DV" thread (except 1 - make that a sticky) 
Losing 28,000 posts like that should make a big difference

Job done  :star:

We could do that but I think we would rather keep it all local if possible.

Hopefully the new server should be up to the job.  :happy2:

You can do that yourself. Go to your messages and click prune on the left. Set it to 1day and hit return.

The messages don't delete down to the 100 limit.  Problem is that you can't send or receive.

If you use Tapatalk to browse the forum, it will store sent PMs as well, something I can't find on the website. Just cleared 140 sent PMs that weren't taken into account of storage space.
