Once you have more posts, your PM box will grow.

Note that posting in this very thread increases your post count.

Ah ok i see, thank you very much

Does the limit increase with the forum ranks from the FAQ or just every 100 posts?

Mine stopped at 30.

I can offer perspective on Lor Dric's statement... 6,000 posts after his... it'll still be 30 PM's...

30 is the maximum limit

 

[Wildy]

Thanks for the answers.
I wonder when i got that limit.
Guess you need less than 1k posts.

Noticed this too. I also find the 30 limit quite small, especially when for some reason, you have to check on back what you wrote. An option would be to link the PM box to a regular email address outside PI, which could than serve as storage room. Just like ebay does, by providing this awesome option 'send a copy of this message to my email box'. I once tried to set this for PI fora too, but didn't manage to find the option in my user CP; than again, there is always the possiblity that I missed something.

You can always download and save your messages as an XML, CSV or TEXT file.

I get e-mail copies of all my PMs sent to the address I'm registered on the forum with, and I have absolutely no recollection of how I did so. That probably isn't much help, but it means there's an option somewhere for it, so keep looking

User control panel, edit options.

User control panel, edit options.

Tick the box that says:

The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message.
[] Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages

The e-mail you get will contain the text from the PM.
