You know you love the pimp, RSL. After Christmas, maybe someone will pimp out your pirate avatar.

You don't need to tick. There's an "Empty Folder" thing at the top that clears everything in the inbox and/or sent messages thing respectively. O_O

Haha, Psycho's dumb.

Anyway, just a question: why 65535? That seems like such an arbitrary number to correspond to "infinite."

2^16 = 65536. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Result:
Cid: Okay, I'll probably do it. Right now is just a bad time for me to set it up though.
Cid: Remind me in a couple days.
Miriel: ok, just wanted to bring your attention to it
Cid: Sure, thanks.

Man, were you guys just not trying? :P

Yeah, 65535 is the vB limit

65536 = 64K = 2 Bytes = mysql smallint(5) unsigned datatype = what vB uses for PM count.

Absolutely correct. Very good observation.

I think they just assumed that he would eventually look at the thread. Please remember to follow up with your query in a few days' time.

*changes DT to 1000, and SS/SSS to more since they're staff and should have more*

I worked so hard and was so so close to maxing out my 1000 too :P

Now it will take another two years!

It's pretty sad when the members have to do the Staff's job! You admins are no-good and lazy.
