Pm bs

[CHEMMINS 10+ year member]

Ok, so out PM boxes got reduced in size. Whatever.....

But giving vendors the ability to mass pm everyone to use up that little bit of space is BS!

And, it is said by Goob himself.....that if you want a bigger pm box, become a vendor at $40 a month.

Check out the details here- http://www.caraudio.com/forums/forum-news-bug-reporting-usage-questions/514583-supporting-vendor-memberships-now-available.html

If this place wants to be like all of Ant's forums, then at least give us the same size pm boxes as you get on his sites.

Again, not a money grab. The mass PM is not what it seems. You can send up to 10 recipients at a time. Regular members can send up to 2. I will clarify that on the page.

I hate how its so tiny now. I dont even use my pms and I've just got a few saved from some transactions and info I wanted to keep and its almost full. Quite an inconvenience,

Goob, why not set up a supporting member account as well. Not a vendor. With say....1500 pm limit for $25 a year.

You would prolly get better results. And make the base "free" membership a 250 pm limit.

And if you want recurring monthly....make it $2 a month.

this forum is free....why the complaints?

how many PMS do you need?

as soon as im done with a sale or talking to someone I delete the whole convo

Sorry if you dont like everything about it, but it was only about a week ago now that members expressed a desire to have manufacturers and retailers return to this site. Now that goob implements a plan to try and do that, people are upset about it.

150 PM box size is too small for you, even with the relatively new IM function? Clearing your PM box only takes a few seconds, how often do you expect this to occur?

I didn't just biotch....I offered an economic solution.

And some of us have valuable info stored there.....also some people like to keep record of their transactions.

Also Goob should give a How To, of setting up a ca.com email acct.

Do you need 150 records of transactions? Im not trying to be a smart ***, Im just trying to decide if this really is going to be an issue for most members.

Well sometimes a transaction can take 10-15 pms. And remember, that is incoming and outgoing . So in reality you have 75 pm's, cause you have 1 sent and 1 recieved.

If there was a way to amalgamate a pm conversation, that would be even better.
