[RobDog888]

Yoda says, wait ye shall. :D

I have room in my inbox and this was a reply pm to the pm I originally sent superman.

Hmm, have you tried again after the 60 seconds? Also, take the extra space from the end of my user name.


Tick, tick, tick...

[zuperman]

Hmm, 2275 seconds have elapsed. So I guess its really going to make you wait. I'll try sending you another pm. See if you can reply to it.

many thx...:thumb:

[penagate]

It's a DB issue, I think. Can you try deleting all of your saved PMs? (Download them first if you want.)

[zuperman]

done that... same problem...

[penagate]

Aight, in that case, after some research, it looks like it's most likely a server time error, which will require an admin to fix. Hold tight. :)

strange... and its only me with this problem?

[penagate]

Well, you seem just to have triggered it through a particular set of circumstances, whatever they may be. I tried on a regular account, and was unable to replicate it. There are several reasons why it can happen, so it's a bit difficult to track down.

But it's not your fault. :)

[zuperman]

But it's not your fault. :)

good... i feel more releafe, now...:bigyello:

[brad jones]

I see nothing wrong on the site or in the configurations. As such, we'll have to let Joe take a look. If he can't figure it out, then he can forward it to the network admins.

Brad!

Face it. VBF just doesnt think you're worthy of sending PM's.

Actually, there's kryptonite in the server.. I helped move it there...

[RobDog888]

Its only about 7.4 years until you can PM anyone again. :(

[Hack]

I'm sure Joe will take a look at this on Monday.

7.4 years... i will not live that long... :eek:
better post my cell phone so you can pm me...:bigyello:

Folks, when describing a problem with the forum, please include system specs, OS, Browser, and connection type/speed. It helps. thanks

However with this issue, there's nothing for me to check. All the settings are as they should be. Have you tried another browser, or another PC?

i'll try that... thx..

[zuperman]

ok... in the same machine, WinXPSP2 box, with both browsers (IE7 & FF) i had the same problem... i will test in another box...

[zuperman]

no can do... i tested in another WINXPSP2 box, with FF and IE6... same problem... must be an account specific problem...

[brad jones]

Joe - is there a date/time stamp stored in the database for an individual? if so, then maybe this got out of whack. This would require a DBA to take a look at the record for issues.

(just reaching for ideas....)

Brad!

[JPnyc]

No, that should be uniform for all. That's in the posts/threads table. Don't even think there's a setting governing it.

[zuperman]

hey... thats not a problem if this is happening only with me... i dont use pm that much... no prob...

[RobDog888]

zuperman, did you get the last pm with my email addy?

[zuperman]

almost...almost...

[NotLKH]

No, that should be uniform for all. That's in the posts/threads table. Don't even think there's a setting governing it.

So,
this incredibly large variable number is stored somewhere in the posts/threads table.
is it possible to find such a large number with a query?
Or is it a function that returns the seconds from the last sent PM's datetime stamp?

It must be tagged to zuperman in some fashion, right?

[NotLKH]

Zuperman,

if you go to your track messages usercp area,

http://www.vbforums.com/private.php?do=trackpm

what is the datetime on your last sent message?


hmmm, it might not be listed there.
Unless you requested a read receipt.

:scratcheshead:

[Valleysboy1978]

Zuperman, I respect that you are accepting that this is not much of a problem but this could happen to someone else who needs the PM functionality.

What date you send the last successful post?

[NotLKH]

says:

Ok.
How about this.


Either:


Some mod, who has superhuman access to ALL of the database, tell us what the datetimestamp of your last PM was
OR...
You tell us who was your last successful PM to, and WE'LL contact him to tell us what that PM's datetime stamp was.


Personally, I think JPNYC would be easily able to do point #1, but He's a busy man, and perhaps we shouldn't bother him with something so trivial as your problems.

my last pm was to brad jones

<touser>brad jones</touser>

[NotLKH]

Ask him to delete it.
Welll, why stop at half measures???


Why not have JPNYC {MG! For the longest of time, I always thought it was JPynk} Just erase the DBase of every single PM you've ever done?

Shouldn't that solve things????

[zuperman]

Ask him to delete it.
i cant figure out how come this gonna be solved just because brad deletes that pm... could you explain, please...

[NotLKH]

Sorry. Just edited that post.

[zuperman]

i have already made a complete clean to all my pm inbox and outbox...

[NotLKH]

If every PM you've ever sent is deleted,
Then it should then sense that you've never sent any.

I'd think that'd solve your issue.

[NotLKH]

But the ones you've sent to...
They must also purge!

I will raise this with the admins.

[brad jones]

I deleted the 9/28/2006 message from my inbox. Not sure if that will make a difference.

If it doesn't, then let me know and I'll have a DBA take a look at the database again.

Zuperman -

Since you are having PM issues, I'll post this here....
Can you delete the PM you sent to JPinto with the titel of "portugueses"? That is the post that has messed up. We might need to see if JPinto can delete this too.

Delete that PM, then see if the timer issue goes away. Let me know.

Brad!

It says i have no Sent Items... :sick:
Sent Items contains 0 messages.

[brad jones]

thanks for trying. I'll ask for a DBA to get involved.

Brad!

Try now and see if things work.

Brad!

i believe its working now... send you a pm... please confirm...

[brad jones]

Issue is resolved.

Unless someone else ends up reporting the same issue, I'm going to call this a hiccup in the system and assume it is a one time issue. If it happen again, we know the quick fix now (which requires a DBA).

Brad!

[NotLKH]

WooHoo! Congratulations!

Now you've left me wondering if this would have resolved itself on its own in 3+ years, if you hadn't figured it out?

Yes, yes it would have. It would have kept counting down until that time.

Thx Brad... thread resolved
