i will not wait that long... thats for sure...
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...
no can do...

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.
same problem when replying to your test pmQuote:

Perhaps JPnyc will see this in the morning and be able to add some insight.
Gotta go its really late.
many thx...:thumb:Quote:

done that... same problem...
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?Quote:

But it's not your fault. :)
good... i feel more releafe, now...:bigyello:Quote:

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...
Its only about 7.4 years until you can PM anyone again. :(
I'm sure Joe will take a look at this on Monday.
7.4 years... i will not live that long... :eek:Quote:

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..Quote:

no can do... i tested in another WINXPSP2 box, with FF and IE6... same problem... must be an account specific problem...
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!
No, that should be uniform for all. That's in the posts/threads table. Don't even think there's a setting governing it.
hey... thats not a problem if this is happening only with me... i dont use pm that much... no prob...
zuperman, did you get the last pm with my email addy?
yes... thx for your care...:thumb:Quote:

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?

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:
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?

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.
:wave:

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????
i cant figure out how come this gonna be solved just because brad deletes that pm... could you explain, please...Quote:

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.
But the ones you've sent to...Quote:

I will raise this with the admins.
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.
Brad
it doesnt...

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:Quote:

Brad!
zuperman -

Brad!

Brad!
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.Quote:
