Due to some site problems last week, many of you have full PM boxes. Some of you are requesting correspondence, but I cannot write back to you.
Empty out your PM box.

Just noticed this. My inbox seems to have a limit of 5 messages. Surely this is incredibly restrictive?

| There were some problems with the site the other night. On the night in question, the PM boxes seemed to fill rapidly, all it took was 4 to 5 messages to fill them. |

| Maybe, but my inbox is still showing a 5 message limit. I assume the default limit is meant to be 500 messages as on MMA/PA? |

I'm having trouble too - here's my message: "You have 91 Private Messages, you can receive another -86 from a total of 5" Should I hold off on deleting for a while? ------------- We are men of action.

Because of the problems, I just keep mine empty now. Max has been notified, so maybe he will show up and fix it.

| Luckily a lot of us are also active on PA or MMA so I guess as a stopgap measure people could try using the PM systems on those sites if the person they are writing to has a full inbox here. |

My mail box level says I'm filled up to 540% of its capacity, yet I only have 27 messages left (I rehurlarly clean)... I've deleted a few, but this hasn't changed anything...
Do I have to empty it all off?? (not that there are important infos on them messages)

| They seem to fill up at about 5 messages. Max has been notified, so hopefully he can fix it. |

Test back to Slava,....
It worked (got it) but it tells me I'm indeed at 20% with that single PM
So it's really the capacity of the PM box that's the problem ------------- my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones.... |

| I just talked to Max, he says this is not an easy fix and it could be a while until he can get to it. In the meantime, if you want to get messages, just empty out the message box often and you will still get them. |

Hey John, I found you on AllAboutJazz. I'm thinking about signing up, how is the activity rate and discussion quality there?

There are lots of really knowledgeable people there, its a good place to ask questions, many members are pro musicians. Other than asking the occasional question, I don't chat much on there. For being a big popular site, there actually isn't that much talk on the forum. I noticed where some of them said that forum activity is down about 50% from a couple years ago, that might have something to do with the rise of facebook or the novelty of web forums wearing off. Most of the time I am here at JMA though, because there's always work waiting for me, ha ha, but when I am doing research on the internet, I'll often be at allaboutjazz or allmusic.

| Max says the message box problem has been fixed. Apparently the boxes had been set for a 5 message limit, but that should be changed now. |
