Alright... question... didn't see this one addressed before...
This is definilty a BUG in the code...
I have PM 3.8 installed on 5.47d. All the file permissions are correct. I am upgrading from an older version... but I just copied over the contents of the private folder from my old version board. Changed all the private files perms to 777 just in case.
Now most of my users including myself had more than 30 PMs in there. When opening it for the first time you briefly see the privateview.cgi page then it dumps to the privatedelete.cgi with an Internal Server Error. Upon entering the PMs again it opens fine and the offending messages over 30 have been deleted.
To test this theory I also tried sending a message to myself once I am at 30. After it finished sending the message I get the same error. It pops back the privateview.cgi, then dumps me to an Internal Server Error on the privatedelete.cgi page.
The delete page appears to be working fine as I can delete messages normally any other times... from view or the message itself. And it even deletes them on the auto-delete function just fine, but it never successfully makes it back to the privateview.cgi page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty sure it's a code glitch... as this might have been one of the out there circumstances you might not have tested for. Thanks
