is there any way to make the PM system so that instead of creating a new message for each reply, (which copies the previous reply, and adds it on, and some people like it that way) because some of these messages become redundant, and add quite a bit to the space. if it was like the general ubb posting method, where there is one thread, and replies are added onto that same one, it would solve that problem. and if users wanted to create a new topic, ofcourse that would be separate. but this would cut down and the space usage a lot! we've seen that our users like to keep replying to the same thread, instead of creating a new message for each reply. but instead, having one "topic" and with replies being added like ubb, it'd be one topic, that gets added onto, saved, deleted, or whatever. though i'm not sure completely how you'd implement it, as each user has a separate messages database. (currently we're running 30+MB per user, as they almost seem to "chat" using pm) so it is quite the cause for concern.
thanks a lot, and you guys have really done a great job with PM! thankyou.
