New mailbox PM limit. What happened?

[Kaoru]

Hi Hamish-san,

I got an e-mail today telling me my box was full and that someone tried to PM me. But, I only had 32 messages in it, and the limit had been 40 or 50. Think it was 50, because I had more than 40 when I got my box back. Haven't finished cleaning it yet...) But, since the PM's came back, the new limit is 20.(I had thought that was just error.) Why is that? Can that be fixed?

Thanks in advance!

KaoruNot to answer for Hamish-san, but I'd imagine they are trying to conserve server space. They would also probably appreciate anything we could do to conserve bandwidth, I noticed that the site was down for some hours with the dreaded "bandwidth limit exceeded" message from their service provider.

BTW KW Guys: Have you ever considered making KW an online magazine and charging for the access subscription? I'd sign up for that if the annual cost was roughly the same as the magazine.

I have GOT to subscribe to KW right after the holiday financial disaster is past to help them out.

Hi Hunter-san,

Thank you very much. I didn't think of that aspect. You're probably right. Hai, I did notice the bandwidth problem the same day also. Ok, stupid question... What exactly is bandwidth? I thought it was just that too many people were logging in or something. :confused:
