Re: bobbym's YOB

My pleasure! smile

I tried to PM you about half an hour ago but got that same message, and so I've sent MIF a PM - which went ok - asking if our PM problem (and I don't mean Australia's Prime Minister!) could be fixed.

Btw, what percentage does your 'Messages status' read now?

Are you sure you do not have hidden pm's in there?

No. I will try later. In the meantime, could you send me a PM to test?

Re: bobbym's YOB

I've replied...just posting here for stefy to see that I got your PM and have replied.

My reply:

Good morning! Got it.

stefy's "145%" has me puzzled. I thought you could only go to 100%. 100% to me means full, and 145% means fuller than full. My message status is 90%. Or does it total inbox and outbox, so that you can go up to 200%?

There are 10 messages in my outbox, which is showing 90%, and 7 messages in my inbox, which shows 90%. I've noticed that with each message sent or received the increase is 5%.

That extra 5% appears in both boxes, which after the PM I just sent both now read 95% (previously 90% for both).

Re: bobbym's YOB

The percentage is for the total of the two.

At one point, my percentage was 375%.

I would suggest, storing your important messages and deleting everything in there.

Re: bobbym's YOB

Yes, he received my reply and replied to that. To which I have now replied, and my status is now up to  115%. This is one for MIF. He hasn't responded to the PM I sent him last night, btw, so I hope he got it ok (but it's a bit soon).

Bobby replied again, and I have written back. Status now 120%. If you hear a loud bang soon from down under you'll know I've overdone it. It's been nice knowing you...wave

You will be missed! wave

By the way, I find it very eery how all the smileys of the same kind move in sync. E.g. wavewavewave

Yes, and I also wonder if they're waving all the time or only when we look at them. What about the ones just off the page?!
