Brand New Feature - Private Message Folders

[chickygirl2]

Does this free up our message space to receive pms or is this still the same since the messages are now in another folder? Thanks !

Same amount of space, you just have them arranged differently.
So if your box is full, it will still be full if all messages are in folders.
Make sense?

I love this website but....any chance of adding more storage space for PMs?

I don't understand why members like this so much. How does it benefit?

It lets you organize your messages so you can find important ones more easily later. If you always delete your messages it's useless, but if you ever want to save some it's great.

Can you do this for picture/storage? I would be really interested in that.

It's on the list of suggestions and might move over to the "todo" list at some point.

Well, I don't think it's a big secret that folders for our uploaded pics is in my top three on my wish list, but I certainly understand that there are other priorities. (Maybe it could at least be moved over to the bottom of the todo list???)

In the interim until that day, is there anything you could suggest (tech wise) to help us manage/find our uploads any easier? I'm only at 33% of my available upload space, but I already have 13 pages (with 20 pics per page) to go thru when looking for a particular image.

The only thing I've been able to think of is to delete them all, rename them on my computer, re-upload them, and then view as a list sorted alphabetically - but then I wouldn't be able to see the thumbnails.

Would it be difficult (tech wise) to maybe at least show more of our uploads per page so that we can find pics faster? I know we have the option of how many posts per page we can view - could something like that be adapted to the uploads? Does everyone only view 20 images per page - or is it just my browser settings? (I'm just kind of grasping at straws here!)

You hit on exactly what I do, which is make sure the image name is very descriptive, then I "show as list" and then CTRL+F to find text within that list.

Yup, lots of room for improvement, but we also want to balance our work so we're not trying to turn BYC into a full blown competitor to flikr, photobucket, etc.
