Private Messaging

Hello people

,

Was wondering if you guys can reduce the Private Message waiting time from 90 to like 40 or 30 secs.

Reason being and I believe I speak for everyone that 90 secs is too long, I pm someone then get a pm from a different member and try to pm the person but I have to wait then I do something else and forget about it.

Is it possible?

This is a pretty good idea, but i think it will just add more stress on the website, right?

Maybe we can make up for it in other areas like in searching or general posts?

30 sec is a good idea

Lowering the pm timeout will prob increase the number of haxx0rs sending the whole forum a pm every few days with a virus link (as can be found on SAU/Boostcruising/CrxAus etc etc)

No good

That's pretty much the main reason.

In fact this was brought up last year and I dropped it to 60 seconds. Not long after we got some SPAM PM advertisers who abused it and it went back up to 90 seconds.

Anyways I have moved it down to 60 seconds given that most users can only PM one person at a time. However if we get abuse again I will have to move it up to 90 seconds..
