• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I hadn't noticed but yes, all are except for one.
Wow, I hadn't noticed either, but yep I seem to have duplicate imports as well. Most of my messages are more than one, so unless I look at the times, it was easy to miss the doubles.

ETfix: What I mean is most of the time I use the message feature, it involves several messages back and forth with the same subject, so easy to overlook duplicates.

Thanks! I am not sure why this would be the case but all things considered, if there was going to be an import issue, I am glad it was PMs and I am even more glad that it was TOO MUCH data as opposed to not enough. :)

I am not sure if there is a solution at this point but I will see what vBulletin support has to say.

Thanks!


John

Yes I see doubles too. The only bad thing other than having to go through and delete them is that there is a limit on how many pm's you can keep. I already got a bounced pm from I think Rianna who's pm box was full.
Very good point, duplicates in the mailbox would essentially halve the number of message one may keep.

You should not be having that particular problem any more. I upped the vBulletin maximum number of stored PMs from the default of 50 to 1000 early last week. Even with them doubling, that would mean they had over 500 store PMs. Possible I guess?
