I PM'd Gail with no problem and got a reply.
I PM'd Ninja and the same error that Gail just posted.

Thanx.

@Steve, when do you plan to re-raise the limits? AFAIK she's not the only one who can't PM anymore because her box is full (assuming it's the case here).
Mine's not full (166/200). Error said that yours is, or you have PMs disabled.
Weird, I got pms just last week and I have only 97 messages in my inbox.
PMs are enabled as far as I can tell.
How many in sent/deleted? The total is what counts against the 200 max.
I guess that's the problem. Hopefully Steve can do something about this...

A nice feature to have would be to attach favorite mail client to the SSC mailbox and be able to download/archive any PMs we wish to save.:cool:

My dear friends, I finally have the definitive answer to the question that originated this thread.
NO!
They're not getting worse! This is what they kept getting until today. Now they can only get better.

So that's what rock bottom looks like?
Yup! Makes that guy wondering why access and sql server's "default order by" are different look like an expert.
And I thought my post were getting worst!
Between the 2 of them, if noone else was available to come in for help. Who would you hire (no you can't NOT hire)?
I rest my case 😉

The order-by guy. He seemed to be able to learn.

Exactly my point. He had knowledge on the topic, even if misinformed and he was eager to learn more. I can always work with someone like that.

The only people I can't stand are the know it alls that just won't listen / change their mind even if your prove them wrong without a shadow of a doubt.

Pass the word. I'm not stumping for any candidate, but you can certainly spread the word with blog, twitter, LinkedIn, etc. to get people to vote.
