    When liking a post

    If the person you are liking has a full messagebox / mailbox - the following pop-up alert appears

    Click a Button
    Error Saving Click: Can not send message. User cojak has exceeded their private message quota.

    It also means you can like a post multiple times (as I did while working out exactly what was going on).

    Post (for reference) is https://forums.contractoruk.com/acco...ml#post2916931 but this is now true of any like / thanks you give Cojak.

        Yes, it's best to only like posts by people that nobody wants to talk to

        I'm going to end up completely re-implementing the thanks/likes system at this rate, but then again, it needs it

          I need to dig into the rep stuff to see why it was causing problems, though I suspect it may be fairly easy to resolve once I've implemented the fix for the likes/thanks-on-long-threads problem.

          Not sure about the birthday message; I got one last year, but my birthday isn't until April so I'll have to wait until then to check again

          But I'll also check the system that sends out forum emails, and see if admin is aware of anything that might have stopped it working. It's possible there's been a config issue with that, or something along those lines.

            (I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned before, but I've checked the last 6 months worth of posts in this thread and couldn't see it.)

            If I look at one of LadyMuck's posts, the stats currently look like this:

            Posts:18583
            Thanks (Given): 2,956
            Thanks (Received): 4,577
            Likes (Given): 41,981
            Likes (Received): 21,515

            I.e. the "thanks given/received" and "likes given/received" all use a comma for formatting, whereas the post count doesn't. It's not a big deal, but I'm surprised that the forum code doesn't use the same formatting function for all of them.

            (I picked LadyMuck as an example, but this applies to anyone where those quantities have exceeded 999.)

              The thanks/likes stuff is done by a third party plugin, hence the difference. Good catch - I'll see about tidying that up

                When someones mailbox is so full that you can't like or thank their posts you also can't PM them.

                I suspect that is for reasons outside her control because it's something she used to be on top of.

                - edit if Cojak sees it wasn't really important more some sarcasm attached to a bit of "gossip".

                  Why I am getting an error on message quota when trying to send a DM?

                  this site can be bloody frustrating at times.

                  He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

                  I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                    Who are you sending a PM to? Cojak has a completely full mailbox as discussed above.

                      As eek suggests, if the intended recipient has a full inbox, it'll give you an error. Quite annoying that it doesn't do that before you've gone to the trouble of composing it, as it's already using an Ajax call to confirm the recipient name, I think. I might be able to piggyback something onto that API to give a warning a bit earlier in the process

                      Though if it was a warning about your message quota rather than the recipient's, maybe it's got a problem with saving to your "sent messages". I'll have to have a look at that, as I wouldn't be hugely surprised if they'd failed to consider that case too
