Mod Name / Version: Private Message Inbox Status <br /> <br />Description: Yes I almost feel silly posting this...it is a no-frills and no-big-deal little snippet of code. This really is nothing special, but someone besides myself might find it useful for busy forums using 6.5's new "max # of private messages allowed" setting. <br /> <br />What this does is add a percent used amount under the Header, ie: <br /> <br /> [:"blue"]Viewing your received messages <br />Your inbox is at 4% capacity (50 total private messages allowed).

Thanx Medar <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

no frills - but still very cool! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Thanks!

Its great, although I think it would be more useful on the myhome page, and if the user's mailbox is full a big red "its full" type alert...

You might also want to update the instructions, as the language files update isnt so clear.<br /><br />Should actually be<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['cap1'] = "Your inbox is at ";<br />$ubbt_lang['cap2'] = "capacity (";<br />$ubbt_lang['cap3'] = "total private messages allowed).";

Thank you Medar, I installed this and works perfectly.<br /><img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[/]<br />Actually Matt - that alert is built in, and that is why I did not touch the myhome.tmpl file. This was more of a quick way to see where you are BEFORE you are full up.<br /><br />I did update this to include better language instructions, thanks!

Kristie, did you add those to your language file, or somewhere else?

to the language file

This is wonderful, Medar... thanks!!!! <br /> <br />[]Medar said: <br />Kristie, did you add those to your language file, or somewhere else? [/] <br />I actually downloaded the language file directly and added it rather than going through the admin console... although, in both cases, I imagine it will work. Just quicker when I download, edit, and re-ftp. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />[:"brown"]By the way, how do I reduce the number of digits after the decimal point to two instead the endless number that shows up???
