This hack will be great for the Arcade mod - Most members never delete their old challenge pms-

Hello GenSec
Before install hack
Private Messages: 2 Unread, Total 280.
After installed hack:
The same numbers: Private Messages: 2 Unread, Total 280.
But I have now only 5 PMs:).
How fix it ?

Run the cron job :)

I run it.
It is deleted PMs but the PM numbers count in Nav Bar not change :)!!
Do you see?:)

Regards

This is great!.......Can't wait for more cron jobs to become available for download...

Thanks!

if I PM a user and they dont logon on within the 30 days the PM is wiped off the server as the hack states. However when they logon the navbar states they have a message. When you go to inbox it says it is empty.

Whats worse is there is no way to delete it out of there?

Im a newbie but it almost looks like the PM is getting deleted however the 'messageread' table in db isnt being effected. This only happens when a user does not view the message within the 30 days. If I read a PM and leave in inbox it deletes with no problems.

Anyone having similar problem or has a solution?
