[SOLVED] Where can users view their private message quota? - schnappi - 2014-01-27
Hi,
Where can forum users view their private message quota? Even with a quota enabled I can't seem to find where the quota is listed to a user.

When I click on Private Messages it shows the percentage of PM space used at the top.

Could you post a screenshot? Can't see this in our forum. I am wondering if it is due to our theme.

IIRC, administrators are exempt from PM quotas. Try logging in as an regular user?
This is a screenshot I found from MyBB 1.2 but it's exactly the same as 1.6.

^^ Admins and those who have PM Quota set to unlimited can't view the bar.

Ah that would explain. Have been logged in as an admin. But had set admin's to have same private message quota as everyone else.
Even if admin's cannot view the bar is the quota still enforced?

Script says:
if($mybb->usergroup['pmquota'] != '0' && $mybb->usergroup['cancp'] != 1)
Means if the usergroup doesn't have unlimited quota as well as can't access ACP (means non-admins) then only the bar will be displayed. So I guess even if you set quota for admin group the bar will not be displayed to admins because the second condition is always false for admins.

So I would assume the limit would still be enforced. Would you agree?

There's no limit for administrators.

Don't know why you assume that. If the condition is always false for admins they are obviously always out of the restriction.
Edit: ^^ Oops Nathan :p
