PM per hour limit.
« on: 24 October 2012, 21:19:53 »

Without wishing to cause,aggro,hassle or a 20 page thread of argument on the subject - is there any chance the limit could be raised a bit ?
I have hit the limiter four or five times tonight and currently have several PM,s I cant reply to - including one from an admin.
Im a technoretard so know nothing about the reasons or how much effort may be involved in changing it,but it is frustrating at times. :-\

Funnily enough, before I got sidetracked on discussing my big ego with a disgruntled member, I started typing a post about how many PMs were flying through the system (noticed due to the email notifier going mental). 31 members online, 9 at that moment sending PMs.  I'm amazed at the numbers being sent, and surprised the system can cope as well as it does...  ...but then I knew it would, my over inflated ego told me ;D


Right, we are having some server capacity problems, but there are some upgrades happening over the next couple of weeks. After that, once we have another baseline (basically, know/understand how/why its performing), we can look again at modest increases (though will probably happen a 1 extra PM per hour type thing).

2 things we potentially could do are:
Restrict the number of emails the system can send per minute (reducing the processing overhead for a given timespan, but potentially creating long queues for the email notification system)
Reduce the size of PM inboxes (reducing the processing overhead for the database, as the database will dramatically shrink)


I do know any limits are frustrating, and am embarrassed we're unable to provide a (stable) system without such limits  :-[

Some notifications are quite delayed, if there is any relevance there?

Sometimes instant, sometimes 24hours or more.

Some are queuing back, but no way should it be that long, unless your mail server is not responding, in which case, we store and hold the email for a few hours, before retrying.

I'd say realistically, 20 mins is about the max delay we should currently see...  ...although my notifications are getting dropped somewhere (hence why I was checking it earlier).

Anyone else not getting notifications, or severely delayed?

Some do ping in, as I check the inbox. Usually ones for pm's I had already read the day before.

Mobile or over wifi, makes no odds afaict. :-\
