Hi,
I think most of us are aware that the private message system limits you to 1 message per 1 minute period. I can understand that - it's not a free email service!
But if I have 4 or 5 message waiting to be answered, the limit should not apply IMHO. it's pretty frustrating if all you want to do is reply to somebody else's message you have to wait between each reply.
Makes sense?

Jan:
I agree 100%.
Not only that, but if you do try to reply sooner than at 1 minute interval, the timer 're-sets' to zero .....
It's definitely a penalty for those who can 'type' (quickly) on a keyboard with more than two fingers!
I thought the 1 minute rule was some sort of spam prevention thing, not a barrier to email communication?? A lot of users seem unwilling to move a 'conversation' to their private email, depending instead on the message system here.
When large image files are allowed for upload and download, I can't imagine that text email can be much of a strain on the bandwidth or storage of the system.
Pano, that would mean it should be no problem to lift the delay when replying to previously received messages in one's inbox.

ok. thanks. I have already donated recently to get 200PM's. what i would like to know is, whether additional donation would lead to increase in PM over and above existing 200 limit?
The prompt attention from the administrator(s) to the requests above (attachment to PM reply, timeout on replies, etc) definitely inspires me to donate more to diyaudio.
Just did the donation, it didnt increase my PM limit nor the duration of privilege..
Does it take some time reflect in my account?
It isn't clear to me whether 'topping up' my donation (say, with another $10) would 'boost' me to the $20 level, or whether I'd need to make a 'fresh' donation at the higher level to get the benefits.
I interpreted your question as addressing this point, but I may have read it incorrectly.
