The New U2U system, and access to your old messages.

I have to say I do like how quick it sends them, the last few weeks it would take upto a minute for them to be sent.

Thank you for giving us access to our old messages.

has the outbox archive vanished? this might be a way of recovering some members missing u2us if a person replied and the original content was still there.

Although I lost all my old messages , I'm very happy we have the u2us back.

Thanks for all your work on this SO !!!!!!!

Is it true that the new system deletes messages that are over 45 days old ?

Is there anything that lets you keep them longer, maybe buy extra time for certain u2u's with points ?

First let me say thank you for keeping the old U2Us past Sept. 1st.

Just a quick question.
I'm looking at the new U2U page and I don't see the U2U count anymore.
It used to say: you have so many U2Us left before you have to buy more at the store.
That count has disappeared and it seems I have unlimited U2Us, but that can't be right?

U2Us now do not have a limit in volume, just in "age".

U2Us with more than 45 days (if I am not mistaken) will be deleted.

Ok you know how you go to the shop to buy more U2U quota?
Well it doesn't run out any more, you see where I'm going?
There's basically no need to buy more U2Us ever again.

Yes, the "Add 100 to U2U quota" option on the "store" should be removed, as it is people may be spending their points in something that does not exist any more.

Thank you sooo much. That's what was getting me confused. It doesn't take much.

Yeah, ArMap....now many of us feel a little silly for 'spending' points, in the past, for extra U2U quotas...but, the new system is pretty fair, methinks.

And what do I need points for anyway? 'Status'?? I have negative BTS points because I bought U2U space...I hardly ever visit BTS....actually, just discovered it.....so, go figure?

Hey, I have a small issue with my u2us.

The u2u light is on but I have no new u2us in my inbox.

That happened to me a lot of times before, with this new system I haven't seen it yet.

The only way to cure it is to save or, if that does not work, remove all messages.

This is one of several bugs that have never been corrected, I even found one (maybe two years ago) that is potentially destructive but that is still not corrected.

armap, can you send me a u2u to see if it it clears the light when i delete it.

reply to post by ArMaP


Ok, it didn't work. But I deleted my entire outbox and saved my entire inbox and it cleared the light.
Thanks ArMaP.

Thank you so much for this thread. I'm good, thank goodness. Please continue keeping us up to date and informed.
