Well this is a new one on this forum for me

[Letti0]

@Lizzie Is there a limit on how many private messages I can send from this forum? Well oboviously there is lol, what is it the limit? Is it daily, weekly, monthly? I get a lot of messages for help or about my meetup for San Antonio & Austin and reply, but have not been able to reply to the last few I've gotten. I get a message I've reached my limit. I know, I talk too much and probably deserve this ;D

Hello @Letti0,

Hmm...this is strange. Can I check if you have sent a large amount of messages to the same person today? Is this message showing for everyone you send messages to?

[Letti0]

@Lizzie  I sent Patrick a few before it started then I could not message him again when he sent me another message. Robert haven't sent one to him in a while he sent me one this morning and I couldn't reply. The last few messages I've tried to send since Friday had this displayed. Haven't been able to send any messages I get an Oops message (see below) or I have reached limit message (other screen shot).

Hello @Letti0,

It doesn't sound as though you have sent a large quantity of messages to the same person and even if this was the case, as I understand it if you gave it a rest over the weekend, this should have refreshed certainly by today. (If you send a large quantity of the same message to the same person over a short amount of time, the system may cap you to prevent spam like activity – however this doesn't sounds the case for the amount you have been sending). 

I wonder, is anyone else experiencing this when sending direct messages here in the CC? 

If you can try tomorrow sending another message, perhaps to a different person and report back that would be really useful. 

Thanks for letting me know and speak to you soon.

Hi @Lizzie ,

I don't think anyone else is experiencing this problem bc

noone else is writing as much as @Letti0 does.

Letitia is the typing queen on the english community center,

and I am the being deleted queen on the german CC.

Thanks @Ute42, I am pleased to see that it is more of an isolated issue, I am sure we will get this sorted and Letitia will be back up and running on DMs very shortly. 🙂

I hope you are good, Ute.

@Lizzie  I was able to send a test response to @Ute42 and it went through. I still can't message Robert get the Oops message still. 

[Lizzie]

Okie dokie, thanks @Letti0, I'm going to look into this a bit to see if I can see why this is happening, at least it isn't happening to everyone you speak to, but it could be a number of different things. 

In the meantime, if it isn't a fast fix, I know you are trying to plan your meetup, so if you need my help in anyway, just let me know. 🙂

[Letti0]

@Lizzie  I just found a work around. I went to Roberts profile and I was able to send a new message to him. I just can't use the old message anymore. It seems to have only happened with the two that had more messages back and forth than usual.

[Lizzie]

Ah, very interesting. Well this is a great workaround and certainly something to keep in mind if using the same reply everytime. I will still mention it to our tech team. In this case, it would be nice to have to at least change the prompt error message to provide a little more information on what to do. 🙂 

Thanks @Letti0 for highlighting this and I'm pleased to can resume your conversation. 

[Lizzie]

Plus, thank you @Ute42 for helping with testing this out. 🙂

@Ute42I didn't know that there's a German community centre. I'm polishing up my German: I will go check it out.

@Ute42 Vielen dank! Ich arbeite für eine Deutsche Firma und besuchte eine Waldorfschule: mein Deutsch sollte besser sein!
