Is there a way I can send out one private message to all the site members? I'd like to do this without lots of work since the site has thousands of members. Thanks

First of all i would like to thank you for your input on this matter.RadioHead wrote:Hi,
I hate to contradict the staff, however they haven't given a 100% correct answer.
You can send up to 50 individual members by selecting them in the name boxes, however when u send it, it will sent in your "Sent" box until the member logs in. It does not matter if this number exceeds 50, as it will be stored the receiver's box, and and messages you send just over rides it.
Example
- Spoiler:
sent box has 50 messages
You send another 60 messages (total 110 msgs)
20 members login, they then leave ur sent box.
sent box now has 30 messages. (They are over ridden when u send more then the capacity)
The remainder is still in the receivers box but not yoursWhen you send a message to a group, you can send to all members of this group, same thing will happen as above, you wont have to select a single member, only a single group.
- Spoiler:
You send 50 individual messages to member 1-50
Their in your sent box.
You then send another 20 individual messages to members 51-71
messages from member 1-20 will be removed from sent box but still stored in the receivers inbox
You can only send to 1 group at a time.
You will not receive an error of any sort if the group has excess of 50 members, I do not know where Derri has got that information from.
For as long as i have been on this forum as far as i know the comment you made about 50 pm's was right as no one of what i have seen has ever asked the staff in the head office about this. maybe this is the next thing to ask buttercup to find the info to from our tech staffDerri wrote:I got my info from the logic of the outbox. When I send something to someone it sits my outbox until they read it. So I assumed that you could only send 50 messages at one time before someone has read them. Because when I send a message until that person reads my message it seemed to sit in my outbox. For example I did a test quite sometime ago where I sent a message to my other account on that forum, logged in, got saw that I had a message, logged out, when onto the account where I had sent the message, looked in my outbox and it was still in my outbox.
I personally don't care if I'm wrong and I was glad I was correcte, but that's where I got my logic from.
