PM labels error message

[Haibane]

Hi

I can no longer add any new messages to any of my labels. I am getting this error message:

"Sorry, 7 messages already had the maximum amount of labels allowed!"

Any ideas?

...how many labels do you have?

Labels are basically attached to the table in a text string, so if the list of labels becomes too long for the string, it can't add them to that pm. There is no feasible way around this that does not involve completely refactoring the entirety of the private message system.

I've got 62 labels. Have I hit a limit?

I tried to tidy up my label system a couple of years ago but ran into problems where I couldn't move messages between labels. If the system is okay with it, I can probably delete a few to free up room.

I don't want you to waste time on restructuring the system.

Please don't worry about this. I have deleted some labels and all is now working okay.

The limit isn't on how many labels you have, but on how many labels can be applied to a single message.

I only ever apply 1 label to any message, plus the inbox label. I have never applied more than that. After deleting several labels I no longer needed I was able to then file 7 messages into 1 label (and only 1) which was the operation I was trying to do when I got the error message.
