When I logged off last night I had over 100 messages unread in my inbox.

I logged on this morning to 80 odd.

Do messages expire after a certain time??

"When I logged off last night I had over 100 messages unread in my inbox.

Yes.

There's this info in the FAQ:

"Fab is a super busy site. Hundreds of thousands of private mails are sent every day and we have tens of millions of such messages on our system. Because we do this mostly for free, we can't keep all the messages for ever because our costs would go up and up and the site would get slower and slower. Older messages that have already been read in "dormant" accounts that haven't been logged into for a while are removed from the system. Similarly if you have loads of mails in your inbox, the system will periodically remove some of the oldest.

If some mails are important to you and you want to make sure they're not deleted, become a site supporter and save any important mails to your "saved message folder" (look for "save it" on the bottom of messages you receive) and we'll keep those mails on the system (unless we screw things up and they get deleted too; but we'll try not to!). "

Yes, this is true, however, the messages do not go, their user name just becomes 'user no longer on site'

Here because of something similar (I know it's an old thread) but it would be good if they could say - 100 messages maximum/ sent over 2 months ago.

Would love to know if anyone does know!

Private messages are all deleted when someone leaves it only says 'user no longer on site' in the forum
