Jayenkai	Inside Jay's mind : "Natedogg? What's a... ooh, it's a new user!" Hello Natedogg. (What's wrong with the PM's!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Blitz3Dman	He said he'd PM me and it's been several minutes and he noted that'd be a short one so I'm hoping that if it doesn't work for some reason he'll come here. -=-=- There are 10 kinds of people in this world - ( Insert 16 remarks about to what extent people know hex here )

Stealth	I got to admit, I am not a fan of SoCoder's PM'ing system. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.

Jayenkai	Hmm.. ok, maybe the pm's aren't the best.. bangs head on desk I'm sick of fiddling with the damn thing!! bangs head some more I'll make it so that PM's jump out, fly around the screen, then nibble at your toes until you read them. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

magicman	yeah, the PM's are a little screwy somtimes. You might consider just redoing the system completely, that might solve the problem. -=-=- Stuff... Yeah...

Jayenkai	I figured out what the PM system's issue was.. I set the "I've Read" values to default to true, so we didn't all suddenly get all our PM's set as unread when I added the new Read/Unread thing. But then forgot to change it to 0 when writing new PM's DUH!!! Anyhoo, I changed the PM mainscreen to show the last 25 PMs. Technically the unread ones should show up at the top, but if you've quite a few unread it might get a bit tangled up in there! And I also set it to show unread as bigger/bolder. So, that should help, too. Are there any more complaints about the PM system? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Phoenix	I still can't find the "New PM" button, its completely disappeared.

Jayenkai	It's really not there? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Phoenix	Oh, I missed that. However, it would be nice to have a button on the PM page.
Tue, 15 May 2007, 08:21
Jayenkai	Oh, right. Yeah, I thought about that.. If you click a "New PM" button, you then have to pick a recipient. A drop down list with every member would be a bit silly. Asking for a name would also be a bit daft, 'cos you might misspell a name, and have the PM go to the wrong person. To be honest, I've only ever clicked PM-This-Member buttons on other forums. Never a "Write a new PM" button. So, there's little PM buttons on every post that someone makes, and there's also a "Send a PM" link on each person's profile. What would be your solution for a "New PM" page? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Phoenix	I don't think it would be silly to have a list with all the members' names, but now that I know about the little button at the bottom of every post it doesn't matter anyway.
