Private Messaging

Very nice implementation on the private messaging feature, with one small issue I came across, and one small feature request.

Issue:
You have listed a group name, it should be folder name as that is what it is, a folder to store messages.

Idea:
With the folders being named group I had thought it would be a group of individuals I could send a broadcast PM out to. Something like a list I could pick and choose members to receive the PM on a regular basis, kind of like an e-mail subscription list but contained within the private messaging solution of the forum.

Either way, it' s still a great feature added to a reat forum.

Yes, I will add a fix to the language file.

For sending to a group of individuals, please go to address book and " check all" members => hit send private message

Thanks for your comment

Samuel,

An enhancement request for the Private Message area... would you please consider adding ' next' and ' previous' buttons when viewing a private message (and my apologies if this has been added in a recent release... we' re a couple releases behind at the moment).

thanks

Hi Pete,

would you like to get a copy of the new version? As you know beginning 1.55.15 we support group title and custom title + ranking system + alternate color on row instead of column that you looked for for a long time (so you don' t need to hack the board anymore). Just let me know and I will send you the two required files.

And next + prev button is not there yet. I will think about adding them into the next version (don' t you think the pm interface looks kind of busy already?)

Where is the private messaging?

It is in your profile. Click on my profile and then you will see Inbox. that' s where Private messaging is located. You can add a link to pm.asp in your header to make the inbox more accessible.
