"Conversation style" for the PM system

[TCWT]

It'd be so awesome if the PMs could be setup to be like a conversation, much like google's Gmail system. It's much more organized :D

Also, there should be an icon for "replied PMs". I don't know why this was left out. :(

[Rob_BCFC]

Thats a good idea.

[Coastie]

agreed.... to both

[Tomi]

Please, please, please. :lol:

I've always wanted something like this for PM's, as I hate the traditional messaging look, GMail took me over. :lol:

[TCWT]

Yeah and IPB would be the first board to have this (w00t)

:thumbsup:

[Antony]

I agree too. A forum's strength in its ability to save everything discussed, and have the points avaliable for review.

Because this is a good idea - IPB isn't likely to implement it.

damn i want this to guys it will be great

There was another excellent thread similar to this, and I simply think that both are brilliant ideas that I would like to see implemented into a future version of IPB. :)

What's that suppose to mean? :unsure:

[SpireInc]

Meaning that IPB passes up a lot of good ideas.... not sure why

Oh man, this would be PRIME !!!!!!!!

I'm so sick of 'quote chains' (like 25 nested quote tags) in PMs

(This makes it into the 'top 3 most wanted' suggestions list of mine:
#1. moderator center feature
#2. bump me up feature
#3. gmail-style PMs)

Agreed, but...why would you want #2 (I'm assuming it's a button to bump topics?) That seems like spamming made easy.

[TCWT]

Yeah, #2 can be replaced with something more major.

It's funny that this topic is brought up. I believe after it was posted (unless it was farther back), the database structure of the PM system was adjusted to handle this kind of functionality. PM's were split into two tables, one for the topic and one for the message content itself. So, as it stands right now, this should be relatively simple to do. Maybe it will actually come to fruition in 3.0? :)

Bump. Major new (2005?) feature idea! :)
