Coastie Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 It would be really nice to replace the quote after quote after quote in the current PM system, with the standard forum layout of replies. It would save room in the DB buy not keeping 2 copies (1 per user) and all the additional quotes. Just have an ongoing list, just like a normal topic. When both users have chosen to delete the topic, it could be removed from the DB Something would need to be done for multiple recipients, but I'm sure IPS could take care of that in an efficient way.
TCWT Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 it's actually one of my requests on this topic I have more suggestions for the PM system there! :D
Management Charles Posted September 23, 2006 Management Posted September 23, 2006 Ironically the PM system was the topic of conversation in our offices yesterday. We have some plans to improve it for a future version.
TCWT Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Cool, it's one of the most neglected parts of the board.
Management Charles Posted September 23, 2006 Management Posted September 23, 2006 Yeah we kind of agree lol
Management Charles Posted September 23, 2006 Management Posted September 23, 2006 I want a Gmail alike PM system.I really doubt that will happen :)
gel Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 You can copy some features from it. like show read, unread, star a message, search in pms... Just some ideas.
Mark Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Charles, when you say a "future release", do you mean 2.2Bx or 2.2.x or 2.x or 3.x or what?
Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Charles, when you say a "future release", do you mean 2.2Bx or 2.2.x or 2.x or 3.x or what?I'd expect not to see it in 2.2, as it is essentially feature complete now. Can't say I know what the next major release will be though. :)
Management Charles Posted September 23, 2006 Management Posted September 23, 2006 I would say it will be in the next major release though I can't say when and what that will be.
Amirsan Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I also like this idea, much more clean and easy.
Sinistra Sensei Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Yeah it is time for a user CP overhaul all together PM system will be nce for a change
TCWT Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I really doubt that will happen :)that's the only way the PM system will differentiate from other boards. :P ;)
TCWT Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Will the PM system get a major overhaul for 3.0 as some have hinted?
