Ramsesx Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Just played a bit on my test board. In my inbox folder are around 20 thousand messages from the last ten years. If I want to reach a message from the beginning or some years ago I have to scroll down maybe 500 hours. This is not well designed and should be improved. Search for messages doesn't work right also if they are older than maybe 6 months. Mass selection of searched messages should be also possible. Thanks.
ADKGamers Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I thought I remembered a more recent addition to the Marketplace here but can't seem to find it. There's this though: Which might help for the time being for you.
bfarber Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 The behavior is pretty similar to how Facebook messages works - typically users don't need to reach the beginning...they're just working with the most recent messages.

I don't use Facebook so I can't compare, but I don't see an advantage over a system with pagination. It's not really a better usability like it is now in my opinion. Just tested it on mobile,there is a pagination. So non typical users must use a mobile phone to reach older messages... A good usability should include typical and non typical user behaviors. Especially the long time members and power users, those members who are the asset of every forum are mostly "non typical" user.
ASI Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Agreed with the sentiments and have suggested before with no improvement made. @Ramsesx Have you tried the latest beta with Elastic Search enabled? Is Elastic Search activated for the Personal Message system?

ASI Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Is this EVER going to improve or not? Clearly ElasticSearch isn't enabled on PMs. And now searches are limited to only 1 year old.

Will the search in the PMs will be fixed/improved?
