Private message suggestion

justinh · November 15, 2002, 08:36 AM

I suggest that you put the private message thing in a more prominent location. There are probably people who have private messages and don't know it. I know that today is the first time I checked it in a long time.

More prominent? Like in the middle of the forum listing?

IMHO there's ample opportunity to check or be notified of new PMs:

1. set popup notification
2. set email notification
3. click usercp. It's one click and you'll see new messages right away.

And if you log in through the main menu...
The bottom of the menu will tell you if you have unread messages.

Pop-up works best, even on mine and CRSam's slow backwoods connections of 11.2 and 13.7kbs.

Ya, that's right CR, I upgraded.

No longer heat the house with vacuum tube modumb.
And strung new phone wires through the trees.
