As you have it, I am quickly rewriting the site so that I can introduce new branding and migrate the site completely on the new platform and discard the old libraries.

The first major section to go is the Private Messaging system. No, it's not going away, but rather a brand new one is going to go in its place.

This thread is for everyone to discuss the new features and options they want to see from private messaging. Not everyone's suggestion will make it in; anything that seems logical and useful for everyone will be added.

PLEASE, suggest new stuff here. Once I get some suggestions, I'll begin right away. Here is a short list of what I'd like to do:

- Migrate ALL existing private messages to the new system. This means that you will not lose any messages.
- Pagination. Instead of one long list of messages, messages will be paginated.
- Sent, read, etc status. Want to know if someone read your message? The new system will allow you to figure this out!
- Threaded private messages. Original messages will act just like forum threads. You will be able to see all the replies made to a private message.
- Sent messages will be able to be viewed.

I WILL PROBABLY BE STARTING THIS MESSAGING SYSTEM TONIGHT OR TOMORROW OR WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE IT; MOST LIKELY SOON BECAUSE I AM AWESOME LIKE THAT. THIS IS NO JOKE. I WILL REWRITE IT. MAKE ME HAPPY AND POST SUGGESTIONS SO THAT I CAN GIVE CREDIT TO CSTC FOR MAKING COOL THINGS HAPPEN. IF COOL THINGS HAPPEN, MY CAPS LOCK ON MY KEYBOARD MIGHT BE FIXED AND THAT WILL BE ANOTHER COOL THING THAT HAPPENS!

Only thing I can think of would be the ability to send the same message to multiple users. This would be useful for coordinating events and meets and what not.

Only problem I see with this is spam. Fortunately though, maybe I can open this up with some sort of 'spam report' thing, and possibly only make it available for members who donate or something so that we don't have companies creating accounts and trying to pitch their product via pm.

We will see.

How about our own personal address book we can create. This will allow us to send some one a message and look up their username right in one spot Apparently my memory is not so good with keeping track of names/users. Just an idea...that's all

How about a 'bookmark users' option instead? You'd be able to use the 'bookmarked users' for PMs and other things.

Definitely a must. Fortunately, this was already in this list in my first post. You'll even be able to see if your recipient viewed that message you sent too!

How about threading private messages? Basically, they act like personal threads between two users instead of seeing a whole new private message that is just a reply to a previous private message.

I'd like to have a system that allows filtering of messages, even if it's the basic of the basic.

Let's just say for example I'm popular and getting about 100 PM's per day.

I might be expecting a PM from 1 user in particular. So my bookmarked user is filtered into a folder I've created or preset.

This would allow favorite or bookmarked users to have their own inbox in my inbox.

It doesn't have to be a folder, it can be a message that says:

user X -- 3 new messagees

How about just a search function that will let you look up any messages from a particular user? If bookmarked users are implemented, there could be 'quick links' with that user to see their latest posts, private messages (that you received), etc.

Already planned and was listed in the first post. I think my idea was close to yours.

How about a little * Or sumtin that tells you when you have subscribed to a thread and how about being able to multi quote in a thread/threads

I don't think this has anything to do with private messages which is the topic of the thread. There will be a thread in the near future for the forum rewrite, so I'll keep this suggestion in mind.

I know a lot of users keep a pretty full inbox, how about having color coded or highlighted subject lines for messages sent from a moderator/admin/sponsor/bookmarked ride to allow for quick scanning and ease of visibility?

I hadn't considered spam. Yeah, if we can get a good system in place to make sure this doesn't happen, then I think it would be good, but I don't want to open my inbox to a bunch of ads

A user directory might be helpful as well.

How bout knowing who has bookmarked you? If thats possible..




"Passion is in the blood. Desire is in the will. Prepare to be mentally strong. Till the day the earth stood still. Everyone in the world will turn. Up as they glance upon you. Everyone will witness as your weakness will burn. As you will be reborn to someone true. The passion, desire and will is all you need in life." *by me*
