pmmsn | | Re: Private Conversations (8th Apr 08 at 9:40pm EDT) | | i have to say i really find the new system confusing and when you implement i would suggest making it the admins option to use the new pm system, because i find it to confusing and not many of muy members will like it...
Reverting back to the old system as well as the new one would put a great amount of strain on the server, and would pretty much downtrot the system Ross has worked quite hard on these past few weeks. 
If members have trouble with it, they need simply ask for help.  | |

I feel this technology is worth the learning curve.
Simple as that.

pmmsn | | Re: Private Conversations (8th Apr 08 at 10:54pm EDT) | | Been meaning to take a look at this myself, but only have a moment of free time right now.
How does this change affect the PM "Ignore List" ? Will users receive an error stating "User X cannot be added due the conversation due to Ignore List contradictions with another user in this conversation." or has the list been trashed, so to speak?

pmwwwmsngtalk vForum | | Re: Private Conversations (9th Apr 08 at 4:21am EDT) | | This change is being implemented based on user suggestions. And one of the things users wanted to see was to have messages acting more like topics so you can keep track of all replies. Obviously it's not possible to implement a change that everyone will love, but this is something the majority of users will find useful. Before the system is launched to all forums a FAQ will be posted detailing the changes and how the new system works.

I'll need to double check this, but I believe that users on your ignore list can participate in the same conversations as you. However only via a 3rd person. So for example, Bob and James are having a conversation. Bob is on Sams ignore list. So Bob cannot invite Sam into the conversation. However James can invite Sam. | |

pmmsnyahooaim | | Re: Private Conversations (9th Apr 08 at 10:54am EDT) | | | @Ross i mean like the buttons and everything are confusing, couldn't you have normal messages allowed as well or at least keep the buttons the same, really thats whats annoying trying to figure out what the hell does what, like it took me a bit to finf the delete button, other then minor stuff like that is a great setup. | |

The very first time you went to a forum, you were surely confused about what does what and where to go. Rather than asking the owners to change their system, you went ahead and became familiar with it. I see this as the same principle; a well-known system has been upgraded, so we should take the time to learn how to use it.
And as Ross said, there will be an FAQ posted for it detailing how each new feature works. 
Oh, but Ross, can we has option to sort by either time created or last reply? | |

pm | | Re: Private Conversations (9th Apr 08 at 5:52pm EDT) | | Very very unique from the PM system that most forum have. It might take awhile for some members to get used to it though.
Good job Ross! | |
