How to implement new feature: 1)Prior to implementation make a thread explaining what it is and how it works. 2)Implement feature. 3)Don't screw with features that are not broken.
4)Great success.

Well, I just noticed a glitch. If you make a thread in another person's MsgBox, you are denied access if you try to access the thread via a link other than your own. So, if someone other than you makes the latest post, the "Last post" link will not work.

Yeah this does look like a cool feature, seems like the threaded format will be a lot more readable than sending a bunch of PMs back and forth with someone. Do you get a notification when someone posts in it as with PMs?

A couple minutes ago, other peoples messages didn't appear for anyone else to see, is this still the case? Or is this supposed to be how it works?

You should be able to do that with new threads you create. Obviously, threads started by other users will be private between them and the owner of the message box.

This is a private message box, between the owner and the user who starts new threads. No one else can view the messages.
By contrast, journals are public by default, open to anyone who wants to view them.

It's a forum-style version of the PM system we have now. Eventually, we're going to switch over to this new system, and close out the current PM system.

If you're closing it out does this mean the secure pm'ing, encryption, passphrase key etc... will also be phased out? Or will you be incorporating it in the new system?

Not at all.
We're going to use Secure PM encryption with the new system. You will also be able to forward secure PM's to other users, which you cannot do with the current PM system.
I'm also going to expand it so you can have multiple users participating in a single thread, so it will give you mail-list type functionality.

I think they mean that they want to keep the current PM system. Opt out of the new system.

It's not like I don't want to learn something new, but this is a pretty dumb system even for Andy, I suspect some other idiot requested this and made him put his nose to the grindstone. What a waste of time for one of the few admins who actually code the site / do things.

This new system is going to replace the old system entirely. It works the same as the journals, except for the modes of privacy. Why would you want to stick to an outdated system?

Personally I think the current system sucks for long conversations. Either you have a bazillion nested quotes, or you skip the quotes and have to go back to your inbox to see what was said earlier.

Nothing was broken IMHO. it worked fine.
You've always been one to be a mover and shaker, maybe even a shark jumper. I appreciate your commitment and enthusiasm though.

The current system is buggy. Too much quoting in replies, can't do attachments, can't forward secure pm's, etc. This new system will have many advantages over the current one.
When is it going to be official? Once all the bugs are ironed out and the features are properly in place.

Maybe give some time before disabling it for those of us who haven't downloaded our PMs yet.

It will remain in place for you to download your PM's, but you won't be able to receive new PM's with it once this new system is official.
