I think some just prefer the current/old style of PMs to this new alternative.

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Why would you want to stick to an outdated system?

Everyone's opinions count.
I'm just trying to understand why you wouldn't want a forum-style private message 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.

I think it's great.

I think people are to closed minded about "change".

You can't please all of the people all of the time.

Keep up the good work

So you guys don't want to have private messages?

I would like them as they were/are.

So what's wrong with the way they are/were?

Or why not just keep messages and msgbox as two different features?

I like the old way too. If the new way is definitely going to be taking over for the current system, any idea of when that would go down?

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.
