messagebox is not a suitable replacement for private messages. * 8
    #18653769 -

Can we please get some response from someone other than Sell Your Soul about this system?  Or should we just get used to this because nobody really cares what we think?

Well since I'm the one working on it, you'll have to settle for my response, which is currently that I'm working on it, and invite you to PM me with your suggestions.

Thanks! :super:

Why fix something that isn't broken?

Because the original message system wasn't threaded and didn't allow multiple recipients.

This system is stupid and clunky and just a poor idea if it's going to replace the traditional PM system like it already has now. Wasn't MsgBox already there already? Anyway, why do away with something that works fine to replace it with something the vast majority didn't even want that is full of bugs and just functions poorly inherently? Did anyone even ask for this, or is it just another one of the random projects which you start and then aren't able to fix?

I don't like anything about "MsgBox", from it's layout on up. It's silly and is like throwing away all the kitchen knives for some homemade "electric chopping box" which you made out of salvaged machine parts and filed scrap metal strips in your basement. It serves no advantage, and I wish you would stop trying to replace the features of this site with terrible hair-brain projects.


I also like how you said to "PM" you suggestions, as that's impossible since PM's are currently down in favor of "MsgBox", as you already know. Do you mean "MsgBox" you? You are never even able to fix the bugs you're pm'ed about in your own projects anyway.

:lol:


yeah, I don't like "msgbox." It's more difficult to use. I just unwittingly tried using it, and didn't understand why I couldn't send my message. Apparently, there's an extra step in there to send the message.. I don't like the layout either.

Why does a private message system need to do either of those things?
Can I even send encrypted messages any more? Why are you taking out the best feature of PMs and replacing it with 2 that do not make any sense?

Perfectly said, right down to the Bunker.  The old PM system was great, and this just seems like a hunk of garbage Andy is forcing down our throats to make it look like he's doing something as an admin. 

I'm gonna start pushing Eris to come an clean up at least some of this mess.

the multiple recipient boxes in the message are hard to read, and doesn't list all the names. what if i want to delete people as a thread goes on...and really, this is not a PM at all, but another thread.


seriously, why is this considered a better option?

I honestly tried to go with the whole Msg box thing, but I don't like not being able to have the choice to send a regular PM, lol. I try and it takes me right to the Msg box setting.

Its weird, now.

I like the idea of the message box (threaded PMs) but the earlier implementation where it looked like a normal forum thread looked much better. The new version loos like it's designed for a phone or something.

Seems to be working fine, if a little bit more obtuse than the old :pm: system due to its current state.
Once it's integrated fully I think it'll be hardly any different than the old messaging.

As for how "difficult" I'm hearing it is to use; I really don't know what to tell you. While a bit clunky compared to the old :pm:, in my current highly inebriated state it took me all of ten seconds to figure out how to use it. Maybe some folks should consider leaving the internet for awhile if this is really a huge deal.

I think perhaps with some more thought to design with regards to the layouts of the tables and a bit of formatting, it can become an improvement on the existing PM system.  It's not that the new setup is difficult to understand as much as it is just radically different from what some of us having been using for nigh on a decade or more.
