lol, yeah. He regged in like '07 or '08. He is just really vain about it. I think he said he had an account here back in the olden days but lost his password. So it's all cool.

He does a lot of work for this site, you should take that seriously.

I certainly can't do what he does, and I doubt very many other people can.


From a usability perspective, I think it would be less confusing if the subject line column was moved further to the left in the msgbox screen, sort of like it is for PM's.  It would be more intuitive to click on the leftmost major column rather than all the way to the right.

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.
:archiebunker:


There's obviously a purpose.
Perhaps MsgBox is easier to intercept and read without knowledge or consent?
Maybe MsgBox makes it easier for Andy to delete PMs before they are read?
These are some of Andy's favorite things, so lets cut him a break.

If the interface was more like the PM system in terms of its layout and organization of tables, this whole transition would go over much more smoothly.  I think the whole idea is to reject that notion outright for the sake of pride and Andy being able to say he updated it all from scratch and replaced the design with a "better" one himself.  I hate to say it but it really does seem that way. 

No admin that gives a fuck at all about the users would do something so unnecessary that goes against the grain of such a large number of users - especially the ones that have been here for a long time.

When the messagebox was around a few months ago, a conversation looked just like a regular forum thread. Seemed to work pretty well because the forum is already set up to display threads. Redoing the visuals from scratch was not necessary IMO.

The forum look looks too bulky. If it was like that, there would be even more complaints. People want private messages to have a different feel.

They could strip it down a bit if desired (e.g. mini avatars and a skinnier bar at the top of each post) but I think it's a better starting point.

I remember there being far less complaints when it was that way, and we had the option to send regular PMs.
I can only speak for myself, but you speak for all people?

From what I have heard it is certainly true that Andy is excellent.  This fiasco, however, does not come up to that standard.  Or a good or fair standard.  It is a cock up and a nuisance.

I will give credit where it is due. I have faith that he wouldn't have been made an admin otherwise.

I just want to be able to trade again. I know he said he is working on secure stuff, but he didn't answer why they can't co-exist. At least until all the wrinkles get smoothed out of the new system.
I don't really use the pm system to chit chat. So, I don't really have a need to have threaded convos with multiple recipients. I thought the old system was perfect, and am pretty surprised to see it being thrown in the trash completely.

I see you reimplemented the old Messages system alongside.  Awesome job there Sell.  Is there a way for us to export all our messages and stuff so we don't have to worry about them later?

Look up at the top next to Message Box, there's Messages there now too.  To the right.  Maybe he just enabled it for me?  There's also a way to download a zip of all your messages.

Thanks Sell Your Soul.  You came to the rescue.

" Messages " was always there. You can read your old messages but still have to use MsgBox if you want to send a new one.
