The new Mailing List Feature.
    #9019208 -

Alright I'm liking it, though sometimes it seems a bit too complicated than it has to be (such as people having to accept the invitation).  Can we have a button to re-invite a member who missed the invitation or whatever?

Also, how do we display the list to people?  Is it visible to those who have joined?  I want people who aren't sure if they're members to be able to see the list and ask to be added (if that makes sense).  Any suggestions on using this new feature?  I know it's probably loaded with awesomeness once you get it down.

Perhaps make a different type of mailing list (for sending a single PM off to multiple recipients using say nickname1; nickname2; nickname3; etc) similar to that of an email program?  Well peace.  :smile:

I hope once you've used it a bit you find it helpful, and I do know what you mean about it being complicated. Unfortunately, an opt-in system is required to prevent spam, and it will always have more of a learning curve than if you could just paste multiple names into the recipient field of a PM. But please note, invitations are only required if you specify your mailing list is invite-only. If your list is open to everyone, you never need to send an invite (although it's still an option so you can share your list easily).

I could probably add that, but if you aren't aware, the user can also just go to http://www.shroomery.org/forums/pmlists.php, find your list and click 'accept invitation'.

If the list is invite-only, it's only visible to those who have already joined or received an invitation. Otherwise it's visible by everyone. But even if it's invite-only, you don't have to manually invite each user yourself. If you look under the "invite new users" section of your list details, it says "you can also share this URL" and gives a link. If you post this link, anyone can use it to request to join, and then you just have to approve or deny the requests. If they're already a member of the list, they will be informed when they follow the link. Also, anyone can see the lists they're subscribed to by going to pmlists.php; the top box is 'Subscribed Lists'.

Does this help answer your questions?
