OK - Do I need to worry about seeing this at the top right of every Forum Page?

"Warning: mysql_fetch_object(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /disks/setifiler1/home/boincadm/projects/sah/html/inc/forum.inc on line 578
You have no unread private messages. | Inbox | Write"


Or, is this some weird issue/side effect while Matt gets Thumper's replacement on-line?

[EDIT:]

By the way, it is now happening in Beta/Astropulse, too.

Nope, Matt's not in today, he said he had gigs this weekend.

I don't think this is anything to worry about, but looks like it may indicate new forum features are in our future. ;-)

Gigs? I thought he said he had Teras!

[Edit] I see a search button on every page now that I didn't notice before, and I see "You have no unread private messages" too. Yep, I think we're getting some added features!

SWEET!!! Now the "sql" Error is gone and replaced by:

"You have no unread private messages. | Inbox | Write"

...for SETI@Home. So, yes; it seems that Alinator's guess of a new feature being added is correct. Unfortunately; Beta/Astropulse still shows the "sql" error.

[EDIT:]

OK - Beta/Astropulse is fixed now, too...

Now if we could get a "Mark all threads read" function, the BOINC forum package would be just as good as any other one out there for what we need it for. :-)

The error was happening while web code was being updated. There are still some issues with PM system, like mysql error when sending to non-unique username. It's fixed in the SVN, so it's just a metter of time until it's uploaded here.

Anyway, consider this as some kind of a preview release. I'll be working on usability (links in the user pages to quickly send PMs, outbox for the messages, maybe something else). Who knows, maybe some time these forums will see other long awaited functions, like smily faces and a method to mark forum as read... ;)

And a “Mark message as unread” (or “Flag message”) as a remnder to follow up or reread later.

...maybe even an outbox? :o)

It should also have a link to be able to ignore users quickly; not all such messages may be wanted, and moderation is almost impossible because it would take too much effort.

The private message feature was mentioned in technical message a day or two ago.

Yup, I read that one. The outbox wasn't mentioned there though, and I think the abuse potential is pretty high, so it should be simple to set up restrictions.

Is the little link under our usernames/avatars in the left column to "Private message" new as of after the tuesday outage, or have they been there since the start of the new P.M capabilities. I think I haven't seen them before, but I might be losing my mind.

Yes, it's better instead of having to find the User ID for that person you want to send a pm for.

I'd still rather people send an email. It's why it's there.

Most people would rather not give spam bots their email address. Personally, I already get enough spam mail as it is even though I've been very careful never to publish any of my addresses anywhere on the net.
