Does anyone know how to shut down the email notification?
I know I can do it through 'preferences' but that would stop messages that I might actually want.

btw: yes, Knightmare, I know. I am weak. Very, very weak :)

Hey...bravery...even if limited...is better than total cowardice...lol

Yet the payoffs are sometimes limited.

But in some cases, the payoff may be more than expected. :-)

Ok, no reply from Rytis yet, so it will be later this afternoon my time when I wake up to see if he wrote back. I'll let you all know.

I second the motion...and a seperate plonk function.

Hello,

I don't know if you got my last email, but I am forwarding it again just
in case.


I received it, probably did not find time to respond, though.

Also, some folks on some different boards that have enabled the PM
system, are asking if theres any news on having a Delete All button and
a folder for Sent messages?


I am going to implement that. I created two separate tickets in Trac so that you can track progress:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/235 - outbox
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/236 - deletion

Sorry to bug you, I know your busy. Just trying to help out. Thank you
again for your time.


No problem. At least you approach nicely - I am under heavy attack about PM stuff, where some people don't accept how the feature is done... The same was with the team founder change, but they got used to it... I guess it will be the same with PMs :)

And is there any information posted about how it works, for example, how
many posts can your inbox contain? Will thay auto delete when the box
fills up to a certain number of posts or after a certain date if you do
not manually delete them?


For now it is unlimited. I don't think that PMs take up a lot of server resources, so I think there is no need to lower the functionality. We will see about the usage later. However, if the changes will be done, I believe they will be clearly communicated.

I see the red X got added, along with what KM asked for. But, it'd be
nice to have it list which forums you can go back to.

I guess it will be the forum you where in last. But with more buttons
you could get to any forii.


There's a bit of problem with this one. I added a link to forum index from PM pages, but it's really problematic to carry on the information from which forum page you originally came. I'm not sure if this will ever be done; it is a very low priority task.

And from Longshanks/Ice:
It seems to me that the moderators are keen to ask us to contact
setimod-this and adminmod-that, although amazingly always fail to
include these email addresses in the notices they send out. So how about
a button to PM setimod-whatever and admin-whatever, or just to say what
the email address is. And maybe any buttons for any other addresses they
recommend we should use to communicate our thoughts and wishes.


This should be done by the project staff. Maybe set up an account with name "moderators" which would be accessible to every mod, and add a link somewhere in the web page.

How about it Rytis, can we make communication a little bit easier with
just an extra button or some to add to 'Inbox' and 'Write'? Maybe a
pull-down menu if there is a selection.


Not sure I understand what you want with this one. What should the dropdown contain?

Nothing in particular - I was simply thinking that a drop down menu would save the upper page being filled with extra links - a drop down menu with the options might make things tidier.

Longshanks and Sarge,

I forwarded your last 2 posts to Rytis just now, so I'll let you know when I hear further.

Fuzzy,

I didn't know that you wanted to take over the communications with the forum guy, if thats the case, then this will be my last email. I was doing this as a courtesy for people here. So if thats the case, its all yours, and this is the last email I send Rytis regarding this subject.
