Private messaging is a bit cumbersome

Submitted 4 years, 6 months ago by

The way it's implemented now, the only way I can find to send a message is to copy the username, then go to private messages and paste the username into the "to" field. I think it would be much better if there was a button or link in the user profile to send the user a message. Some forums I've seen even have a PM button with every post.

    You are absolutely correct. The PM system is in its very basic form and will get refined in time ;-)

    I think this would be pretty easy to do since the PM backend seems fairly complete. But there are probably many issues that individually would be "pretty easy" to fix, and I don't really know what's a priority to the community.

    Also, not that I've ever tried it before, but writing a forum from scratch seems like a pretty big project.

    Edit: I don't even see a way to delete messages, so I guess the backend might not be as complete as I thought. I am of course assuming that there is more than updating the UI needed.
