Ability to search PMs?

#1 Post by ToniXX »

Would anyone else find this a nice feature? I know I would. If there is enough desire for searching your PMs, I'll see if I can get a mod and install it. I think I found one, but not sure if it works with this version of the boards.

Count me as interested. Thank you.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

+2 for sure! :P

What would that entail a lot of the site resources to do so?

I approve any improvement though I don't need this necessarily. I approve.

No, I don't think it will. As with other mods, the feature may break when the boards get updated, but usually that doesn't happen. I've done some more research on the topic and think I've found the modification that I'll end up using. I'll apply the changes sometime after the holidays.

Thanks for your input all.

I was browsing this 'Suggestions' forum to see if my question had already been asked when I noticed this. Has this been implemented yet? Really, anything to improve the PM system would be welcomed by me.

Yeah, I'd like to see this too, but the modification is quite complex. I'll revisit it and make a backup plan in case of catastrophe.

How about the ability to search OTHER PLAYERS PMs?

:lol: tooley... then they wouldn't be Private Messages any more, they would be Public Messages! Did you make any enemies on this site that I am not aware of... something you did that would be blackmail worthy.... what was it that Alethan said about you not too long ago...
