Regarding Private Messages

[Del Murder]

That is a good idea, I will try it.

[RSL]

The only thing I feel is really missing is the ability to sort PMs by username.

Now that would be awesome.

Yeah, I have 7277 PMs right now. I don't really have any problems getting around.

[Yamaneko]

Why would you need to go back and look for old PMs?

[Del Murder]

Reference. For example, Nicky wanted me to resend a message I sent to her last month because it contained important information and she deleted it.

[RSL]

Yeah. I've made a folder for everyone I've ever received a PM for. It helps, if you need to find a message from someone, you only have to look through that folder. However, if you receive a lot of PMs, it is fairly time consuming to do this. That's where Loony BoB's idea of sorting by username would come in handy.

[Loony BoB]

Yeah. RSL (I think) & I both currently sort all PMs into folders, each folder for the user who sent it. This means we can search easier by username, but now we're cutting ourselves out on the time-slot front, if we ever forget who sent some PM to us and need to refer back to it by date. It also means it's a struggle to find our earlist PMs. Being able to simply sort PMs would make that all a lot easier, as you could just choose how you'd like to sort in order to check something, much like you can in forums.

Of course, all this talk won't do much, as to my knowledge there isn't a way to get this done without hacking the place up, and I'm not keen on that idea at all. If I found it annoying enough I'd probably have posted about it at vB already. But I don't, so I haven't. There are more important things I feel they should look into and I'll just hope they concentrate on those things.
