As you may have already noticed, this week we launched a few improvements to our private messaging system, in order to make it more convenient and clearer to use.
Indeed, a few operational "quirks" made the system a little difficult to follow. We are therefore happy to present these few small but pleasant changes made in your private message box:
1. The PMs are now grouped by subject: we keep the discussion thread between the same interlocutors and with the same subject title.
2. You can now consult the history of the discussion beyond the first 7 messages: pagination has been added to go back as far as necessary in the discussion.
3. In some versions, a small icon indicates which messages you have already replied to.
4. The message being viewed is clearly indicated in the history (your members will stop wondering why their message appears twice!)
To summarize, we now have a real discussion thread per topic, more understandable and more user-friendly!
Forumotion users who write a lot of PM will immediately see the positive impact of this optimization. And if you don't quite see what it is about, just trust us: it’s much better now!
