You've probably noticed already that we've finally replaced the old popup-based PM system with a proper Sleuth-Mail system (complete with multiple mailboxes and contacts lists).

There are undoubtedly a few bugs in the new system, and a few interface issues we'll need to clean up, but I hope everybody will be much happier with the new system.

Please leave feedback here regarding the new system (and laments about how much you miss the popups).

Could the Sleuth Mail flash from the out side main and not inside the message box for new messages?

I know people who forget to open the thing up and unless they open it, can be quite difficult contacting them.

Ah the little tag at the top right flash when a new message comes in. Sounds good but if it is difficult to do we should all just get in the habit of leaving the message box open at all times... I don't lol!!! Still hoping for check boxes, the messages are a pain to delete one by one if they build up. Also after replying to a message at present I need to go back inot inbox and open the message to delete it. Seems an easier way of deleting would save server space Ben so may be a good one to look into!

I agree w/ Amanda and Stooby it would be nice to delete multiple messages at a time.

Thanks again for the new message system. It take a bit to get used to but I still like it.

Hmmm, we'll think about checkboxes. However, I just want to remind you that every time a box is checked a pony dies.

Well you don't even want to KNOW what kills kittens then...

The new system is great, but is it slower than the old popup system?

Jun-5-2007 20:08

I don't find it much slower, especially since you can refresh it whenever you want.

There is now a "delete all" button in each of your mailboxes (inbox, saved and outbox). I know its not as flexible as doing multi save/delete with checkboxes, but hopefully it's almost as good (because the checkboxes will have to wait for a few weeks).

Thanks Ben for the addition, it's a help and good to hear you are working on the checkboxes. Good to see you take notice of the feedback!
