Private Messages/Subscriptions/Search

[DaBulls82]

I couldn't find info on these items elsewhere - sorry if I missed it.

Three features I'd love added/fixed are PMs, subscriptions (to threads), and search.

PMs I think would really help build the community on boards. There are members I've been chatting with for 9 years and it's a shame I can't send them a PM.

Subscriptions would allow me to track the threads I'm involved in or interested in without having to find them. On slower boards it's probably not a huge issue but when you are posting on multiple boards or active boards, it can be a task. Allows the user to be more efficient and hopefully improve content because of it.

Search - pretty straightforward but very important. It would be nice to check a users previous posts as well.

Thanks!

DaBulls82,

We plan to add these features. There is no exact timetable because of other things we have to do first.

I'll keep everyone posted.

I just want to say I am against the "search user post" function. Most people want to be able to go through a particular user's posts so they can find something they said and say "I told you so". Some people already do this using the Google Search Engine. I can only imagine they will do it more with a built-in search function.
- For example, User A makes a predication. His predication was wrong. User B searches though User A's posts and finds the post where User A made that predication and rubs it in User A’s face.
-- Conclusion: There would be a potential risk of increase in baiting.

It would be nice to search through your own post though. When I click "View Your Posts", I only able to see the first page of threads I participated in, out of the 74.'

As always, I am only suggesting and expressing my opinion. I never try to tell RealGM administrators and moderators how to do their jobs.

Shpati21,

It's possible this will happen and we will look into the possibility of this before we implement it.
