That will save running queries each time a profile is loaded as well, no? Only runs a extra query when you click the button.

Probably.
As for the suggest list -- probably the same.  Adding a field (which would require 2 extra joins, I think) to the big query, vs. doing a quick check each time a name is clicked.

The question is -- which is more important.  The server's time and effort or the users' time and effort. Strangely, the answer might depend on how close the forum owner is to monthly limits...

Suki:
You still need to check on the actual page since the button isn't the only way to send a pm.

Loading the extra info on every users (Load.php) and do a quick check should be fine.

If you type a long message, it kinda makes you want to kick something, with things the way they are. ;)

emanuele:
The icon would solve just part of the issue.

Apart from the fact I don't remember how blocking PMs works, the original idea could be good: since we are already querying the database for the autosuggest function, it wouldn't be too difficult to find out if the user is ignoring you or not at that step and then show a warning.

May I move this to feature requests?

K@:
Yeah, 'course!

I was only thinking of having it here, really. But, thinking about it, it ought to be a standard thing.
