Otsikko: Latest batch of ideas
Kirjoitti: karlbenson - marraskuu 28, 2007, 02:29:26 IP
Another month, another batch of ideas from my ideas for mods list.

I just don't have the time to make all of my ideas into mods.  So I'm posting the ones which I'm unlikely to have the desire or time to make myself.

Mark Page as Read
Unread/Unread replies, where there are lots of pages it can be a pain. So the ability to mark a page as read would make it easier.

PM Answering Machine
An interstitial between clicking pm user and being able to write/send the pm.

- If your away eg on holiday, leave an answer machine message to inform users who are going to pm you that you are away and won't be able to respond
- Put a message, eg on smf.org, Please do not pm me for support.

Thx, but I think I have enough mods of my own. ;) ;)

Thats sort of like it.  Except I think my idea was to have people see the message BEFORE they send the pm or even write the pm.

eg "Turn back now if your thinking of pm'ing me for support" ;)

Hmmm, might be kinda hard to do if the user doesn't go through the profile to send the PM.
