Repeat :: Private Messages

[Hyperspeed]

You Have Mail was on Channel 5 earlier and lo and behold my Amiga.org :: Private Messages folder is full again with notifications for new posts.

However, all 30 of them are for just one thread!

Argh!

Isn't there a way for a new message notification to cancel out a dormant one in your mailbox to avoid you opening each 2-tier recursive message?

It takes ages to read all of them, particularly since when you open a notify it opens another screen with the URL instead of the main inbox displaying it. You could then tell which was the same thread simply from the URL displayed under the thread name.

Just a suggestion...  this has bugged me for eons...

I think I asked this early last year but Wayne wasn't in a good mood so I didn't tempt fate!

:-D

With each Amiga.org/XOOPS page being around 70k they are nowhere near as bloated as the new eBay pages but are still quite sluggish on an AGA/dialup setup. Every little shortcut and hi-tech wizardry would be of the utmost benefit to the 68k users.

I can't seem to get a lot of the functions working either, even with IBrowse2.3 (it even has a direct link to Amiga.org!). Those buttons up above the reply text gadget with font sizes and `Manager' written on don't seem to respond, neither do Private Messages.

Argggh! You said exactly the same thing last time!

I'm sure there's more people than X-Ray and myself that find it awkward trawling through 2 seperate links to view the notified thread. However it is an essential part of keeping up to date with people who need your help and who are giving help to you.

Please don't remove it... it's a well loved, if ugly, child.

:-D

Don't Xoops have a forum on patches and updates, or newsgroups where other webmasters can share their modifications? It could be quite a simple alteration, I've definately seen something about updating smileys and stuff.

Well I prefer to respond right away to calls for help, not wait a few months by which time someone has pulled their hair out and ditched their Amiga!

I also appreciate the 1st class butler-like service that a memo in the Private Message box offers. I was merely making a suggestion for speed improvement and think Xoops should be kept until such time a test-site can be set up so users can taste the new before dumping the old.

It's an exaggerated problem for me as I don't have a GFX card, I'm sure if I did the monotany wouldn't be so bad.

Can you imagine a life without the dancing banana?
