 Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 12:18 pm Post subject: How about easier access to one's PM inbox? |
 |
|
One thing this board/site lacks is easy access to one's PM inbox. Sure one can send a PM from anywhere but it would be very convenient to have the option of directly going there rather than to have to try to PM someone whether one wants or not in order to access the inbox which is the case now...
It's just a suggestion...

Sorry for double post, had to check on something.
Another easy way to get to your INBOX is to go to your own profile (or anyone's) and hit ' PM ' them. When you get to this option:
You are here: Fanfic .. Forum .. Private Messages .. Send a new private message
Click on the activation link of "Private Messages" and it takes you to your INBOX.
Hope that helps!

That's precisely what I said that has to be done now. But I do not see why you should attempt to PM someone to access one's personal inbox...
As for addsing to favorites is still a bit aclward as is the only site that needs such a thing to access an inbox directly...

Hmm no you don't. The Inbox of your PM's is hidden under forum. When you see the navigation on the left side you see Fic Archives and then Navigation. It defaults to home, but when you click on Forum, you see messages and that leads you directly to your inbox without sending a PM to someone else. Really. The navigation is slightly different than the old look of the site, but it takes just as much mouse clicks to get there.

OK - three replies.
Firstly, it's only two clicks. And only one click if you've got a new message as it tells you in your little box at the top. It used to be one click,
Secondly, on Friday I was working on a "quick links" mechanism. This allows you to add your favourite pages in a pull-out menu from the side of the screen. You could use this for exactly what you're talking about. Back to one click only, and you can jump straight to your stories reviews, favourite author etc etc.
Thirdly, we'll be adding the ads back in to the site soon. And if anyone uses ad blockers, the PM section of the site wil not be available at all. Just a small warning, and most ad blcokers are easy to configure (but we got to pay for the site somehow, and hte PM system adds space and bandwidth)...
