Here's some stuff that I think would help with PMs:

(1.) Make it so that you can forward 1 message to many people at 1 time:I had to send out info about MAZ while I'm on vacation, and it took me 45 min to forward it to everyone, where it shoulda only taken a minute if I was able to just send it to everyone at 1 time.

(2.)Please get rid of the auto quote while sending forwards:You hit forward, and it automaticly puts the quote tag in there, which I had to delete on every single message I forwarded.

(3.)A selectable list of people to send PMs to: A list of members that's like "auto-dial", where you can just click on the name(s) you want to PM, and it starts a PM with thier name in the recipient slot. Make it so that we can add, delete, and group the names. For instince: (just an example)It's Spring 2003, and I just found out the date of the RX-8's release. I want to tell all of the members of MAZ. I go to Private Messages, and there's a pulldown menu, it has several members, then groups of members. So I select "MAZ". I write the message, and when I hit submit, it sends the message to everyone in that group.


Can any of this be done?(I'm sure it can...)

Have you ever used your buddy list? This is exactly what it is for. Just click the "pm to buddies" or "forward to buddies" button at the bottom of pages, check the members in your buddy list you want to send to, and you're ready. :)

Emails are the same way - they just don't have the luxury of a "quote" tag. Personally, I really think that is useful. It shows that the quoted message is what you are passing along (and is not your text), and allows you to include your own distinct note in the message.

GTS-R_MAN, I read every post in Suggestions and Feedback, and I will answer your question if you give me time. I have already answered your question about AIM here. :)
 
Ohh the buddylist does that? Ofcourse it does...the 1 thing I haven't used on GTP and it coulda saved me at least 40min.

For the 2nd one, I was passing along my own text. I was forwarding the same message I wrote to everyone...it's really irrellevent now cause I can use the buddy list for that...

3rd one: cool, I'll have to do this.

GTS-R, Go to bed earlyier or something...you sound like a blind guy that hears an explosion close by...I knew Jordan would see this, that's why I posted it here. And Jordan's AIM (gtplanet_911)is for when there is a site problem and he and others can't get on GTP to answer questions about the site going down. Take your Ritalin...or stop using Ritalin...and stop horning in on my stuff like you want to take credit for it...

Thanks Jordan
 
ohh yea...as he said, "I'm 11, I'm supposed to be annoying"

He actually said that to me...
 
As pointed out by Youth Cycler, even with the buddy list thing, you can only send a message to 5 members at a time, and MAZ has over 20, so I wouls still have to send it 5 times...

Jordan, can you change this?(hoping that you will and then this thread would be worth something...)

Unless I've missed it, I can't find the option to change this anywhere. :( To double-check, I have asked the vBulletin folks so we'll see if there is a way to change it I just haven't found yet...
 
oky doky, sounds good. I'm not going to be sending stuff to my MAZ people for a while still, just want you to know about it...
 
I'm about to turn 13 and I don't talk like that...I've been posting on message boards since I was 9 and most people thought I was 14 or 15. I guess its becuase I'm "verbally skilled"...really...I'm not kidding.

Haha! Sure enough, I looked right over this setting! :banghead: You should find that I added a zero after the 5 for the new limit. :)
