New Mail system
Hello All,
Today ChatFighters got a new Message system. I consider it BETA.
Over the next hours and days, it will improve. - Especially on Mobile.
Functions to come in the next days:
- Star messages will be back soon.
- Direct attachments of pictures.
- Search inside the messages
I know it is an early version, but getting your feedback that early in the process helps to develop it in the right direction.
So if you have any ideas or points you like to see (or find bugs), NOW is the time to speak up loud :)
Thanks for all your help in improving ChatFighters.
Best Regards,
The Tech
Update 6th of September:
- Fixed a number of issues related to messages from deleted characters.
- Sending a spam report and a generic "no interest" response works now.
- You can now see your starred messages in a list for each character.
- Your canned responses are now shared between your characters.
- You can select some individual messages from a thread to delete.
- Ability to download your messages in a .zip file is restored.
Coming up next:
- Outbox (list of your sent messages).
- Message search page.

2020-08-23 22:58guess I'll start (:
1. I think it's better NOT to mix all the characters' messages into one long message list. better keep it separate or at least give us an option to set it to each person's preference.
2. visibility of "unread" (by the other side) is something we had (by seeing the "outgoing" messages we had an icon). personally, I'de like it back.
3. download messages to .zip is gone.

4. not sure how important it is, but perhaps it's a bug: no option for "subject".

Thanks for the reply! :)
1 let's see what the majority thinks, an option would be doable. or maybe a filter to only show of your characters - or all
I'm aware of 2 and 3 and they will come back in the next days.
4-subject got removed on purpose. Is it really useful? (you can make the first line of your message the subject and make it bold by using: ' ' 'bold' ' ' (without space) --> bold

2020-08-23 23:45I LOVE THIS NEW SYSTEM
I had been shifting from profile to profile to make replies.
Beautiful!

2020-08-24 06:32Excellent upgrade. One request, could we "collapse" or "hide" the list of messages on the left hand side for when we want more screen real estate to focus on the message we are reading/replying to?

2020-08-24 19:09I like it so far. One thing, I can't seem to delete conversations from members that are no longer here. An option to select multiple conversations to delete would also be great :)

2020-08-25 18:47Overall, I like it. Took a little getting used to the new layout but I do like not having to toggle among my alts for messages. Glad photo attachments are coming back, that was a great addition.
1. I do miss the name of the other person being a live link to their profile.
2. I don't generally use the Message feature for Scenarios but I clicked on one and it didn't go anywhere useful.
But I like it.

Thanks for the feedback!
1) Does the 'More' button work for you? It will preview the profile and provides quick-links to inc. to the full profile.
2) Thanks! totally missed that, it is fixed now.

Yes, it works but I'm lazy ;) I liked the one-click from the message header to the profile. With More, it's click on that, click on Search, type the name and hope you spell it exactly, then sometimes have to hunt through the search results. I would find Search more useful if it only displayed profile names and not story mentions, that would be easier.
But that's a quibble. Again, overall I like the new system. Thanks for your work and reply.

I mean the 'More' button in your messages. (directly above the text-input field)
What you describe sounds like the more button what is on the top of every page.

That opens a quick view with one click directly on the messages page.

Very nice! I never noticed that button. Thanks, that's perfect.

I missed that too! That works. Maybe a bit more prominent to know what it does?

Oh, that's cool! I like that a lot. Just saw that the links on the list of messages work too. Thank you!

I second Marco!
I really miss not having the other person's name as a live link to their profile.
Other than that, I've got no complaints.

2020-08-26 14:49I have an email from a member that deleted his account. I can't seem to delete that message.
Now he's created a new account, using that same member name, but it won't show up. When I click his old messages, his new message appears but it's not clickable. The only way to see it is if I go to the Your Turn page to see unread messages. But then once I click it I can't go back to it, unless he replies with a new message. Odd little bug. Not sure how often it happens that people would delete then create a new account with the same nickname, but thought I'd bring it up.

Thanks for the report and catching this error, I will check and fix in the next days.

2020-08-28 20:48I don't know if it's on purpose or not, or if it's only me, but I don't receive any email when I receive a message on the site.
