PM issue.

[Ace Oliveira]

I see that a lot of Users in this forum don't respond to their Private Messages.

I think it is because the Menu above is way too discreet. Maybe we should change it?
Any one agree?

other sites have a popup that say "you have a message" automatically when logging in

Maybe we can Use that?

I don't think this forum is something you can modify. I don't think it's that hard to find your new message thing, it tells you in the top right.

Maybe Bunni could make some threads that cannot be edited that just talk about forum rules, and add something about the PMs. I've been on forums that had that before.

Well, looking over the manual you should be able to do that as a moderator [most boards allow that as a mod power]. Just to run though it, apparently when you look at the forums as a moderator, you see a tickbox by each thread. This is their example:



Like that, according to their help page. To make a rules thread like the ones you've seen, post it, then tick the box and click "stick thread" in the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page, then "Go." This places the thread at the top of the forum, outside the normal posting order.



Then do the same, but click "close thread" before "Go." You now have a thread that's always at the top of the forum and which nobody can reply to.

I'll look into this more. I guess I haven't explored my options well enough.
