Another functionality I'd love to see

Post by MagickalMemories »

It's rather small, really, as far as importance goes. Just something I could have used a few minutes ago, so I thought I'd start a topic on it.

When you send a PM, it goes into your outbox when the recipient (either) reads it or comes on to Bartertown (unclear which), it goes into your sentbox (I may have the "box"es reversed, but it is unimportant for this).
Currently, you can't see WHEN the message was viewed.
Would it be possible to add that?

Als, I'd love it if it only goes into the other box after the PM is actually READ. Then, you'd have PROOF the PM was seen, if a discrepancy arises.

Just hoping.

I agree Erik, that would be an excellent feature, and yet another tool which would be good in keeping the peace on this board. So, what do you think moderators, can it be done?

I wouldn't mind having the option to receive a "read receipt." I've seen this feature on other boards before.

A second suggestion

Since we are talking about "like to see", I just attempted to find a few friends in the Memberlist, but because of their information, they ended up being in the middle of the 129 pages of membership.
Could a "Select page Number" box be added so we could skip large blocks or get through the list quicker?

Thanks, AG, for saying that. You reminded me of another option I'd love.

It's in that same area. I'd love to have multiple listing options:
Chronological and reverse chronological, alphabetically, etc.

Also, letter/number tabs would be great. If I'm looking for someone... Let's say, for example, Insidius... and I'm not totally sure how he spells his SN, I can go to the "I" tab and look through there until I find him.

I would love it if every time I came to BT the site would inject me with something good.
