  Improved PMS  

yea i would like an new pms would you i mean UC has a real nice pm system i like it anyways.well here is words from stephen about UCs improved PM. I just think its interesting.

Improve - Private Message

PM has been improved !
*Summary


Design

Old or read messags will now appear in smaller font and in gray color, making it much easier to figure out which PM you have read, and which you havent. This applies the same to the Outbox, telling you which message has been read by the person you have sent to or not

The background color of the PM page has been changed from gray to black, and orange fonts to highlight important things such as who have sent the PM to you or who have you sent the PM to, and what is the previous discussion thread look like...


Navigation & General use

We have noticed that a number of players uses the PM to chat, or should I say the PM half the time bounces between two players. If you have a number of friends, it would become increasingly hard to remember exactly what you have wrote to the other player if the other player does not quote or include your previous PM then in the players waste time trying to figure out their conversation.

The new system is similar to the chat-client in which all older post will be logged into the new PM. If you reply a new PM, the both parties will be able to see the older post (the message you are replying to) automatically. We hope this will encourage conversation and the use of PM.


More things to come

We are currently testing out this new PM system, and if you have any suggestions do post them here ya ? There is a high chance that we will be adding in more cool features and stuff that will make it easier to communicate with other players.
