    Would it be possible to add an icon to the row of blue-colored icons on a user’s initial profile page that would allow someone to send them a PM/DM?

    The profile page I’m talking about is the page that you wind up at immediately after clicking on someone’s user name.

    Since this involves a PM/DM, it should only be available to folks who have signed in to the site, as that’s the normal behavior of the PM/DM feature here. So, if I haven’t signed in with my user name and password, I won’t see the PM/DM icon on a user’s profile page if I click on their name.

    Being able to just click on a user’s name and then an icon to PM/DM them would be quite easier than having to search for them in the directory.

    Just a suggestion, so that’s why I’ve put this message in the “Suggestions about improving the Lounge” area.

      Let me investigate – as yes, waiting for that “resolve” takes a while doesn’t it?

        …waiting for that “resolve” takes a while doesn’t it?

         

        That, and there isn’t a “Submit” button alongside the search box so you know to hit “Enter” after typing in your search criteria for a member.

        For example, typing in “Susan Bradley” into the search box in the directory tab and hitting the “Enter” key on the keyboard brings up five hits, and you have to hover over each one to figure out just which one you want to send the message to. Not too bad. However, entering “sb” into the same search box brings up a ton of hits, probably every user who either has an “s” or a “b” in their user name.

      We discourage the use of DMs. If it can’t be said in a forum….

      cheers, Paul
