Subject: PM Auto-Quote Suggestion

After being very confused at the complete lack of context in almost all of the PM replies I get, I've noticed that almost no one else is using the PM Quote feature. (I know Recon is, he's cool.)

What about having a PM reply autoquoted when you go to compose? Or autoquote if it's under a certain length?

It's not that big a deal to most people I would imagine, but as someone who sends PMs on a regular basis, it annoys me that no one uses the Quote button. :(

Hey, that's not a bad idea. I don't use the PM system very much myself, but I can imagine that for someone who does get a lot of PMs and uses the PM system that a feature like this would remove a lot of confusion and frustration.

I'm sure lots of people would agree. A feature such as this could only be beneficial.

I have to agree. I must admit i haven't really used it a lot in Pms. But you are right. I get very confused when you can't remember what the hell you aksed someone in the first place.

*I promise to use the quote feature in all my PMs from now on*

The auto quote may not be such a bad idea actually in that case. I'm all for it!

(Notice how i used the quote feature above)

Yay! At the very least, I hope this thread helps raise awareness of the feature.

Another option would be to have a "Sent Messages" box, that in conjuntion with the auto quote feature could really help me out at least. I know there are many times where I wish I could see what I had typed before without relying on the recipient to remember to quote it.

Yeh. This would also bee a good idea. That way, if someone for gets to quote, you'll always have the 'sent messages' box. I sent a lot a PMs so both features would be very handy.

Well, where do i start?:

* PM- Personal/Private Message, the funtion to post private messages to other members

* Replying- To reply. The function used to type a new message or 'PM'.

* Auto Quoting- A new idea for a function. The current feature called 'Quote' allows the user to insert the contents of the pm they are replying to. 'Auto Quote' would be a way in which the computer automaticly inserts a quote from the previous pm and therefore the user would not need to select 'Quote'.
