Just a though I had-

What if there was something that when you send a PM there is another section in your box. It will show all the messages you sent in the last 24 hours and show weather the person saw the message, PMed you back, or didn't see the message.

Because if you know me, I always want to make sure people get my PMs :D. Just a though

We do have that, but it's set for mod only use right now. Most people don't care to use it.

I'd love to have that option. Sometimes I wonder whether to poke the person again because they missed or they were just ignoring me. :)

And since you said most people don't care to use it, why not make it an option? Like it's an option to leave a pm you sent in your sent box.

That would be a helpful option because sometimes you wonder if they either have not veiwed it yet or have not set back a message.

We need to have it set so mods will recieve a tracked PM back. If we allowed all users to track PMs, then we'd have to give people the option to allow or disallow a track. We wouldn't want someone stalking another user by this means. Though this would defeat our own purpose of using tracked PMs which contain warnings/reminders/ban notices. Therefore, I'm going to have to say "no" to allowing all users to use this feature. If vB changes things in the future that will allow us to track PMs, but give other users the option, then we'll make the change at that time.

Precisely what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure there would be some crazy fans out there looking for a certain somebody.

And, besides, we always have the ability to view a user's profile and see what their viewing. If you're lucky, you might see them viewing "Private Messaging".

I think it would be a good idea, but it has some bad uses.

Like Stalking.

Oh well! :Tongue:

I agree with CarrieWannaBe, it would be helpful but promote bad things in real life. ( Like Stalking and tapping phones )

Maybe that could be a new feature, perhaps a bonus when you donate to the forums?

yes, we should be able to see whether or not the person we sent it to read it.

Haha i don't either, i don't have the money to buy anymore of those things that cost real life money, especially if it only lasts for a year.
