hmm I have whisper turned on, deleted the old pm 1.0 and uploaded and turned on the the 1.1 private messages. The whisper button shows up but nothing happens when I click on it.
when i send a message it still appears as an unread message in my inbox which is slightly odd. i know it's not that important but i think it could be confusing for some peple.
@circuit: you'll have to enable email notification. Check your "Forum Preferences" from the "Account" page. Also.. strange that your send messages are marked unread... what steps do you take to write this message?
i have enabled notification but it seems to be quite hit-and-miss. perhaps notification of a PM above the discussion list, like in the Whisper Notification plugin, would be a good addition. thanks again jazzman.
oh, regarding sent messages - i just compose and send a PM in the normal way and it appears in my inbox AND sent items as an unread message... i will experiment more with it when i next send a PM.
There are only two things that would make this the perfect system as far as I'm concerned.
1. The ability to delete messages that you've read. Not auto delete though. 2. An indicator on the "Inbox" tab that tells you that you have a new message: *ex. Inbox (1)*
I never do email notifications for stuff like this but I guess a part 3 would be the email notify for those that do.
I was just about to recommend an indicator in the "Inbox" tab that tells you that you have a new message: *ex. Inbox (1)*, but I see that Herrgeist has already beaten me to it!
Question for Jazzman: Are you up for any paying custom work gigs? Been trying to reach you but to no avail.
jazzman, could you perhaps add a notification above the discussions which tells you when you have new messages? notification emails are only being sent when PMs are replied to, not when a new PM is sent.
But, I noticed two things which are somewhat buggy/confusing:
1) If you send a message — and even if you get a reply — it doesn't count towards the message count in your inbox. You can even see this in your example screenshot (taken from above):
If you look closely, you'll see the message count says "1 to 3 of 3" even though there are clearly 5 rows of messages.
And, not only does an incoming reply to your sent messages not count towards the inbox message count, if that's all you have in your inbox, it will still tell you don't have any mail — even though it should.
2) If you reply to someone who sent you the original private message, it doesn't show up in your outbox. It only shows up in your inbox. That would be acceptable if the inbox behaved similarly, but it doesn't — the inbox seems to show sent messages to others even if no one has replied to them yet.
A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred Technical information (for support personel):
Error Message An error occurred while retrieving discussions. Affected Elements PrivateMessages.GetDiscussionList();
The error occurred on or near: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'on t.FirstCommentID = m.CommentID where t.Active = '1' and t.CategoryID = '6'' at line 1

additionally, in the next release, could there be a way for users to delete messages?

Just my $.02
@shotoshi: You can always email me so I can concider it, but lately I've been very busy with my real job
notification emails are only being sent when PMs are replied to, not when a new PM is sent.

That's right! :-(

any fix for that?
