Why the hell does SMF not have a PM searching feature?
I've got a few hundred PM's and there's something I just can't find.
-
Isn't the PM limit like 20-30 messages?

Screen:
(13 pages in inbox and 12 in outbox...)
If you PM with lot of people then it would be usefull. for me it's not that important 'cause I PM with ~4 persons.
-
You do know that there is a delete button... why keep over 50 messages and I highly doubt you need to keep all of them.
-
Some of them are just important and some less important have links, pics. It's good to keep 'em.
-
I have 60 messages, used to have a lot more but deleted all the useless ones, it's a lot easier to look for the stuff you need if you get rid of all the pointless stuff just sitting around in your inbox.
A search function would be excellent for the more frequent PM'ers though.
-
I guess it would be useful to have for those with a lot of PMs. A lot of people wouldn't really use it though.
-
Delete them?
The only relevant ones are the first pages
-
If you need to be able to search your private messages, just enable the e-mail notification of new PMs (if you don't have it enabled already) and just search your mail inbox instead.
(this is what I do)

what? a retard
maybe if you have links in pms and keep those cloggers just for that, why not make a "favourites"/"soldat link bookmarks" function that would just help store relevant links/pics so you wouldn't have to browse through all of your worldly possessions?

Ahahaha... NinjaGimps got someone who hates him.
Ontopic: I agree for this one :)

Hahaha, he sent me a nice little PM too. It's people like him who shame Aussie Soldat.

I see.. but getting e-mails all the time is just annoying, really. In fact, I hate getting e-mails, and I haven't even gotten smited with spammail on my new one yet. I quite like the idea here that jrgp brought up. Like me, I have 221 PMs currently, and I don't really wanna delete any of them. Surely there are some of them that I will never check out again, but I actually like to go through some of them on dull days just to see if I forgot anything, you know?
-
Thanks, echo. I highly doubt there isn't a searching PM's add on for SMF, and if there isn't, it wouldn't take more than a half hour for someone like Flies or EH to code one. Maybe it's something you guys could consider.
-
If i get an important messange il either screen it and put it in a certain folder or just copy it.

Do you really get PMs so often that the e-mails would be annoying?
-
Well... yes, actually. I mean, it's not critical, but the feature would be a nice addition, me thinks.
