we just did the conversions, and I've got some issues that I was hoping you culd help me out with.

first, how do I turn on eamil notification when I get a PM?

why is there not a delete button for PMs? do I really have to move them to an archive first, and delete them from there?

second is it possible to quote PART of a PM in a reply, and not start a pm thred?

Why when I hit "forward" on a PM, does it start a new document that doesn't even have a title?

is there no CC feature for the pm system? I can't find one



on the "who's online" feature, I like the other admins to be able to see my IP address, so they know if I'm at home or on my mobile phone. Is there a way to turn that on?

This is not a feature on ZetaBoards at the moment, nor am I sure it ever will be.

When ZetaBoards was first created you could not delete personal messages at all. Then there came the outcry asking for the ability to delete, however if deleting was too easy it'd be just like IF and there would be support tickets asking for restoration of PMs. It had to be a way in which it would be difficult to 'accidentally' delete PMs. So this system was born. The idea is that you can archive as much as you want, so archiving should be your main method of dealing with PMs, but then if it has personal information on it that you don't want to risk keeping in your account - then you can delete it. :)

Can you better explain what you mean? you can always use the [quote] and [/quote] tags in PMs, but PMs will always be formatted in the topic format. (Which I actually prefer to IF's 1000 embedded quotes and a million PMs in one conversation thing.)

I don't know... that's the way it was programmed, I'd assume. ;) Forwarding still works, you just get to choose your own title and recipient. Then it prepends the message with Fwd: and quotes the message above whatever PM content you input. This also ensures that when people forward PMs they don't lie/alter content in it.

No, there isn't, but you could try this code. :)
