RobFTC Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I was thinking about how I interact with the board, and I had a suggestion, which I know could range from trivial to impossible to implement. We have a "Quote" button which we can use to create a public response to a thread post, with quoted text. Sometimes I would prefer to send that privately to the author I am quoting - I'd like a new button to build the quote and send a private message to that person. If I want to do this, especially with quoted text, it's really quite the pain to do thoroughly by hand. Something to consider. Thanks, Rob T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to do this, especially with quoted text, it's really quite the pain to do thoroughly by hand. It is possible to do this, though I admit it's not as straightforward as it could be. You need to open at least one additional browser tab or window to do it: [*]View the thread you wish to quote from. [*]Open "Send Personal Message" in another tab (Ctrl+Click) or window (Shift+Click). [*]Click the "Quote" button in the original window. [*]Select all the quoted text (Ctrl+A). [*]Copy the quoted text (Ctrl+C). [*]Paste the quoted text (Ctrl+V) into the personal message form. This environment doesn't support direct quoting between threads, and that logically extends to personal messages. |+| M a r k |+| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabzmom Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think it's a great idea. I have not been on the board for a few days though, so I didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
