Add a Delete button in the messaging system

Post by Halmir »

Concise description:
  • Streamline Messaging to save a lot of time for those that use the function. If u haven't got any friends on CC that message u a lot, don't read any further lol :)
Specifics:
  • Deleting a message in the mail system requires u to first tick the box against it, scroll to the bottom of the window, click the drop down and select Delete Marked, then confirm this. This is cumbersome and unneccesary. My suggestion is to add a "Delete" column set of tick boxes (or whatever takes ur fancy) so u tick the ones u want to kill, then hit one of the new "Delete" buttons to be added at the top of the column and the bottom.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • I am in regular contact with 6 or 7 other players and we are constantly whizzing notes back and forth discussing things like forming a clan, running a tournament and making a map collectively. Managing this flood of PMs is a chore as I regularly hit the 50 message limit so I try to clear these out on a daily basis. The current method is sub-optimal and it's like anything that's fairly simple on a computer, you end up doing it thousands of times each year needlessly when a bit of development could make things easier for everyone?

I agree, the extra confirmation step is unnecessary and wastes time. Your suggestion to add a delete button instead of the current drop down will also save a lot of time.

Thank you for posting this. =D>

You can select as many as you want to delete at once.....you don't have to do them one at a time. You can also delete them individually as you read them by clicking the red x button.

but in a chatty thread, u can read all messages by looking at the most recent and see all replies (which is a real nice function of this message system, and quite rare in my experience). It's still a nuisance to have to go click against each one THEN select the drop down THEN hit Delete Marked THEN confirm it again?
