Permanent handles (user names), Private Messaging and more

Got the Message. Thanks Manish, Krishna and Vicky. Cheers

Happy to see more features added to the forum.

But please don't make our mods jobless by sending all your queries through PMs. Post some in threads also.

Yes Feroz, that really is a good point. Or the Askers will be reprimanded suitably by the MODs

Jokes apart, everyone understands that PM is not meant for forum discussion

I was checking the PM option with Pankaj and noticed one thing. The square background color for the emoticons appears darker than the bg of the PM, giving it a 'Patchy' feeling. I think it will look better if bgs of the emoticons and the bg of PM matches with each other. what do you say guys??

Yes, the difference/background is quite apparent (grey) - and it does look patchy.  It would look better if the background matches (white) like it does here in the forum posts.

I sent a few PM's to Bala (balabala) but it seems they've not reached him.

Also, while trying to resend the same PM's to him, I could not find an option to forward or send for the "Sent PM's". May be can be included in future upgrades

Noticed one thing:

When I check My subscribed thread & the thread list comes, the last post by name shows EARLIER NAME of the member (and not the new permanent name)...as below

I've lost my old username. All the new posts appear under new user name. My old username was soori which had 238 posts. THe new username is sooraj.naik with 1 post?

Please address this issue. I dont want all my old posts get lost because of the new username.
