I am having some PMs in my inbox, and several of them are identified as me..me(3). These are the ones where I have initiated the PM thread, there was a response and I responded back.

Now with several of them sitting in a column bunched close together, there is no way I can find what thread is for what topic/member. The only way to find out is to click the link, where it will appear as a sequence of messages. But that requires a page reload, and on slow connections it is a pain. This will keep happening for each odd number of interactions between two members.

I would suggest to use (rather, reuse) the same form that is used to display the forum entries, where the title, the initiator and the last sender are prominantly displayed.

A short stop-gap solution would be to fish out the entire chain of senders in the PM chain, and then present this in the form of a label when mouse hovers over the me..me(3).

Yes, me..me(3 or more) is confusing.  Something should be done.

Lol Lol.

By the way I just noticed that in case of more than 3, the 'me..me(3)' doesn't appear.  It appears as '<name>..me(4 or more).

Its not the "more than 4" but if the no of replies is even, including the sent messages for same subject it shows name

me...<name>(2/4/6/...etc)

if its odd...it just displays

me...me(3/5/7/9...etc)

I guess this could be easily corrected.




Those who claim that they know everything do not know what they dont know.
