private message display order within a single conversation?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

This might already be an option but i've het to figure out how...

 

it would be nice, for PM's specifically, to be able to have the most recent post at the top, rather than the oldest. some of my conversations have become PAGES long (if i were to print them) and a pain to find the most recent one...

 

i'm referring to a single conversation, not the list of messages...

 

IS there a way to have it display newest message at the top rather than bottom?

And of course, my wonderful Hubby, who puts up with me and keeps me in check when I start to get crazy.

I agree! Also - is there a way to delete the older part of the message so you don't have to swim through the whole thing?

We've got a few ideas to make the messages a bit easier to use, but in the interim we suggest that if you have a really long PM conversation with someone that you just start a new conversation with them and "archive" the old conversation.

We use to have live chat, but we found the cons FAR exceeded the pros.  The main reasons we let it go:

 

  1. Too hard to monitor / police
  2. Too many frequent reports of problems
  3. The information is not archived or kept in a way that others can learn from it.   This is the core value proposition of a forum:  One person can ask a question, 20 people can engage and help answer the question, then for the next 100 years the question and answer can be indexed, searched, discovered, and read by millions of people.   In chat, one person asks, a couple may answer, and then the wonderfully helpful info is lost forever.

thanks for that explanation.  but what about having the ability to sort PM's 'newest to oldest' rather than 'oldest to newest'?

Yup, that's one of the things that is on our "feature request list", but unfortunately isn't an option right now.
