all good suggestions - ill put a spreadsheet together when I get home of "Development requests" or something.   U can't put a quote button unfortunately for the same reason as other PMs cannot be put into replies... it posts the form twice.  I spent many hours trying to figure it out to no avail - so when it failed even when all the code was right, i had to put it down to a conflict of diff technologies.

Hi Matt,

I thought you could have multiple forms on a single webpage. Have a look at the XHTML standard on the W3C official site.

Alternately, look at XForms (an XML derived standard).

Thirdly, if you make the Reply form a secondary form, then you could add a [Formar to me] button on the InBox message form, like you have the [Reply] and other buttons.

Finally, you could just add a profile option to allow the auto forwarding of the full message rather than just the notification that a message had arrived. That means we can decide whether we want to go onto the site and send a reply. :-)

It's good to make users come back to the site - rather than just looking at their PMs in an email.  We want returning visitors :-P   The issue isn't with forms, its a javascript issue.  If theres default text, then the javascript for some reason submits the form twice (Once with blank content and once with the full message).   I've been thinking of a way to resolve it, like creating a "threaded" type of PM string, so you can click to see the PM that you replied to.   It's all a lot of work though - for very little improvement to service.  For now, I think having the original message under the text box is good enough, and it also keeps the data to a minimum (No duplicate content in the databse everytime you reply).   The forwarding button, and "email me a copy" thing should be very easy to implement, and i'll do it asap as its a good feature thats easy to make.                                                                                                                                                                             

Ive added the "Original message..." bit to the reply box.                                                                                                                                                                             

"Email me a copy of this message" has been added to the reply box in PMs.                                                                                                                                                                             

Ive added the "Original message..." bit to the reply box.   Nice one Matt, thanks                                                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                                             

Just replied to my first pm without needing to take notes!!!

Brilliant Matt,huge improvement
                                                                                                                                                                             

I agree, nice one fella .  The site just keeps getting better all the time.
