|
|
I've been a member for something like 7 years and just recently learned this. Do a search for "outbox", there is a LOT of needless confusion.
Suggest putting a note like this on the outbox panel? Then new members going to the outbox will know it, instantly.

I researched this on the phpBB Forum site and found this is a common complaint among people where users are confused.
Someone made a suggestion to rename them so I did that now.
Outbox is now Outbox/Unread
Sentbox is now Sentbox/Read
I hope this helps. _________________ How to Post Photos

Cool! Clever fix. New members will appreciate it.
Is it easy to change the sequence, so "message status" advances from left to right? Read is an action (reed). Or a description (redd).
It may add a small dose of confusion, and perhaps not necessary if sequence is intuitive.
inbox --> outbox/unread --> sentbox --> savebox
The main benefit is the sender now knows his PM has been sent, he knows the recipient has not "redd" it yet. It confirms sender has completed his tasks.
Just a suggestion of course,
