i-bystander Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 OK, I'm new here, so please pardon my rant. Am I the only one who thinks that the read receipt pop-up when sending PMs get annoying after a while? It's nice to be able to track messages, but not only is it confusing ("Cancel"? Cancel what?), it is also a waste of a click (or a keystroke). Please let me know I'm not the only one who finds this annoying... (I made a trip to the vBulletin forums already to find out how to disable it, but that's up to the admins.)
Brad Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 We've already had this discussion, lol: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=4462
i-bystander Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Brad - I see I'm not the only one, though I'm afraid the thread you linked didn't really solve anything for me! Can we do something about it? Or should we wait until more people raise a stink about it?
RossMAN Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Moving to Discuss GottaDeal.com forum I made some changes to PM's for regular members (but did not edit Admins). Is it better (less annoying) now?
bockchow Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 never had it be a problem but i've only had a handfull of PM's since i joined, all from Ross
RossMAN Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 never had it be a problem but i've only had a handfull of PM's since i joined, all from RossI am approaching 900 PM's
Guest Luckycharm Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 It's such a waste of a click! Git rid of it! <stomps feet> How's that for a stink?
Guest Luckycharm Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 What'd ya change ross? am still getting read receipt question............LOL!
i-bystander Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Lucky - He he he - I think that's enough for a stink! Ross - I'm still getting a read receipt request pop-up.
RossMAN Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Ok maybe it didn't work, I'll tinker with it another time. For now you'll just have to suck it up and suffer :)

MarkRaby Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I hate to be a devil's advocate here, but I really don't mind the pop-up asking for a read receipt. In fact, I like being able to know if someone read my PM (in case he/she doesn't reply to it). --Mark--
Guest Luckycharm Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Mark, you could still have it, most boards do, it just doesn't pop up in your face EVERY time you send PM, you can enable it though if you like the popups LOL!
Brad Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 OK, I modified the forum source code to no longer display the PM pop-up. Instead there is a checkbox when you go to write a new PM. By default, the checkbox is checked, so if you don't uncheck it you will be requesting a receipt, just that the popup won't appear.
