chrisjones6699 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 This is just an idea for the moderators. Would it be possible to display the PM in the email notification? The idea came to me after I lost the chance to buy some GMG nismo alloys a couple of weeks ago. If I had know how important the PM was, I would of made more of an effort to get on line to reply. I get my notifications through to my iPhone and think this idea would benifit quite a few people when it comes to trading or other important topics. You guys do an awesome job on here so I don't want you to think that I'm complaining. It's just an idea cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 The email notifcation tells you who has sent the pm and the name of the thread - which for me helps when I am particularly waiting for a response. Is it possible your iphone is not telling you the thread title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I get those details but I personaly think it's not enough. I'll give you an idea to what I mean. When submiting my intrest in the gmg nismos, I said that I needed a couple of days to decide and I was expecting a pm with a couple of photos showing suspension before an after lowering. So when I seen an email to do with the alloys, I naturally thought it was the photos, I couldn't get to a computer so I thought it could wait. It wasn't photos, it was a msg saying an offer had been made and that if he didn't hear from me, he would except. Guess what happend! Ive seen other forums send the pm in the email and it works well.

In the meantime I'll move the thread to the correct section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 its a nice touch i suppose, i've just got used to if its a pm its important, especially if your in the midst of a possible sale. if you have an iphone and you could check your email then you should be able to check the pm.

It's a right hastle to do and where I am, I'm lucky to get one bar! Emails on the iPhone are different, they come through automaticly.

chrisjones6699 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I do receive alerts via email, I was wondering if it would be possible to see the contents of a PM in the email that you receive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi, Ill have a look into this and see what the pro's / con's are of doing this. As Mike says, its not possible with the software in its present form, but there may be modifications that can be made to enable it. If its easy enough to allow this as an option then it is something that we can look to add. Regards, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
