Yup this is probably one of those stupid ideas that won't even last half a day. If you're interested read on, if not just pick something at random from the pole and go swimming in the pool out back...


Okay's here's the idea, short and simple and as uncomplicated as possible...

"You have a new private message on the forums"

Yup that's it ... when you get a private message here it shows up on the in game log. Why? well if you're in the game you might not always realize some one messaged you here. Beyond that there could be a link that takes you straight to your private messages.

As I said a rather pointless idea but well there it is in all it's glory.

If you think it's stupid, why would you post it? And why would you say it's stupid when you post it? Get some self-confidence. ;)

Anyway...
When I had someone bugging me on the forum, I didn't see a way to ignore/block them. So if they kept sending me messages on the forum, I'd get log message notifications in the game too.

I dunno who really uses forum PMs anyway.

Sorry, but I'm gonna say no. :?

Well they could integrate the two programs so that the ignore list in game affect who can message you here.

As for why I posted it if I think it's stupid ... some times I just get a bur in my saddle about an idea and if I don't post it the idea keeps just gnawing on me like a wolf in a bear trap till I set it loose on the forums to reek rabid havoc on anyone who crosses it ...

Besides, maybe some people just took a look to see what my 'stupid' idea was?

I think it is an awesome idea. Even though only a few ppl message me here. The Game Admins hardly answer any of their messages. I have only had a few mods reply back to messages that I sent.

Actually, thats part of why I looked ;)

Perhaps make this an optional setting?

That is true, I do wish more things were optional, like notification of FSP rewards... but I know that's how Cow makes money and helps keep this wonderful game free for most players.

As for Silv's post and some others, I realize that you don't get messages here very often, and yes there is a window that pops up telling you have a new message when you log into the forum, but some times you aren't logged into the forum so this would be a nice alternative.

If you use Fox Fire, or something else that blocks your pop up windows, it won't show, other wise it does when you get a PM.

Actually...you know. I just sent you A forum PM today lol. :P

And I know what you mean by your log would get spammed aswell with the noting of getting messages in your Forum PM, I wouldn't like that.

However, like Zuki said you could have it as an option, so if you don't mind getting spammed, you can turn it on, and if you don't like it, turn it off. O.o Lol
