    It might be useful for various internal things to have private messages floating between users. The case that came to mind was the system sending internal messages to Andy and Sara about new characters, users, etc. Would have saved me having to send my MSN address to Aran via WoW.

    Maybe, maybe not, who knows. It's an idea.

      Yeah this would be nice ~ maybe with the option to have emails sent to you to tell you you have a new message or you can just check your 'inbox' on teh website (or whatever)

      There's a branch off of my local git repo for this, it's not complete by a long way though. It'll come.

        The code for the private messages uses it as well, I was thinking about it all today and I need to figure out what we're doing.

        Because basically, there's now four bits of code that could use the same forum data structures:

        We have the forum code, which is fine and what it was designed for.

        We now have very basic news for the front page, which uses the forum data structures (you post in the forum and check a check box called publish if you'rr a guild leader).

        Andy was on about blogs, which again like news would kind of use it. Well I guess the news feed is a blog really, a post with comments.

        So I was contemplating private messages using it, as it would enable threaded conversations. I'll have a think best how to do that.
