Haai,

I've just released the global messaging system across the vaults.

The way it works?

QUOTE(Sending)
To send a message you would do it as per usual, typing in the receipients name. the only difference? You must now specify which vault you are sending to. That's it. As long as the person is registered on the vault you are sending to, they will receive it.


QUOTE(Replying)
This is where the difference comes in. Obviously, you can appreciate that fact that the members database across the site will never be the same, simply because 1 person can register on each site - as they choose.

Having said this, everyone who was registered on Net-Forums will experience a more advanced version of the messenger because they are registered across all the forums with the same user id vault wide. For this, you will be able to click reply and just change the vault to where you want to send.

How do you know which vault it was sent from? In the message title, it will tell you the title of the message, as well as who it is from at which vault it came from. This way, when replying you can send it back to the relevant vault.

For members that are not registered vault wide with the same user id's recepients, you will notice in the 'sender' column that it is blank. This is because the person that sent you the message is obviously registered on a seperate Database than the one the message is being stored on.


I have a few thoughts from improvements in mind, I just wanted to get this out to you guys so you can have something for the mean time.

Any bugs, errors, etc. you find, as well as suggestions can be posted here and we will take them into account and fix/add them to the script.


Cheers!

Good work although it would've been 1209380237402374293847 times better if the message got posted to all vaults. Does this mean that if somebody registers on only one vault, somebody else can register on his nick on the others?

Fudzy, i did think about making it send to all the vaults, but i personally didn't want to have to mark the message as read 8 times. so i didn't do it that way ':D

with regards to nick 'theft' of such, i think will bring up the matter with the powers that be and maybe put in some safe guarding so people don't pose ':D

cheers ':D

Why couldn't we have a universal pm system? Better yet why couldn't we have a universal username & password? The hierarchy of this vault9 system makes no sense.

we are discussing these options at the moment so try and iron out other issues that we are having.
