Can we change the way pm's are displayed?

[steppemum]

I hate the way the pm's are organised.

I would like to open my inbox, see the latest posts in date order (as they are now) but then, when I click on a pm, I would like to see, hanging beneath it the whole conversation I have had with that person, both sent and received, like a mn thread.

Anyone else find this?

Yes, I agree - like an e mail chain or text message chain. Good idea!

hurray not just me then!

Oooh thanks for the suggestion.

We'll see what others think.

Oh! You mean all we had to do was ask Becca?

It's so frustrating have to flip between the PM sent and the one received. But I had assumed there was some insuperable reason why things had to be as they are.

gruach - yes that is exactly the problem, I end up with 3 tabs open, one with sent messages list, one with received messages list and one with the actual message I want to read open.

Another vote for yes please!

And while we're at it, any chance of the PM function in the app?

I would love to be able to put photos in to PMs.

Some things you don't want the whole world to see (like PFGC) but would like to send to 'friends'.

I read PMs then delete, especially since Jeffrey. What am I missing?

Oh yes would be so much better that way!

Yes, please. I'd like to be able to read PMs as a conversation.

I must get the wrong sort of PMs......

Thanks, everyone, do keep your thoughts coming.

Hi RedYellaGreen,

Justine posted about this in the thread she started when the new app was launched. Here's the thread and here's what she said:

We agree a search option would be useful and we're thinking about messaging too. We're keen to get a first version out there into people's hands and then update regularly with new features. Some functions are harder to build than others though so it will take us a bit of time to get there.

Great news - thanks for that, Dawn.

sparkling,
several times I have had a pm conversation with people over sending stuff eg on the school uniform thread. The conversation usually takes a couple of pms and then they send me/I send them an address.

So when I want to send the stuff I find myself trying to find 3 different pms under inbox and sent, in order to make sure I have the right stuff for the right person at the right address.
