PMs!

A short question:

Is it possible to send one PM to more than one person at one time?

It appears that you can;t unless the way of distinguishing two people is something other than a comma.

It may work if you put a comma between usernames. I will be glad to test it out if I get permission from an admin to make another temporary account for test purposes.

I already tried with a comma, it proceeded to tell me that it was and invalid:

Quote:

Invalid recipient username. Please press the back button, enter the correct username and try again. Click Here to See the Members List

Just like i said the first time:

If it had worked, you, Remus, and andi, would have all gotten a PM with the subject 'Test' and the Message 'Test'

Commas are not how to seperate name apparently. And this page should show why.

Edit:apparently the member search doesn't change URl, gues they aren't permanent.... anyway what there was was 3 members witha comma in their name. /edit

And besides you think i would have made the first post denounceing the use of commas to seperate names without first testing it? Foolish.... :rolleyes:

Those are semicolons; They got messed up with the forum switch. I think they were < and > before.

You could always just copy and paste. Doesn't take that much longer...

Ascius, your siggy is taking up too much space, methinks.

I was attempting to link the the section after i searched for it that had these people:

6,SIX,VI
Ganon , The king of evil
I, Brian
Link,Hero of Time
WideBoy,NOR

They all clearly have intentional commas in their names. apperently if it is allowed to have commas in your name, seperting a list of people via commas would work.

I do not believe it is possible to mass-send PMs on this version of vbulletin or whatever we have.

Yoshi · #9 [ ] 10-20-2003, 05:13 PM

Aww, that is a pitty. Pay for a software when you can get a different software for free that is better?

*hugs phpBB*

Ah, but it's not nessecarily better. Think how easy it would be for PM spammers if thy could send it to everyone at once.. I'm glad we don't have that feature.

Mrs Ganondorf · #11 [ ] 10-21-2003, 12:47 PM

For me it would be quite useful because I have to send mostly the same messages to all my spam deputies..

lord-of-shadow · #12 [ ] 10-21-2003, 10:14 PM

Speaking of PM spammers, if anyone gets any advertisements from someone named Witchy-something or other, tell a moderator.

Cody · #13 [ ] 10-24-2003, 05:22 PM

it would be better if only mods and admins could do that. it would get rid of the spam prob.
P.S where do you download vbulletin

You can get it at vbulliten.com, but it costs money to download & use, which makes it one of the worst forum software IMO.
