Messaging Other Users is No Longer as Annoying as Carrot Top

18
Vote

by Pean

Talk pages have been around the wiki space for a very long time. Although they serve a useful purpose for discussing encyclopedic pages, they have been incredibly cumbersome for talking to other users (if I reply to a message left on my page, do I edit my own page, or their page??).

We have added a simple messaging system that is built into the profile page (with a new page that will show and let you browse all your messages). You can now send public/private messages to other users, and easily track a thread between you and another user. The text box will accept standard wiki text.

My apologies to Alex, whose super long talk page is now defunct!

they are still going to exist, just not be the central point for messaging

Oh ok cool, I actually complained about the messaging system a while back so this is cool. Haven't used it yet but good effort.

Love the idea, but shouldn't this be in the locker room?

This is such a shame... I like my super long talk page - it documents the entire history of everything I've done... Ah well, as long as it can always remain as a memorial to times past...

This is like the difference between this and this. The modern one is much more professional looking, but the old one was more liked. The traditionalists will always prefer the old one, even though the new one is better.

That, and the fact this technology is a direct rip off of Facebook...
