Hi Folks

Could I make the following uCoz design upgrade suggestion ... Basically, I wanted to send a PM to a handful of our club members, but there is no way to do this. Ideally, a checkbox beside each user in the "List of users" screen with a PM button would allow me to do this.

1. Suggestion concerns: Pick & Mix a PM Group

2. The main point of the suggestion: Allow PM to a handpicked group of users via a checkbox system.

3. Argument (why uCoz needs this feature): Both me & my club members break of into seperate groups every Sunday, so need to PM those groups about preperations and gameplans. I could see this being adapted to all clubs who want to pick & mix users to PM.

Thanks in advance ... Walts

This isn't really needed. I'd suggest that you just Mass PM to a certain group or just do it separately.

Hi uCoz ... is this idea of PM'ing a group of users via a checkbox list likely to get any attention? Is the website templates coding open to everyone so I could have a look myself and see if it's something I could tweak myself? ... Thanks ... Walts

Balrog, use Mass PM feature. it allows to send PM to selected user's group.

Hi Kron ... Sorry, maybe I'm not explaining myself right. Currently we have 12 wargamers in a MEMBERS group. Mass PM sends an email to them all. I want to be able to break this group down, which changes each week to different groups of wargaming, so don't want to have to create and move registered members between multiple groups each week. I want to hand pick from the list of users ... Hope this explains things better ... Thanks ... Balrog

Kron, that's the point ... it shouldn't matter. In our club, our groups change size all the time ... sometimes 3 groups of 4, 2 groups of 6, 2 of 3 and 1 of 6, etc ... different members in groups each week. The PM has to be versitile enough to have a hand pick checkbox then PM ... is that OK to understand? ... Thanks ... Balrog.

Balrog, so lets think together... if you have 100 members, it's not difficult to set 5 checkboxes, but if you have 500 - it's harder, but if you have 1000+ members, you will never use such feature to send PM to 5 chosen users... you will use users search and send 5 separated PM with copy/paste opportunity.

So the necessity of suggested feature is really doubtful. You will spend not more than 2min. to send the same PM to 5 separated users.

Hey Kron ... yeah, I guess ur right. I'm currently just copy/pasteing just now to the small groups. I am used to using Outlook and choosing contacts to send a single email, but like I said, I'm just sufering just now by C&P'ing. ON the other hand ... it would be nice to do a search for users .. which show up, use their checkbox ... wink ... guess I'll never know ... thanks for looking ... Balrog.
