DEar Mr Jim,
i would like to suggest that there is a special button where members can send PM to multiple nick ..
i try to send some messages to my community members and i have to find each of them and send PM one by one.
Can we have some sort of shortcut , say "send to community member' or 'send to others' where we can add more than one recipient in the recipient name box........
i knew i ask too much already....but just a thought
thanks

Sounds like a great idea, specially interesting when leading campaigns and contact the members and so...

I haven't made very many changes to the PM system because it's a bit complicated (for securily reasons). What would be required for your suggestion to work would actually be multiple PMs. So for example you send a message to 10 people it would actually be 10 seperate records in the database, each one being able to be read and deleted by the recipient.
I will have to give it some thought. One thing I can do is offer newsletters for community groups on the site and you can manage the newsletter/mailing list. If that is something that sounds interesting let me know.

Hey Jim,
The newsletter is a good idea and would solve the item for managing campaigns. So, it's interesting indeed.

I wonder if there could be a newsletter type message system for group build participants? Some way to send out a mass mailing to just folks in a specific GB?
That way a net call can be sent to see if anyone needs more time or to advertise the opening of the official GB gallery.

Considering some of the comments about T-Terrific I would be afraid that someone would just spam the boards with PMs. I wouldn't mind limiting it to campaign leaders
