Improving the Private Message System usability
Okay, besides wining about the votesystem, sometimes I like to be useful as well :)
I just realized that I've missed 6 PM's from the last 3 months. The explanation is probably that I'm mostly logged into CSDb on the company computer which is used by others as well (I tend to forget to log out from my user, don't mind if someone else uses the box), so the browser is used by 2-3 people who might refresh the tab where CSDb resides, and, restarting the browser also causes a refresh. And the situation is quite like the same with my home computers which I'm sharing with my gf.
Since the message system is well hidden, I never notice if there are new messages in my inbox, only if I explicitly go to the Private Message System from my userpage (almost never). I am not sure if this is actually a wide-spread problem, but a small change on the right column would help a lot considering its usability. Especially for those who use the message system more often.
So here's my idea, what do you think? Perff?

I think that's an excellent idea. I've missed more than one PM myself... |

Good idea, and you've got to love that screenshot! I missed a PM for a very long time until I stumbled upon it when I figured out there was actually PM functionality. |

You rule! :)
The only downside of it is that from now on I can't make silly excuses about missing the PMs I don't want to read when seeing who the sender is.
But at least I made a quite strong point about the last 6. Phew. |
