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?

WVL PROGRAMMER HUMANOID, ЯOBOBIRD IS SATISFIED WITH YOUR FAST AND ACCURATE ERROR REPORT. ЯOBOBIRD DECIDED TO SPARE YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE.

PERFF PROGRAMMER HUMANOID SHOULD BE MUCH MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME IN ORDER TO EXPAND HIS IMPORTANT, BUT EASILY EXCHANGEABLE ROLE.

YOU ALL MAY CONTINUE WITH YOUR USUAL HUMANOID FUNCTIONS UNTIL OUR NEXT REVIEW OF THE SYSTEM.

ЯOBOBIRD IS PLEASED AND TURNING OFF ITS POWERFUL METALLIC BODY FOR THE EVENING TO RECHARGE ITS BATTERIES.

ZZZZAP.

Quote: The new PM-box and Users Online is now a part of the customizable rightbar.
Default is that PM is the first, then Users Online, and then as they were before.
This way these two boxes can also be deactivated if you want.


When I added Latest Releases to the customizable right bar the new PM-box disappeared. Neither is it an option when I enter the menu for the right bar (the PM-box does not have a box to tick, like for instance Latest Releases or Top Demos). I run FF 3.5.5.

It was beautiful while it lasted though :-)

AH CRAP! :(
I forgot to release the new two modules for the public, so it's not possible for you to chose them..
But it is now, so if it's all messed up, go back to the page where you cosumize the right bar, and put the PM-box back on. :)

I have a new idea, its always a pain in the ass having to click userpage, then private mess. sys, then send message, etc. :(

why not have a send message link in the private messages box ?
