This is a little bit of a tangent, but regarding sorting / searching through PMs... man, I would kill for such a functionality! Unfortunately, I think it's a lot of work... but just yesterday I was going through my PM pages hitting "Ctrl-F" for "Ramos" to see what pics I had sent to Ramos Asura for some painting he's doing for me. Since I send and receive a lot of PMs, this can get a little tiring

I don't think this will be happening soon but it would help with what people are asking for here (an admin checking how much communication they've had regarding a certain person / topic) and with a whole host of other things, too.

That would be kind of cool. Although I end up deleting PM's as I go, to keep it to one page of PMs.

I don't get PMs.

One man wolf pack!

You know you can see every PM ever from a single user by clicking on the 'thread view' link next to any of their PMs? You'll still get multiple pages if you've had quite a lot of PMs to/from that person, but it makes it a LOT easier to search through your PMs from them.

What!?

This changes everything.

Yeah, I also did not know about that. Super helpful!

I know, right!? It's new to me also... We need a "Dakka tips and tricks" video or something!

Yeah, we could stickied it at the top of a forum so no one would ever read it
