So I just realized that there's no way to forward a thread of PMs to another user. So I had to go and copy/paste every PM in the thread (it was short, only 3 PMs) into another PM. Lots of extra work - but a forward button on the thread view would be nice.

Another "would be nice" would be to have multiple recipients in a PM... I don't think it worked when I tried it just now, but it lets me enter all the usernames I want.

The multi-user PM will never happen...trust us, you don't want that (spambots ahoy!). And before you say that we could program things to stop bots from using PMs as spam, just know that Lego has put a bunch of work into foiling the kitchen bots that post every single day, and yet they keep coming (because they're actual living people).

So no matter what safeguards we put in place, a multi-user PM system would turn to instant spambot hell.


But it would be nice to at least have the 'multi-quote' feature in the PM thread view so you could essentially 'quote' multiple posts at a time (and then copy-paste that quoted code into a new PM at the very least).

You're right - I hadn't thought that far ahead about Multi-user PM. It would be nice though.
