Read/Unread PM Counts

<< < (3/3)

CodeTRUCKER:
Yes Sir, your "Test PM" showed up and the "Unread" notice worked as advertised!

I am curious what exactly you and Josh are looking at on your screens?  Is yours the same?

mouser:
we all have same display, it's just that i somehow remembered that the unread count was on same line as total messages count. i knew that what you were asking for was already shown, just misremembered exactly in what form.

but i take it that now that you see this you aren't asking for any new feature?

Stoic Joker:
Looks like Code & I are working in shifts ... I think, in the interest of clarity, it would be nice to have something like the example that wreckedcars gave which is what Code & I were eluding to.

Sure if the other new message notice is there it's reasonably clear, but... if it isn't there it's not really user friendly to have to remember where something isn't. Adding the "You have 12 messages (0 unread)." Simply gives one the reassurance of at-a-glance clarity that there is nothing to do/check/see/respond to.

I would appreciate it if each of you would just pop me a couple of test PMs (I will not bother you with any replies unless requested), before I sign-off on Mouser's question.  

I have been giving it some more thought, but I need to see the feature again.  If it works out that way I am thinking, *I* would prefer it the way I think I remember seeing yesterday (sorry, memory is a fading commodity :P).  I think I recall the location where the "... and XX new messages." showed up actually served as a better flag than my original request IMHO, but this may not fulfill Stoic Joker and wreckedcarzz's's needs.

I will return to comment further once I get a look-see.

Thanks for the help! :Thmbsup:
