New PM system

Ive been doing some selling and trading lately and the current pm system can get very confusing if you are talking to more than 2 people. if each conversation was organized by member (kinda like text messaging on iPhones or whatever smartphone) I think it would be much easier to see who you are talking to about what.

What do you guys think? any other ideas?

i know what you mean. If you look back at your message history instead of seeing all the messages, see who you have messaged and then see your pm's between yourself and that member.... basically like email... idk if it would be good or bad though

YES, message history should very much be like email.

Ummm.. Really? lets say you have 4 conversations going over the span of a week. I know i cant remember what random names go with what conversation or who is selling what. and the only way to see message history is through a new message.
but if you are smart enough to keep it all organized in your head then a slow clap for you sir

PMS should be IM's in my opinion. sortof like FB chat, would be easier to Sell/trade/buy

exchange messages with a member
go to their profile
click upper right hand corner -> 'view msg exchange'
get complete message history with that person ....

it's basically what you're saying in here, right ?

yeah i guess i have never seen that before, somehow, but even in a more centralized location, like the "message inbox" is in an email format

Sort of, but a more succinct grouping of names. So instead of going back 10 pages because you forgot the name of the guy you were pming a week a go. You'd only have to look at the first page of the last 15 people you messaged.

I would love something like this, lately ive been doing some b/s/t-ing and it can get a little confusing. i usually just go to each members profile and hit message history but thats pretty annoying

imo you have to be pretty simple to have a hard time with the current system.

there are some flaws though, as pointed out.
