but both would be cool.

one way that i experience most with my clients is that they need some sort of guidance.
so if you let them have too much options they just got "overstacked" and dont want to use a system.

the other thing is that searching dont really fell within the 3 click rule. i mean that the user needs to have more than 3 clicks until he can send the message.

1. click on pm
2. click on new message
3. click on search
4. press search
5. select user
6. send message buttton

better would be with autocomplete (of course search option is really usefull but maybe not so mass-compatible)

1. click on pm
2. click on new message
2.a enter name in AC
3. send message

ok just my 2 cents]]> Zo, 27 Jun 2010 07:59:08 -0000 searching has advantages that autocomplete does not have, and vice versa...

In a user perspective it would be nice to have both, so they can choose whatever way they want.

but for the user alone the autocompleter is much more usefull...]]> Za, 26 Jun 2010 23:20:24 -0000 Za, 26 Jun 2010 09:37:00 -0000 Za, 26 Jun 2010 05:32:55 -0000
just use autocomplete]]> Vr, 25 Jun 2010 21:14:00 -0000
I built this plugin because I sometimes got frustrated that I cannot search for a user properly when writing a PM. I always have to have reply, or search the names in other screens.

Well I have made an userpicker for that purpose:

It is a commercial plugin, so if you want some more info just PM me.. (name = ez)

A nice addition to PM... ]]> Vr, 25 Jun 2010 15:38:29 -0000
