I wrote a private messaging system for Stripcreator today and it's now online. It still needs to be tweaked a bit and there may be horrible bugs I'm not aware of, but it all seems to work. More details to follow.

To private message someone, hit the 'pm' link either on their Stripcreator homepage under their name or on the bottom bar of one of their forum posts.

If you have private messages, you must be logged in to see them. You will see a notification on your homepage and also in the header of the forums. Click the notification and it will pop open your messages in another window. From there you can reply to and delete them.

My hope is that this system will allow regulars of the forums to reach out to people who have made some funny comics but haven't joined the forums. So that you can invite the people you want in the communtiy rather than being forced to constantly fight back the people you don't want.

I realize it will be used for negative feedback as well, which is fine. But if it turns into abuse (flooding, especially) you will be blocked from using the feature or banned from Stripcreator entirely. Use common sense and everything will be fine.

My beautifull vision brought to life in under an hour.

A winner is you Brad, I'll expect many messages about how excellent I am for coming up with this idea.

you are excellent, Kajun.

Oh yeh... you too, brad.

Alright! Now people can actually SUBMIT SC-12s to me!

Of course, I'll probably be too lazy to read them.

Aw, crap. Boinky's signature was right. Somebody shoot me now.

You suggested this? In that case, I take back what my private message said about your maw.

An unimportant detail that I wanted to suggest: perhaps put a "report" (abusive post) option in the private messaging window?

I pray that we'll never have to use it.

I just read this for the first time. Brad, you are creating quite the full featured community... uh... thingy. Very nice.

Not that anyone bothers to pm the ole Spankster.

Bravo, Brad.

Thanks to all the good people who pm'd me and told me to stop whining.

Hey, at least you got a PM. Excuse me now while I go wallow in some self-pitying loneliness.

You can send a pm to yourself.

Not that I've tried...

hooray! now I can receive hate messages directly rather than fishing through the forums for them!

cool.
