Message Group filtering CONTINUED

[Qyasogk]

Firstly this was brought up by Sacha previously here: http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,4887.0.html

He asked for the ability to filter the list of messages by a particular group he was a member of. Which is a feature that I too desire, especially now at my characters are members of more than a couple of groups where there are multiple ongoing deliberations.

Dev Anaris somehow pulled the Jedi mind trick on Sacha and told him he could already filter messages by recipient and poor Sacha nodded his head and said thank you.

Now while you can put the name of the group in the recipient field, and get what I'm looking for, it's not AT ALL obvious that that can be done, akin to a hidden feature.

It would be much more convenient to have ready access to your groups via a drop down menu, the way you do for "Senders", only have another one for "Groups".

I believe the obscurity of this feature may have contributed to problem of IG conversations taking place on the forum.

It might also be nice to be able to see ones own messages to the group along with the others. It would essentially be a mini message board for a particular group! With you having to change very little.

You're basically describing the new message system that Tom proposed, and that the players didn't like. It's going to be quite some time before Tom tries to work on it again, because he's working on [explorers] and Might & Fealty, which will eventually pay his bills, while Battlemaster doesn't make any money.

That's a reasonable thing to add. Please write up a Feature Request.

I believe this never happened, since I have yet to see anyone give a skerrick of evidence of it.
