When you 'send' a PM, a dialog appears with Ok, Cancel as options.
Can OK and Cancel be renamed respectively to say Yes & No to align with the dialog question (something about saving...).
Have a great VB day :)

That would be nice.
Unfortunately there's no way to control the button captions in Javascript.
but there is in vbscript, it would be possible to detect IE and make it a VBScript for that one function instead of javascript.
Alot of stuffing around for a word change though, hehe.
EDIT: I tried adding it to my vbf wrapper, but it was too difficult, there is only so much that i can do to the active scripts, changing a js function to a vb one i'm afraid doesnt seem possible.
Why do we even need that msgbox? It could be an option of some kind on the screen (perhaps a checkbox).
Then it would only function with IE. No can do
Wel will just require everyone to use IE :D
How about changing the PM page template?
Re Rhino's and JPnyc's responses: Good idea Rhino, it should be a user preference; that makes the most sense.
JPnyc, excuse my ignorance, could it not operate like other user preferences on the User CP so it's effective under all browsers?
From a VB standpoint - 'Subclass' the bugger! ;)
Bruce.
A agree 100% with Rhino. It should be an option down with the others below the message textarea. It does not even give you the option if Javascript is disabled.
It would simply be a matter of changing the PM page template as Rob said, from this
to this under "Miscellaneous Options"HTML Code:<input type="hidden" name="receipt" value="0" />
Edit: And of course removing the popup box.HTML Code:<div><label for="cb_receipt"><input type="checkbox" name="receipt" value="1" id="cb_receipt" checked="checked" />Request a read receipt for this message</label></div>
I agree with Rhino and Pengate. It isn't necessary to have a message box pop up every time a PM is sent. It could easily be added as an option next to the "Save copy in inbox" and "Show signature" options.
I thnik I'm going to make a special note in my calendar: not one, not even two but THREE people agreed with me all in one day... :) :p :D :lol: I'll drink to that...
make that four, i agree with you also ;)
You've all been beaten to the punch. vBulletin 3.5.4 does just that. It is set to not request a receipt by default as I'm guessing that the vast majority do as I do and press Cancel on that dialogue.
Okay. When are we upgrading? Or are we?
Probably not for a while unless the new version had some major benefits from upgrading. Remember that it costs allot of $ for the developers to upgrade all 30 sites and re-apply hacks and do any fixes from any complications that may arise.
Hopefully soon though :)
v3.5.4 does have some nice features, like in-place editing of posts. Obviously you'd have to weigh the benefits against the cost. Maybe we should pass a hat around. :)
Oh I could see the replies about that already. :D
"But we have Ads on the site so why do we need to donate?" :lol:
Why the vast majority would do that? By selecting to receive a confirmation you won't receive another PM, you can see if the PM has been read or not in the message:You have 31 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed private message receipts.Quote:

It should be No as I almost always click cancel. What the importance of any communications that are not pertaining to code of conduct issues? Its basically nothing more then private chit chat.
Plus, its sometimes a bother to click "Confirm" when receiving one. Just another extra step for unimportant type PMs if you ask me.
I don't care much about how many messages confirmed and how many not: if person wants to reply he/she will do that so I will receive something back...Quote:

It is not a matter of money, but a matter of developers. We also have about 160 web sites, a graphics division, and more. Our developers are kept overly busy and they have lots of projects lined up to be done. As such, when you start prioritizing the upgrading of forums versus many of the other projects, the other projects tend to win out.Quote:

There is also a new site being developed for my team that might be of interest to you guys as well (can't give details on that because it is confidential), but look for a launch in a few short months!), or many people have been clamoring for a contest -- there is something big, big, big in the works there. And that is just part of my list of items in the queue with the developers -- and I only represent about a dozen of the 160 or so sites.....
So, I'm willing to consider any changes to this forum. Some Joe (JPnyc) and I can do, but if they require our developers, then justification has to be pretty strong (things like the VBCode button are examples of important coding initiatives on this site).
<< see, this whole response was really about getting people to check out the Video articles ;)
Brad!
Sounds like a state of the forums address to me. ;)
Awesome news Brad! Thanks. I'm looking forward to see how this "big, big, big" contest will play out. I'm all for it.
:thumb:
Fantastic video tutorial Brad! :)
Spam :D ;)
False advertisment, 3:54 seconds and not 2 minutes, but very good tutorial. :D
What did you use to record your actions and voice?
Just wonder about the status - are we getting anywhere yet?Quote:
