"Reply to all" [Done]

[cena-rules]

yeah, I was gunna say, I'd also like 2gb of storage, a nice state of the art spam filter, blah blah blah. Can our screenames become @conquerclub.com email address's?

as my mother says

If you dont have anything creative to say

GET THE f*ck OUT

Well i'd like to think that now when 1TB costs around $150 a simple 'reply to all' button will not take much of resources but hey, admins would know best...

[GrimReaper.]

Agree.

[blacky44]

agreed

Tried suggesting this once and it didn't get much attention. Even included the link to the code from the PHPBB forums. I use it on my own forums and it works great! As far as spam goes, we all only get 50 messages, after that you have to clean your inbox out. This is a bit of an oversight on the part of the phpbb coders really, but this is the next best solution that board owners can implement.

A little good news, the new update to PHPBB makes the reply button automatically reply to all:

Release notes for 3.0.3:
- Reply to PM now includes all previous recipients and not only the original sender.

Topics merged:

"Reply All" Button for PM's received to multiple players - posts 12 to 13 June 2008 - first post here
'Reply to all' - posts 14 October to 13 November 2008 - first post here

Please remember to use the 'search' box (it's next to the 'new topic' button) to see if there are existing discussions on a particular suggestion. That way, if you find an existing discussion, you can join in and also see any useful posts - both for and against - that might influence your own thinking. It also helps to keep the forum tidy

I upgraded the forum to phpBB 3.0.3 and indeed the PM Reply button works like 'Reply to all'

Here is the full list of improvements in 3.0.3

[Natewolfman]

so is it always reply all then? because i honestly very rarely need to reply to all, and would just like to respond to the original sender... so do i have to now start a new PM and add his name there, or go through clicking the x on everyones name?

just wondering... lol

[jako]

yeah i didnt know about this and today i intended to reply to the orginal sender but instead it replied to everyone that the original sender had sent the pm out to, so long story short, i had to delete that pm, reply again but this time, had to click the x to everyone in the list but the original sender.

cant be separate it so that u have a choice to reply only to the sender or reply to all?

I got 30 PMs today because of this. I detect a flaw in the system.

Ditto. This is rather annoying. I'd rather have only reply than reply to all if it's one or the other.

Whilst I tend to agree with you guys unfortunately this is not something which lack can change ...

As lack explains he has simply installed the latest version of phpBB and this 'feature' is part of that.

If you want the behaviour of the "reply" button modified (like two buttons - a "reply" and a "reply to all" - would be nice) then this is something that you'll need to pursue via the phpBB website forums. Follow lack's link and browse from there to post in the right place.

yeah... this was a needed update, but implemented poorly (by phpBB). I'm sure they're already being told by many people how annoying this is.

Annoying as all hell is more like it.
