Hi,

individual messaging used to give a feedback in form of

but this doesn't seem to work anymore.

Tested with

Due to missing feedback, I had to manually check that the messages were really sent.

Edit

If you wanna test just /msg [$YOUR-ID] a message text

    I noticed it few days ago. IIRC, there was a discussion somewhere about streamlining the message procedure - I can't find it anymore. Might be related.

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
      yes there were two patches at 2024-04-04 08:38:16 related to ShowChatMessages

      Tho I can't see a direct link to the code displaying the "You said" message.

      As a pmdev you can see that by yourself using features of the pmdev-nodlet

    Another fix or (even improvement) might be to add the output 'recently sent' beneath Message Outbox.

    Often messages lack context, having at least my messages from the last 24h listed would help.

    Or at least the link to those messages...

      ... add the output [of] 'recently sent' beneath Message Outbox

      Done. It only shows messages sent within the past 24 hours, and limits the number to 5. Click 'Recently sent' if you want to see more.

        > Done.

        That's cool thanks. :)

        > > ... add the output of recently sent beneath Message Outbox

        FWIW: the messages are shown in the Chatterbox Nodelet not the Message Outbox¹

        For those interested to test, just /msg yourself 6 times

        Update

        ¹) But I think that's a clever compromise, between full features and ease of implementation!

        Thanks 😁

      Patches welcome!

    ... this doesn't seem to work anymore

    Still broken ... which I find really annoying, when sending private messages.

    Cheers,

      FWIW, I "recently" (cough) implemented the 'recently sent'° feature in the chatterbox

      It's clumsy, but till it's fixed, you can check if your messages were send. :)

      HTH! :)

    For me it logs my 'told User ...' in the Deleted box. I can move it from there to Inbox or Archive. If I send it to myself instead of saying 'told Danny ...' it just displays it as if it was sent to me like 'Danny says ...'.

      Sent messages have been put into the sender's 'deleted' folder since the very beginning (afaik).

      It has always been like this, and I'm struggling to see what the problem is.

      Could you please elaborate?

      IIRC it was me (I?) who implemented the "Recently Sent" link after discovering that sent messages were kept in the Deleted folder for 24h.

      Update

      Yep: Chatterbox: NEW link to sent messages

        I didn't mean it was a problem. Your post said you weren't getting feedback on messages you sent. I thought maybe you didn't realize you could see that info in the Deleted box. Just a misunderstanding.
