Ok here's another idea for the site... (since I'm allowed to offer suggestions for possible improvement)....

I think, especially for Moderators, it would be nice to be able to send the same PM to more than one person. Little announcements/notices and lol maybe apologies would be easier if we didn't have to retype the same message over and over again. There isn't a short cut on this already is there?

That would be helpful... you may be able to type several usernames into the "username" box, maybe separated by commas, like you can with regular email... I haven't tried that and so don't know if it would work.

I'm off to support group now and don't have time to experiment... just an idea.

nah, don't bother: it doesn't work that way SORRY no record of the user name....

tried different punctuation too.

and while I'm at it, wouldn't it be neat to be able to send someone a site-wide PM from chat... like when/if they leave quickly and you want them to come back or ask if they are ok?
Right now, the PM in chat is for chatroom only... and you don't know if you have a site PM unless you leave the room (or at least minimize it) to check ....

hey, there's nothing wrong with thinking :better ,right?

Ok the solution to that is to have a graphic setup like I have with two monitors... so I can keep chat open on one monitor and keep my browser opeon on the other and check the forum or PMs or whatever...

That's my solution to everything... THROW MONEY AT IT PMs

Seriously that would be nice but I'm guessing not very easy because the forum software and the chat software are two completely separate pieces of software. And there seems to be a lot of simple yet goofy things about the chat software... like you can't just paste something into the "send" box, instead it opens a separate box and you have to paste it in there and then it gets pasted into your message and then you can "send" it... lots of extra work.

With graphic apps there are often so many windows you need open at once that it effects working efficiency much more than just going between a few apps which is why a two-monitor setup is more common with graphic pros. It does spoil you to have the extra monitor available for simple tasks though.
