Minor change to Private Message system

I was looking into the Groups / Invite system, and why it would not send a PM when you invited someone to join an In-Game Group.

The good news is, that is fixed. Now, when you invite someone, they will get a PM letting them know they have a pending invite.

The bad news is, the "Quick Message" feature of a user's profile was preventing this. You can still send them PMs from their profile, you just need to do it by clicking on "Send Private Message" instead of the Quick Message box.

I'm still looking into a way to notify Admins when there is a pending request to join their group. In the meantime, Group Admins should check their main Group pages on a semi-regular basis to check for requests to join.

In-Game Groups can be accessed here: www.knightrealms.com/groups.html

Bugs?

When I click "You have [] new private messages." on the left sidebar, it takes me to "View My Profile" rather than "My Private Messages."

I'm also getting notifications when people join in-game groups. Should I? Do I have to?

Thanks Geoff!

Can corroborate Cassie's experience, also.

Currently on the Android mobile platform, i have no way of viewing pms. The usual link puts me in an endless loop.

Backing up what Jusden said.

It keeps sending me messages alerting me that a user joined the Adventurer's Guild. When I saw that I had 4 new messages, I got excited, until I realized that three of them weren't actual mail.

Yep, same here, Jeff. xD

I just approved 4 people to the guild, which is why you likely got the messages.

I figured the messages were legitimate, Jeff and I are just wondering whether it's necessary that we receive such notifications. It's such a bummer to think you have mail, just to realize that you don't! xD

I'm at DEXCON, but will check into these as time permits. It's likely a side effect of trying to let Admins know people are asking to join. -_-

OK, this should be fixed. I had to clear all old Notifications, I'll make a separate post about that.
