Hello people,
I'll elaborate on what the title says a bit.
The "Conversations" section as we now call it, is somewhat...unintuitive.
First, it doesn't give any alerts of any new PMs. Sure, the old JavaScript can be dangerous for security reasons, but something like the "Alerts" system that we have now will also do.
Secondly, bulk deletion can be a pain. I have to actually open individual messages to delete them (well, not delete them, but "leave the conversation"). How about a check-box like we used to have earlier? To reduce unnecessary clicks.
Now for Facebook integration.
As Bobcat earlier pointed out in another thread, Facebook is well known for security issues, and as Matthew once pointed out, also for crappy privacy policies. I don't know what others think, or if I should be saying this, but IMHO the integration is better removed. And with world powers poking their noses in everything from wallets to confidential business and private documents, I don't think that needs to be further explained to anyone whose aware of what's happening to the internet.
*EDIT: How about locking news older than 1 weeks or more? I've noticed old news threads cropping up (necro-bumping), and thereby cluttering the "recent" and "new" posts/threads field. I think it's already set to auto-lock by default though. Anyway, just a thought.
In a nutshell: 1) Is it possible to implement an alert system for private messages?
2) Is it possible to "disintegrate" from Facebook?
