Title: Personal Message Format (Conversation)
Post by: RapTarX on July 03, 2019, 08:49:00 AM
I was trying to check my personal message which I have had with an user for last 2 months. Most of the times, we didn't quoted the whole message because it's irritating. But now, it has turned into more irritating. I am not able to follow the conversation because I had messages with others as well.

Is it possible to have conversation format of a certain user only?

'My Messages' -> on the left site click 'Search Messages' (click here for direct link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=search)) -> enter the username into the field 'by user' -> click on search -> profit

Thank you but I didn't get what I'm looking for.
If I follow your suggestion, system asks me to put a query(part of a message), but it doesn't execute the conversation. I'm looking for the total conversation with a certain user, for ex. bob123

Edit
If I put a query and check the box "Show full message in results", I get all the message from a certain user.
Thank you.
But it would be better to have the total conversation.

The best way achieving that would probably be using labels.

You can create labels, and add all message from a specific user to that label.

Unfortunately there is no more handy way to get the whole conversation to be shown (as far as i am aware of).

Unfortunately I doubt much will be done in this issue because sometimes in the future the forum will migrate to a different forum software.
There have been suggestions that something should be done regarding the PM system before. Take a look at this thread by 1miau as an example:

Take a look at the post by hacker1001101001 how it will look with the new Epochtalk forum.

How to create labels? It's a very interesting strategy, teach me master!  ;D

You need to enter a search query, and cannot use a wildcard in the query. You can get around this by searching for "e" which is a letter that almost every message should have.

Unfortunately, you cannot search your outbox, however people commonly quote all or part of a received message when replying.
