Default Message Tracking

I noticed that there's no message tracking. Is this in the works? Is it possible to add it? This is the only forum out of all of the ones that I'm on that doesn't have it. Is it possible we could add this feature?

What kind of message tracking are you referring to? PM's? Threads?

Are these other forums using vBulletin?

Sorry about that, I wasn't specific.

I meant for private messages (PMs).

I believe there is a feature you can use when sending a PM that lets you know the other person has read it. But they have to acknowledge it and send it back.

You can also have your PM's copied to your "sent" folder to show you sent it.

Those are the only features I know of that come with vBulletin. If someone from IB passes thru this thread maybe they can elaborate.

I have the option that when I send a message, it stores it in my sent box. However, what I'm referring to is, when I send a message, it will go into message tracking, showing whether it's been read or unread.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, but I don't have that option when I send a message. Maybe just the moderators have it, but I certainly don't.

I assumed everyone had that option below their PM edit window. I will see if I can get this confirmed that only mods have it.

I can't say for sure if the mods only have it, but after reading your previous post, I tried to send a message and the option wasn't there.

That's what I thought.

Can this option be enabled for members as well? Again, all the other forums I'm on have this feature enabled for members.

Message tracking is very useful and beneficial in many ways.

I'll check with the tech folks. If it can be done, it would make sense, however, to hold off on any change until we upgrade the software -- something that's pending and should occur within a few weeks.

FYI i have that option.

i only recently got that option when i became a supporting member, so it must be one of the perks that you get if you become a supporting member.

The new updates to the VB software are being tested now. It is unknown when they plan to go live with it. We will be able to see what additional features this upgrade will provide.
