Please use this opportunity to feedback on what you feel is necessary to be incorporated into the Message Center in order to allow integration with the message center. For example, who should have editing/deletions rights? What kind of external links do you have? Is it a link to an external blog/database?
Answers to your examples:
- Definitely moderators.
- Official FoE Wiki and FoE Forum (game already marks also this as a spam in messages outside of guild, haha), inofficial Fandom Wikia, many external links to useful websites or links to screenshots.
Another ideas based on Guild Forum funkcionalities:
- Individual tabs in Guild Forum can now be intended for differently large circles of players, but Message centre doesn't allow that. Or will the Trusted right be only for GvG?
- Will Message Center conversations continue to be sorted by last message date or by importance?
- Unlimited number of characters (no need to send longer texts divided into several messages which is confusing now).
- Hyperlinks that would be enough to click on.
- Text formatting (color, bold, italic, etc.).
- Option to search for text using Ctrl+F or F3.
Ideas based on Message Center inadequate grafics or settings:
- Which is the Notifier right now for?
- Why we can't turn on/off mobile notifications for each guild thread separately?
- Thread names are very confusing. When I'm looking for a specific one, the search takes me unnecessarily long. Why is the date and time on the same line as the topic name itself - and also in bold? Then look for something... Before it was better laid out, the date and time belong to the player's name and to the preview of the last message on the second line. What we do now to have guild threads more searchable? We have put on a keyboard "space" manytimes to the end of all thread names!
- The same applies to individual messages: the date, time and name are sufficient to have it down and in lower case. Let simply the message start with the text...
- Messages from one player should be "snapped" to each other as before... it is then clearer what everything one player wrote in a row and when the messages of another player start. This is how one sometimes wonders where a series of messages that can be assigned to one avatar ends and where another begins.
- The fact that the size of monochrome bubbles depends on the size of the text does not contribute to the clarity in individual posts. In connection with previous points it's sometimes very confusing...
- Some elements such as attachments or fonts are unnecessarily large. If you want to have it really this big, then enlarge the avatars and names of threads (approx. 1.5 times), whether it is at least unified or appropriately hierarchized, just let it be meaningfully designed. But I'd rather not, because it's already too big.
- Why is the message overview in a small version that you have to focus your eyes, but as soon as I open a specific message/conversation, there is text and most elements in a completely different size, that on the contrary I have to look at it from a distance?? When I get used to one, I can't get used to the size of the other and vice versa.
- Why is the first message always framed on each page of messages?? Is it like a remnant that the pinned thread "guild: XYZ" was originally on every page? But when it's not there, put the box away, that's just confusing now...
- When someone from the guild leadership (shouldn't every "notifier" have the option?) marks a thread as "important", that thread should be pinned at the top just below the "guild: XYZ" thread. The gold bar is fine, but it's not enough, I think.
- Unify the guild thread controls into one icon - why are the functions in the upper left divided into two icons?
- In the Guild section, not every member should be able to create threads. I do not understand the meaning of such a change for the worse, that's for each member had more freedom? Let him use already available threads or lets him create it in the social section.
- Players with the "notifier" privilege should be able to intervene in guild threads only (or later also moderators). Now anyone can delete an entire thread for the whole guild at any time! So it hasn't happened in our guild yet, but I read that it has already happened elsewhere, and only by mistake...
- Guild members with the "notifier" right should also be able to remove someone from the guild fibers individually. Sometimes it is of great practical importance. Thus, if someone is constantly messing up something (unintentionally or even purposefully), the only way to get the person out of the thread will be to expel him from the guild.
