can we get the same sort of message inbox as ascended.
ie it shows you the message you're responding to when you reply.

Good one!

A similar (but not identical) update is on the todo list regarding Main.
Ascended's messaging being pretty much the same as Q's.


Can't promise a date yet.

yay, no hurry tomorrow will do

Solid idea

and if not too hard would it also be possible when you click on the pm for it to show in the message who its from and when sent,

I know it says that in the link that leads to the pm, but if you want to screen shot something someone sent it would be better to have that info available on same page as message

*note to self* dont send NyX sensitive information via inbox... she takes screenshots

well you're safe since I updated to a new laptop with windows 10 I have no idea how to screenshot anymore

bumping cause I'd still like to see a system like ascendeds where you have a copy of the message your responding to in the message reply.

Can you update your question given the context of the new messaging system?

Please list the features that are not in place but you'd like to see.



ps. Screenshotting under Win10
To Save Your Screenshot as a File. Press the “Windows logo key + PrtScn.” If you're using a tablet, press the “Windows logo button + volume down button.” On some laptops and other devices, you may need to press the “Windows logo key + Ctrl + PrtScn” or “Windows logo key + Fn + PrtScn” keys instead.

Using Windows, you'd think taking screenshots is simple. There is a button dedicated to this on almost every keyboard called the Print Screen key (abbreviated as PrtSc or PrtScn).

Pressing this key captures the entire screen (or multiple screens if you use more than one monitor) and copies it to the clipboard. But to save that screenshot, you need to paste it into Paint, where you can then crop and edit the screenshot and save it as an image. Ugh.

There are easier and faster ways to grab your screen in Windows. And, no, it doesn't require one of those expensive apps. Here's how you can do it -- without installing a new program.

Modifier keys

With Windows 10, a new screen capture hotkey combination was introduced. Holding the Windows key and pressing the Print Screen button will save a screenshot as an image, removing the need to paste the capture into Paint to save it manually.

By default, these screen captures will be saved at This PC > Pictures > Screenshots.

The problem is that this still captures the entire display -- including a second monitor if you have one. If you want to capture just a single open window without everything else, hold Alt while pressing the PrtSc button. This captures the current active window, so make sure to click inside the window you want to capture before pressing the key combination.

Sadly, this doesn't work with the Windows modifier key. Pressing Windows + Alt + PrtSc doesn't do anything at all. So when you use the Alt + PrtSc hotkey, you will still need to paste the capture into Paint and save it.
Try that NYX

in ref to new system it still does not show you the message you are reply to,

you hit the reply button and you get a blank form,

where as on ascended you hit reply, you see what the other person sent you, so you can know what your replying to.


@Restorm my new lappy doesn't have the printscreen key
(my old one/s have)

try search for snipping tool it allows you to snip all or part off the screen
it should be in your windows 10 apps
