What am I working on?

Nice job Kyle!

Just one question : will it be possible to message a user from a guest page like uddeim provides for premium features ? I mean for not registered users to contact registered ones.

Yes, public messaging will be available (default disabled). In addition to system messages and global messages (messages to all) for CB Moderators. Attachments will not be available (maybe possible using CB Auto Actions and CB Gallery; will be exploring this option). There will be no blocking functionality (likely be added as part of CB Privacy). There will be no archiving feature (this isn't email). It will use HTML (with or without WYSIWYG) instead of BBCode with option to parse BBCode (default enabled) and can also support plaintext only. Connections selector dropdown and multi-recipients features also supported.

Just an update on progress. Things are moving along nicely. Went through a couple UX designs before settling on the following which closely follows messaging applications that people are familiar with.



Still a lot of work to go and this is of course subject to change, but hopefully everyone likes the direction it's going.

Ok, have finally landed on the final design. We're moving to a more modern design with dropdown menus and using "meatball" icons. I've also splint sent and received messages into 2 separate displays using a filter as it was too confusing to determine who the message was really for, which cleans up the display further.





With the design finalized we're more or less on the home stretch with 1-2 views left on frontend and then the backend management of private messages. Once those are done we'll be ready for everyone to dig into the new built in private messaging!
