Mailbox Update

Love that we can now access our mail from our home pages.  Thanks for doing this...will be great when I'm at work and can still read my mail, even if I can't get in game!!

**Fixed per Sprot's note below**[Had a hard time figuring out how to open messages, since if you click on the message itself, it takes you to a new page that says file not found...but if you click on it just right - without touching the words of the message, it opens the message in the mailbox list window.]

(Check upper right corner on home page, next to credits for the mailbox link)

ETA: modified to note the issue I was having was fixed

  • Super cool!  Does this mean that mailing things (but not attaching) is free now?

  • Hi beachy - the problem you pointed out (file not found when clicking on the message) was a temporary bug and is fixed now!  Thanks for the feedback, and glad you like the new access!

  • Oh great!
    Thx for pointing out where it is, couldn't see it either ;)
    Does it change to Mailbox(1) or something when you get new messages?

  • Why yes it does...it's a pretty nifty interface, IMO.  (My only issue is going to be the 50 message limit...I'm going to be mailing a lot more now, I think...)
    Posted 7 months ago by b3achy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, i can verify that...one is waiting for me now!! NICE feature!!  Thanks! :)

  • Nice!
    Posted 7 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay! It's great to be able to read all those lovely messages when I've banned myself from actually playing :p

  • Grem Sketch: mail still costs 2 currants to send.

    b3achy: You'll be able to send as many as you'd like, but you'll only be able to access the latest 50 you've received until you delete some old ones.

  • Awesome Sprot...I will likely go broke Glitch-mailing now, but that's a personal problem...I really am enjoying all the nice little features of it!  Nice clean implementation...nice simple interface...nice messages when sending a message is successful :D

  • So if i am out of the game, and send to someone in game...will the frog still deliver as usual?
    Posted 7 months ago by im4noles2 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep.

  • Awesome! I love this. Thanks for making this part a little easier!

  • Nice! Thanks for the response so quick! :)

  • Been trying it out since I posted 27 minutes ago and I've been firing off messages from out-world. What a very nice update. ^_^
    Posted 7 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Very cool!! Especially since I'm always forgetting to check mail while I'm in game!

    Tysvm for this!!

    Will we eventually get to add and receive attachments this way too?

  • This year people will be able to register almost anything as a top level domain.  It would be really neat if TS registered glitch.ur and gave us email addresses such as walruz@glitch.ur.

  • Yep, yep, yep! ^^ What they all said! Thanks so very much for this new feature!

  • I just use the browser on my Droid phone, and yep...its on there too!  OMG.....i can actually BUG people in game, while i am on the go.  .......and lets not even go there, that i can sneak in at work, and mail away......lol

  • This is great! Is the 50-messages view limit going to be something that will always be true?
    Posted 7 months ago by Sirentist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ Sirentist..... Sprot's reply... thought i would jump in and let you know, since you havent gotten a reply yet. :)
    Posted 7 months ago by im4noles2 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this, devs/staff/all!!! Means a lot to me - for reasons I won't go into, not able to be in the world much lately, just change clothes & check the forums here and there - sure missed keeping in touch with friends, and this makes it possible - thanks again. (((TS)))

  • sgjo, re "Will we eventually get to add and receive attachments this way too?" — there are no plans for that: sending and receiving items will require going into the world.
    Posted 7 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Sprot:  Thanks for the reply, and thanks for adding the cost to the "Compose Message" page! :)
    Posted 7 months ago by Grem Sketch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @im4moles2: I guess I was unclear; I was actually asking if this 50-message thing were going to be a permanent limitation on the mail system. I have a ton of old messages that I keep for sentimental reasons, and I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to view the earliest of those without having to delete some of the later ones.

    Edited to add:

    I don't mean this to sound like a complaint. I just like to know what to expect, and from some hints given here and there on the forum I'd gotten the idea the entire mail system was going to be revamped.

  • Ty for answering my question, stoot!  :-)
    Posted 7 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Fantastic! Thanks for adding this feature to our home page.

  • I apparently have 5 (new) unread messages, but nothing appears to be there when I click on 'em... any thoughts? I've all but axed my inbox, but to no avail.
    Posted 7 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Djabriil, it's related to the auctions we haven't delivered to you yet. We have a bug on that one.
    Posted 7 months ago by kevbob Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Okay, thanks. Sorry to be a pest. I know you guys are working on it, just wasn't sure what that was (but probably shoulda figured it out, I suppose).
    Posted 7 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So, seems like you can delete messages this way when there are still attachments? Is this on purpose? Only wondering because in-game you have to take your attachments before deleting the message (I'm pretty sure). Just test-deleted a message about a cancelled auction (didn't want the item anyway :P) figuring that it might not let me, but it did.
    Posted 7 months ago by Bradamus Prime Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would love to be able to download messages (and replies) so i could quit saving all those sentimental ones and be able to use the 'delete read messages')   tool 

    Awesome to have this available!
    Posted 7 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It'd be great to have what WindBorn described, too. :)
    Posted 7 months ago by Millie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Windborn I have been doing that, too!

    Would it be possible to have check boxes to delete multiple messages? 
    Posted 7 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • By the way, I was just able to delete two messages that had attachments (auction deliveries).  

    Probably not what you wanted to hear.  
    Posted 7 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes WindBorn, Bradamus Prime mentioned that juuuust before you. :) We'll take a look! 
    Posted 7 months ago by kevbob Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay!
    A tiny suggestion: how about attachment item icons? i.imgur.com/bzfrN.png
    Posted 7 months ago by ping Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Nice improvement, thanks. I wish we could see our sent messages as well.
    Posted 7 months ago by Leksa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • that's so cool. Great Improvement.
    +1 to Leksas wish!
    Posted 7 months ago by Ancale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I take that back, you can see your own sent messages, but only if someone has answered to them.
