ETA on the Private Messaging System?

[Meikura001]

I am kind of curious as to the ETA of the reparation of the Private Messaging System since I am pretty much in the dark. There are a few things that I need to voice that shouldn't hit the open channels, and I am holding out on such until it gets fixed so any info would be really helpful. Thanks ahead.

PS, even if there was an alternative communication method for privacy, it would still be a compromise as personal info might be out and about.

vBulletin support never got back to us. I will search other options on my next day off, next week sometime if I'm lucky. I know there's a way to set up a subforum to allow people to post a thread that only that person and the mods can see, but I'm not sure if that is bugged too. I'll look into it later.

There are other means of communication, and I do have accounts for just about everything set up so my privacy is never at risk, but there's no way to verify who we are on a third party application, so I tossed that idea out the window a while ago.

If it's absolutely necessary that you speak with us in private, you can give me a character name and server and I can meet you there. We can utilize the game's messaging system for now. Granted, it does require us both being in the same place at the same time.. and I am concerned about imposters trying to get people's personal information this way. We'd have to always verify through the forum, or I can see if they'll let me hijack a mentor account if you would prefer that.

Thanks Memory. In the time I did moderation for another gaming developer/host so long ago, there was a hide code function where members can use such to send a message to the moderating team in an open post/thread and only the moderation team will see of such. It was used mainly for when we had events that require members to answer quiz questions and keep those answers hidden from others; and we would reward those with the right answers. I don't know if these forums have such that can be utilized.

Anyways, thanks for letting us know and providing a "temporary" avenue should the need arises.

That exact function doesn't exist, but there is one that does. Unfortunately, we have to wait for more memory to be allocated to the forum in order to touch anything else. We are looking at another option that doesn't involve game visits or the sharing of private information. I'll post when I know more.
