Added Popup Private Messaging

Found a very useful hack to the board. You can now send a PM from a popup window from within threads to the person(s) you want.

Finally, a useful "popup"

I also admire how this site erases all cookies when one logs off....I have never encountered any other web site at all that said that it did that. Impressive.

Meg, just click on the name of the person in the thread, and you'll see all the usual options. Choose "Send ______ a private message." At this point, it will appear as a pop up, so that you don't have to lose your place in the thread.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

That is great...I am not the most technologically advanced person, so I must ask, Rich, what do you mean that you found a useful hack? I thought a hack was a bad thing.

By hack, I'm assuming he means a module or a technical manipulation of sorts that allows him to add the aforementioned features.

Yes, a hack in general is any changing of computer code to bring out a new function...(it can have good or bad intentions of course).

In computer programming, you distinguish between elegant solutions done by the book, and "hacks" that get the job done, even if your old CS prof wouldn't necessarily approve of them.

The term "hacker" has been appropriated by the white hat crowd, and while it often connotes some level of mischievousness, often means creativity rather than illegal computer access or reverse engineering.

Is anyone else getting a default popup PM box that requires a scroll down to hit the Send button?

OK, then maybe Rich can change the default size of the popup? or the size of the text box?

yeah - thinking he could reduce the textbox by about 200px - like the quick-reply box.
