Sub Group's for Friends List

Post by *Pixar* »

Concise description:
Be able to create multiple subgroups in your inbox for your friends list.

Specifics/Details:
For example, if I wanted to send a pm to fellow clan members, I have to go through my friends list now and filter out the people not in the clan, making it inefficient. Not sure if possible but making a subgroup and adding people to it, and let's say if I name this subgroup "LIONS". Would be awesome if I could go to a pm and just add the subgroup "LIONS" to the username box when creating a pm.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

-Less time consuming for the people who are sending mass PM's.
-Cleaner look, if you are able to group.

I think it's a good idea but as with all suggestions needs support from the community in order to justify the effort, let's hear from other people to see if they want it also.

Thanks

I'd like this for sure, I keep my friends list basically only clan members because of this.

I don't think it affects many people, as most people are not clan/tribe leaders, but it would be a very nice quality of life for those of us who are in this position.

I think this is a good idea but not something I would use.

However being able to create a list of users in a mailing list would be a useful feature, without me needing to add them all as friends first :D
Save me having an external mailing list for my tournament stuff :D

I would agree. Creating and saving mailing list/group for tournaments without having to add them as friends would be a neat feature as well.

Brilliant!
Why didn't any one think of this before? My friends list got too big to use.

This was one of the biggest headaches when I was running tournaments. Subgroups would help tremendously with time that many of us already don’t have!

Sure, wow everybody's socks off with a basic e-mail feature that almost every other message app in the universe already has.

...and after this gets done, start working on the really neato-cool suggestions too!

Apologies but having looked into this we are not going to be able to provide this, despite all of us agreeing it is a good idea.

The functionality is outside of our control as the forum/messaging software is third party software and cannot be configured exactly as we would need to.

Really?? ...or was this just meant to be a parody of CC's 'Never Say Can' attitude?

So shortcut : in one of your 3 inboxes you have a pm mail to /from all Lions included saved (you never delete) and you use that pm to reply to all (while changing the title of the reply mail and ofcourse the content)?
