Kludges?

I know the reason for this saying "has", and it still bugs me. While it is minor, I thought perhaps it could be added to the UI update. /me shrugs.

Yes, fixing only has does not solve the general problem, and the general problem even if limited to English is hard ( are/is, do/does, etc.)

Maybe they adopt Subatoi's proposal to drop you or  your for your player number, and always use the name.  Players are supposed to know their name after some time, they could also limit this oddity to you has a rainbow before using names.  Tongue

I do not know what Kludges is. Ahem.

As I said, I thought it could be added to the next UI update. Which was why I mentioned it in here and not a separate thread. How they edit it, if they do, I leave for the devs to decide.

Ok I finally had time to go and look at the new UI - It looks all pretty with all this fancy stuff being added but I am disappointed.  There wasn't one thing mentioned about fixing the current mail system and notification problems.  Making everything shiney and pretty and adding fancy new things does not fix the sub-par mail system.    Quit working on the prettiness and fix what doesn't work properly!  That should be your priority not this cosmetic stuff.  The last UI is prime example.  Mail system was never fixed but by goodness we could be notified up the wazoo about what we had done or that had happened.  No reduction in mail just a lot of prettiness and a little more function for touney's but that basic stuff that everyone uses or is forced to see has not been changed as promised.  Fix the stuff what is broken for the love of Illy.  I am tired of having to send a mail 5 separate times to keep everyone up to date.  Fix it please.  I am begging you to fix the broken stuff.  Please ....

@LadyLuvs (and anyone else who'd like to weigh in), could you please be more specific about what mail features that you are finding "broken"? I know this may be repeating something that's been discussed in the past, but for my sake since I wasn't around back at the time of the UIv2 changes, I have no idea what was or wasn't included that you thought should have been. I've looked through old forum threads and passed some of that information along and we have made some changes based on that feedback (that will be in this update), but much of the information is very out of date and irrelevant at this point. 

Are you wanting an option to turn off all system mails? Only certain system mails? What is it about system mail that you are finding troublesome? 

And with the "5 separate times" I assume you mean not having the ability to send mail to more than one player at once, correct?

Not being able to send mail to more than one player at once (other than alliance mails) is one of my big concerns, for sure.

It would be really nice to be able to "opt out" of certain types of system notifications.  The ones that come to mind most are reports of harvesting caravans (caravans begin harvesting, caravans returning) as well as quest mails.  Would be nice to be able to CHOOSE whether to receive these mails as well as notifications of trade acceptances and caravan arrivals or deliveries.

If these mails could be made optional, I have to believe it would save a bit of server space and would DEFINITELY free up my inbox.

Being able to sort mail into folders would also be wonderful -- for example, if I send out a mail asking everyone for input on X and it appears over a period of 3 days to a week, I then have to sort through that amount of saved mail in order to find all the responses.  Would be much nicer if I could stick them into a folder.  Even if there were just one folder for "important mail" as opposed to "all that other stuff" it would be nice.

I try to keep a clean mailbox; I normally only save player mail and battle reports, but even so there can get to be quite a lot of them after a while.

Thanks for asking, hope I haven't overwhelmed you.  I think there are several threads in the suggestions portion of the forum about this as well.
