I know this has been discussed before, but it has never made it to a vote so I thought I would create a new thread and try to list all of the improvements needed for telegrams, rather than having 10 threads with different suggestions.
This is becoming increasingly important now forts are here and people need to easily and quickly notify as many people as possible - via telegram.
1) Sorting
You should be able to sort the telegrams by name and subject, not just by date.
2) Filing
You should be able to create custom categories and be able to move messages (both recieved and sent) into those sections.
3) Forwarding
You should be able to easily forward a telegram.
4) Custom Mailing Lists
In the 'Add Recipicents' section you should be able to add your own lists, and add and remove players easily.
5) Better Identification of Failed Addressees.
At the moment, you try sending a mass mail and you can end up with the message 'A few addressee cannot be found'. It should tell you exactly which names are incorrect.
6) BB Code Buttons
I think the BB code buttons should be added to telegrams to make it easier for (and more likely that they will) people to link player names, town names. They should also add a fort bb code button.
7) Telegram ALL in a Town (As per The Yellow Dart's idea)
A quick button added to the town profile screen that says 'Telegram' much like in the personal profile which then opens a telegram and inserts all the town members in the to field seperated by a semi-colon. It would also be nice to just enter the town's name into a box like a players name.
8) Export Telegrams
One click of a button, and your whole conversation is formatted in an easy-to-read, in-date/time-order way that you can paste onto a forum post.
9) Better Navigation
Currently when you close a telegram, it closes ALL of the telegram windows. The whole system should work like the reports one does.
Can anyone think of any others?
