Re: New "reply to IM" situation ? said by Maccawolf:Yeah, I don't like it either. I HATE popups and mouseovers. It isn't a pop-up (in that it doesn't pop-up unexpectedly, but on command, nor is it a window) it isn't a mouseover either, its a layer, so that you can deal with (read and reply) without leaving your current page.
If you need the message history, which is probably the case in 1 out of 5 messages for most people, you can get to it by clicking 'inbox'. |

I almost always need the message history. I write long IMs frequently and the replies are usually long. I generally need to refer to the history. This is irritating now. But then message history is only the last three IMs anyhow. It should be the entire message history for that person that one is taken to when replying as it used to be. And, as far I am concerned, you can get rid of the link to go back to where ever you were before you clicked on the IM. I don't click on IMs until I am ready to read them. I don't need to go back to where I was before because I have finished with that before I read my IMs.

Just click Inbox, like he said.
Do you use reply notification by IM? If not, you're not seeing the advantages of this feature for those who do. |

The great thing about this site: if you don't need something (like the link to go back to where you were before you clicked the IM), you don't have to use it.
Justin has given us tons of options on how to use this site. Just because you choose not to use it doesn't mean the rest of us don't. It would be nice if you remembered that as you're commenting on site functionality.

I don't need to go back to where I was before because I have finished with that before I read my IMs. How, in any way, shape or form, does this affect you if you choose not to take advantage of it? Most people read their IM's as soon as they are notified....just because *you* don't doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't have the option to return to where we were. Don't like it, don't use it, simple as that.
It's a great feature, glad we finally got it.
