not exactly a bug but a missing feature. i find it useful to be able to quote a pm that has been sent if i need to send it to someone else, or send it again to the person that it was sent to as a reminder. in wedge there is only the possibility to delete a sent pm, not quote or reply to it.

AFAIK, no SMF-based software ever allowed to do that.
And yes, it has annoyed me a couple of times, too... ;) (Not being able to quote my own sent PMs.)

in smf you can quote and reply to a sent pm with no problem, it is just an issue in wedge.

I have just had a quick look and I have two PMs in my inbox, one I sent myself just now which has no quote option but in an older pm I have from June 13th, 2012 there is the quote option.

i mean the sent box not the inbox. or do you mean use conversation mode which would show the messages you sent?
Quote from emanuele on April 22nd, 2013, 02:03 PM is this a 2.1 only feature? i have not had issues that i can recall quoting a pm i sent to another person to someone else with smf 2.0.
imo this is a dumb feature if it was added to 2.1.

You cannot quote your own PMs in SMF (or better you can try to quote them, but you'll get an error message the moment you will try to send it.

actually that is not true, i just did that a few days ago with no problem at all.
actually on sm.org if you quote a pm that you already sent the next screen does not have a recipient filled in so you can send the message to anyone.

I filled the report above after I faced the issue at sm.org...
Just to be sure I tried again right now and if you click "preview" you get the error message.
Funny enough if you click "send" it sends the message... LOL

then that would be why i did not have an issue... i dont usually preview a pm i am sending before i send it.
i tested a preview with a quote from a pm to another user and no error message [on sm.org] but then this issue/bug should be discussed on sm.org and not here

Maybe I'm not seeing how to do it here yet, but I sent a PM to myself yesterday (I do that a lot for my own notes) that had an embedded quote from another forum in it. When I went to to quote it so I could use it in a post, there was no option to do this that I could see. I could have copied all the text but that wouldn't have reproduced the quote properly.
Can I not quote my own PMs for other uses?
Thanks.

Ideally, the PM area should behave like a 'private' topic, I'd say...
We can have these now, with topic privacy. i.e. you start a topic, set it to Contacts, and only your contacts will be able to see it. Once I get around to finishing my buddy rewrite, you'll be able to put people into various groups, so you can choose to have topics only for your family, only for your friends, etc... (I don't know how I'm going to handle that yet, though... Ah ah.)
But, err... I lost my way. What I meant is, we should have only the 'convo' view available, and show messages using the same code, i.e. the Display template... Or maybe, just ditch the PM system and instead create a special board which will get the private topics, but then you risk losing access to a topic if you're suddenly removed from the contact list, hmm........ :-/
