I can actually see how these would come in handy. Thank ya, buddy.

I just marked my unused notes tab as unread. That's probably the least practical use of this feature.

You don't use your notes tab to write down your plans? How else are you going to accidentally send your moves to your enemies?

TrPrado (461 )

I do it in messages intended for my allies, of course.

Wait, there is a notes tab?

i dont see the use of this

ss: when you open up a tab, but don't have time to read what was sent to you.

ssorenn (0 )
10 Feb 15 UTC

if you dont have time to read, why open?

TrPrado (461 )

Or if you have time to read it, but not to respond.

It's also good for "this requires a reply later".

It has been a fairly often requested feature, but like most non-core features, not everyone will use it.

I love this, A_T_C you are a hero. It does weaken my "Sorry I missed this message that I obviously wanted to ignore but I am pretending I accidentally opened the tab" strategy, though.

Thanks, ATC!

By the way, I actually use the notes tab quite often. (Sure, maybe it's for my grocery list... but it's dangerous to play this game on an empty stomach.)

The notes tab has always existed, it just wasn't always displayed. Fun fact of the day.

All the cool kids used the notes tab when it was still underground.

SandgooseXXI (113 )

It's great because I can just hit unread so I don't forget to respond to the country's notes I just read on the train on the way home.

Too bad ATC. Your measly ploy to make substantial improvements to the site to gain +1s has only garnered you +5.

(Come on webdip, you can do better!)

Tru Ninja (1016 )

When can we expect to see the "mark message as spam" option?

Tru Ninja (1016 )

Also...the last time we distanced the ready button from the save one was met with pitchforks and torches. Do you really think this world is ready for larger textbooks too?

Armageddon's gotta be close.

ghug (5068 )

Nobody was angry about distancing the save and ready buttons.

TheMinisterOfWar (553 )

I can't remember. I didnt check the 'demand your justice here' thread at the time.

JamesYanik (548 )

I demand Justice... here

So... you're saying the save and ready buttons need to be further apart? On it.

When I write a post and hit "tab", I want to "send", not to "mark as unread"; could you move this thing so "send" is the first option, instead of "mark as unread"?
Thank you in advance!

A_Tin_Can (2234 )
11 Feb 15 UTC

That's weird. Send is supposed to be the first tab option. I must have done something silly.

A_Tin_Can (2234 )
11 Feb 15 UTC

And fixed.

Just a side note - I know you didn't mean it this way, but "thanks in advance" is generally frowned upon when asking for change requests. A lot of developers (and I think non-developers too) find it presumptuous.

Also, if you thank afterwards on webdip, then people give you +1s!

Nescio (1059 )

That's quick, many thanks! :)

A Tin Can, good work! Just on a side note, different browsers may be freaking jerks when it comes to options in a <select> tag. Though I suspect they are getting better...

A_Tin_Can (2234 )
11 Feb 15 UTC

Orathaic: I'm confused - this change doesn't include any select tags. Could you PM me expanding on what you mean?

KingCyrus (511 )

Is there any way you could do this for PM's as well?
