Allow kanban boards to be used in personal messages

Feature

Could you upgrade kanban for personal mesage?
It will be helpful to display messages in tags

If you want a Kanban board…

Make a private category assigned to a private group. Makes no sense in regards to personal messages… cause then they aren’t private.

Maybe I don’t understand the use case. But, an invite-only group-only assigned category will keep anyone else from accessing the Kanban board without your express permission. You can then assign a private tag grouping invisible to the rest of your forum.

In addition you could assign a custom 3rd party email (not your Discoure default) for group related messaging. Makes for an excellent private sub-forum and you can add in this Kanban theme to it if you have administrator assistance.

You can also make your group, or a related group, moderators of your private category.

There are so many reasons to use personal message, not a forum category.

Simply you know, that is reason why personal message exists, beside others. I just want to develop for only personal messages here.

Just be aware there is no advantage to personal messages as opposed to a private group. Both are equally accessible to admins.

If you PM me I can just add anyone I wish to the conversation at any time.
Any admin can read your personal message without your knowledge.
This is in addition to tags and categories and themes not applying to personal messages.

Just thoughts. Good luck on it!

It seems that at first. But you will make trouble when you try to use group like personal message for long time in forum.

There are so many, but I tell you this first:

  1. Admins love personal message because they do not want to pump ton of mess info to forum, which is duplicated and can not re-use for reader.
  2. If you try to use wrong function of group information, you will break up “search function” with mess info, and this will make discourse weaker to manage info in forum.

Like I said, so many other reasons. And that is why personal message exists, beside others.

Accessible yes. Visible, no. Private Messages that do not include the admin do not appear in any feed whatsoever. While anything in the Forum appears in Latest unless specifically muted.

Tags do apply to PMs (but only for staff).
