I find the Chat
button on the user cards super helpful and use it all the time:
However, it can be quite a pain to direct the recipient to the topic I wish to refer to (if there is one). Doing this requires several clicks. If I wish to quote something it is even worse:
- Highlight text
- Click
"Quote
- Copy the markdown
- Close reply and click
Discard
- Hit
Chat
button on usercard - Paste the markdown content
In /u pages
However, when I’m in a User Summary (e.g. meta.discourse.org/u/sam) it isn’t possible to initiate a chat directly:
Suggestion 1
Could we also please have a Chat
button on the User pages next to the Message
button?
Suggestion 2
If a user hits Chat
on a usercard in the context of a post, could the chat start with an (easily deletable or optional) link to the post as in Personal Messages?
Yes, I know I can just use a Personal Message, but often an ephemoral chat feels a warmer and more appropriate way to do it.
Suggestion 3
If a post is initiated by "Quote
, could there be an option to make it a Personal Message and / or a Chat?
