I send an Automatic message to all of my users, so I send out thousands (every time someone signs up they get one). But, when I want to search through messages I can’t and I have to scroll and hope I find it among the thousands of automated ones…I want an easy way to search for messages - any ideas? …

There is a topic on this, I have the same problem here on Meta – as all welcome messages come from me.

I had a bit of an issue with that on IC as well, when Akismet went nuts one day and I got a whole bunch of messages from System. It was annoying that I had to scroll past a couple dozen of them to find the conversation I’d been having earlier that day. I wouldn’t mind being able to archive that type…

[תמונה] AmiAthena: I wouldn’t mind being able to archive that type of message so that I don’t have to sort through them. My annoyance is obviously not on the same scale as the person sending out the automated messages, Expending on that thought, if some sort of archive mode were added, maybe …

[תמונה] dev221117: is it worth notifying every moderator for a reply to the welcome message? I think it could be. Someone replying to a welcoming message is usually a brand new user. Chances are that person is someone you’re still trying to entice to stay and become a member of the community.…
