Request for being able to view PM on mobile.


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't think of it to be too hard. use the same link that is on main page of neowin to show how many new PM's we have. using php to pull the info into a php or html file that is just text. I know i didnt explain it right but I think timdorr can do it.

It would be good to just get notification of a PM. Most people have access most of the time, so reading a PM wouldn't really be useful unless you could reply to it. That would just be too annoying... people PMing over the phone, jamming up the server more.

I say just get notification of a PM through SMS. perhaps with the PM's topic as the SMS message.

My only other concern would be that Neowin would have to introduce more ads to provide the SMS service.

SMS would be free. Most cellular providers give you a 2225551212@provider.com e-mail address. The only thing the Neowin guys would have to do is:

(Mock up of pref page)

[  ] Send PM notifications to cell phone
[          ] Cellular Phone Number (with area code)
[--Select Provider--] Cellular Provider

Item one is a checkbox, item two is a textbox, and item three is a drop down box. If provider supports e-mail to SMS, include them in the drop down.

On another note, I'm also for the PM via WAP page.
