supernova_00 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 when I go to http://wap.neowin.net I can only view Main News, Software News, and Gamer news. Could you guys add so that we can read and send pms :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova_00 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 i am sure timdorr can do it but it will take time. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambooo Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I managed to do similar things with ease using the phpBB2 forum system. Very easy to implement WAP features me thinks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicfume Veteran Posted June 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2004 I like that feature too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 It would be awesome, but would we be able to read the PM's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Baby Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 hmmm it could be done - but sms system will be expensive1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice912 Veteran Posted July 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 8, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Damn, am I the only person around here who doesn't ever get PMs? [edit] That's private messages - not PMS! [/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
