How To Send Mass U2U?

Hey everybody.

This is one of those questions I should know the answer to, but I don't lol.

How do I send the same U2U to more than one member? I figured it would be something like put a comman in between the names in the To: line, but I can't ever tell if it worked or not.

A little help please?

a nice thing would be to add some feature to create groups

to check if you friend posted somewhere

to check if someone replied you or quoted you, I dont think this exists

EASY!

you add a comma and a space after each individual members name.

For example

ugie1028, tothetenthpower, skepticoverloard

It kind of works like e-mail.

Hope this answered your question.

However it's against the T&C:

2f.) Private Messages: You will not use the private messaging system (U2U) to send mass messages to multiple member accounts. All private messages are subject to these terms and conditions, violations will result in immediate account termination. You also agree that "U2Us" (Private Messages) are confidential. You will not post or publically display U2Us received from ATS staff or any other members, in any way, without the written permission of the author. The Owners, at their discretion, may review the content of your private (U2U) messages when, and only when, complaints are received from the recipient(s) of your messages.

ahh i didint know that!

good thing i never did that... But i Mass U2U'ed mods with a question or two in the past, never to all members.

Interesting...

Really?

Reason is, I made a new thread today and wanted to send a U2U to 3 or 4 of my friends to let them know to come in and have a look.

With flood control I always have to wait a minute between U2U's, it's very annoying.

Great point.

What if the "Mass" U2U is to a small group of like minded willing to receive members on your friends list who would be interested in a topic of a thread?

Double great point...

Sorry guys, I don't know the tech issues behind this but I'll find someone that does.

I think mass U2U'ing friends is one thing, but to all members is another thing.

I could be wrong, but anyone want to clear that difference up?

thanks!

Very much appreciated.

Ah ... the art of stealthy thread pimpin' begins with clandestinely inserting what you believe is a crucial thread of yours in a post so that no one is none the wiser!

That of course would be wrong and rather insecure.

Have you been talking to those damned garden gnomes again SD?

What did we tell you about inserting threads in the "a" lol.

Clever...

What's up Dawg?

Sorry to hear abutt you hurting your bottom.

Therein lies the beauty of such a thing... many a great thread I would miss, without the use of such tactics.

Popping off a U2U to a couple or few - half dozen or so, for that matter - really wouldn't seem "spamming" ... 's long they're welcoming recipients and "complaints" aren't being filed/made ...

... only then does it become an issue.

well. that and when someone sends a U2U to "Who's On"

reply to post by 12m8keall2c


Ok, that's good enough, I don't think have more than a dozen people I U2U with on a daily basis anyway lol.

But thanks for the info, I will now U2U without fear .

Ohh and what about Flood Control, can we turn that off? Or does it really make that much of a difference in server use and bandwitdth?

"Flood Control" is in-place to minimize/prevent just that - private message spamming.
