[OSM-talk] Sending a message to a user from the website
I'm sure I'm missing something, but how can I start a message to a user from the OSM website? I'm in my profile, Im in my messages, but I don't see an option anywhere to start a new message. I have done it in the past, but that must have been from the old site. What button am I missing?

There's a button Send message ;) Regards, Peda -- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Yes, we could do it like it works with email - you get a text field where you write the user's name and if you misspell it (e.g. you lack a trailing space or so) then after a random delay your message comes back to you with a note saying it is undeliverable.

Wouldn't that be easier then to script for mass mailing and spam ?

Or there could be something that you check the user's name, or the possibility to find a user. Now I still have to have the correct user's name in order to find him in the first place. If I try to find the user Frederik Ram, I still won't find you and have no idea why. Maarten ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The messaging system is there to allow mappers to contact each other over edits they've made, in which case you always know their user name. Messaging isn't meant to be a full-fledged replacement for email or these mailing lists. That's what, err, email and mailing lists are for. If it helps, try to think of it like the User:Talk pages in MediaWiki. J. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
