UddelIM is the best Private Messaging system in Joomla hands down. But I admit that it seems to use a older version of messaging where when you reply it has the old message below which if I remember right that's called threaded message. But now days it seems both more efficient and easier to read if it was styled more like facebook's private message system.

When you receive a message and start your reply, the read message is above, kinda like a conversation in real life (display set up). Plus it takes up more space if each time you reply it saves an extra copy of the message. I attached a screen shot of this:



Or perhaps this set up is already possible? B)

Ah, I had not seen that post. In a screen shot I did not see avatars:



But perhaps those will come eventually in the new plugin? ;) Well looks like your doing good work for UddelIM. Very much appreciate it. :)

Yes, I think that avatars are not really necessary since you select a person and then you have only messages from or to this person in the thread.

I suppose it's the simplicity of how facebook messenger has it set up that catches my attention.

Anyways, I'll be happy to see the new features/appearance change you mention when they come out.

I also think it looks much better with the avatars instead of "Message from yourself to...." and "Message from...".

I also would prefer to see always the complete text...
