Then i suggest to stop the PM Notifications. You are being notified of a new pm already.

Re: Private messages link should go into UCP
Agreed. Plus, you can see exactly how many unread (or new?) PMs you have there and people can use the link to write PMs to other people, too. It's not just for reading old PMs.keith10456 wrote:-1
Private Messages should remain as is. Members shouldn't have to dig through the UCP for quick access to Private Messages.
I also agree with hanakin that PMs shouldn't be part of the UCP, but that's another issue.

Re: Private messages link should go into UCP
You can already do that in the UCP -- UCP -> Board preferences -> Edit notification options.Dragosvr92 wrote:Then i suggest to stop the PM Notifications. You are being notified of a new pm already.
So two thumbs down to that. A little redundancy won't hurt. A little redundancy won't hurt.

I agree with DavidIQ here. It does not make much sense.

Re: Private messages link should go into UCP
I agree, I'd rather the notification link be removed; PM's are more important.DavidIQ wrote:-1. Just because I have notifications doesn't mean I look through them. Plus if I have a ton of notifications the PM one will just be lost in there. If you find it redundant then perhaps the notification should be removed, but not the PM link.

Re: Private messages link should go into UCP
Except when it's a notification of a PM. Then they are the same. That's the problem.Mess wrote:-1 Pms and notifications are not the same.

Re: Private messages link should go into UCP
Somebody already said you can disable it in the UCP or in the Settings link of the Notifications panel so this discussion is kind of pointless. If you don't like the notifications about PMs then turn it off. It's that simple.
