Contacts revamp with groups Started by: enkindle on Aug 14, '12 22:04

We were talking about redoing the contacts\friends list with groups.

-Each group would be able to have its only color\style.
-People would be able to put contacts in more than one group. (Not sure how styling would work though, if one person has two colors. Any ideas?)
-Possibly be able to mass mail each contact group.

I'm liking this. Would be easier for mailing a group of friends with the same information.

I like this as well.

I did intend on creating a suggestion like this once the Contact's/Notes had been decided.

I would suggest a group where you can add contacts where the person you added doesn't know you have as well.

Not too bothered about the colours, etc. But i'd definitely be happy to be able to mail a certain group of contacts just by clicking a button rather than typing all their names in individually.

enkindle.. maybe use symbols instead of colours for contacts?

Obviously it doesnt have to be these symbols but... +, -, x, *, & (have to make sure they're all common symbols used on most computers/laptops). If someone is in more than one of your groups then it will just show 2,3,or 4 symbols next to, or above their name (on your screen).

{The mass mail thing isn't a promise. I'll have to talk that one over with Izzy. Giving mass mail to every user is questionable.}

Report Post Tip

Coundown, that's not a bad idea with the symbols. We could possible even do little images. Not sure what of, but its a possibility.

Report Post Tip

Ugh. Chain posts, one possible pro\con (I'm not sure which) of the images is that when you copy\paste your online list it wont copy the images. That way people won't know who you have marked as friends.

I think symbols would be better has I know a few people who play have difficulties differentiating some colours.

Copy & pasting 60 seconds list isn't a problem, only takes a few seconds to copy to notepad and replace all symbols with nothing.

Myself being one of those as I'm colour blind :)

I can't see the difference between normal users and users in my crew, they look almost identical to me. Tt's only when i turn the brightness up on my laptop that i can make out the difference between them.

Too many drugs.

I like this, I really like this.

As far as the mass mailing side of thing goes, I assume the reason you wouldn't want to give every user mass mail abilities is because of spam, right?

How about making certain contact groups work like a friends list. You have to add them to the list, but before they get truly added, they have to confirm that they are ok with being on there.

There can be other groups that don't require confirmation, but you won't be able to mass mail to this group, mass mails will only be available to groups with confirmation enabled.

This would be a nice addition to contacts. Worth a shot.

Player Commision Thread: Contacts revamp with groups
Report Post Tip

I'm thinking something similar to distribution lists in outlook 

Report Post Tip

I might be very late to this discussion, but I think it's a good idea. We're discussing contacts, would it be possible without adding every member, to highlight fellow members of your home city? Yes I'm aware that I can add each person, but having them all show up in a off shade of the current green, or any other color i think would be a nice addition.
