This was previously talked about a few months ago in the following post http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=1034&PN=5 - http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=1034&PN=5 I was just wondering if anyone had thought of or created a Mod that allowed the Admin to Mass PM all users or users of certain groups in the forum. I know the previously talked about concern was if a forum had a 1000 members then a message must be stored for each forum user, but can't you just store one mass post and reference it to each forum user? ------------- PodcastPUP: http://podcastpup.com - http://podcastpup.com 808Talk: http://808Talk.com - http://808Talk.com 808TTV: http://808Talk.tv - http://808Talk.tv |

not a bad point. 1 table for users. 1 table for messages. 1 linking table (Many-to-many). Not as easy to alter an existing db structure though, as an 'm2m' wouldn't usually be considered when first designing it. ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |

Just something to let ya think about, Something like this mass PM would allow spamers to send out a crap loud of unwanted PM's to all the users on your forum, is this something that you would like? Anyways just something to let ya think about ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Well I doubt it would be a feature that admins would make available to everyone. ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |

I was thinking only allowing the admin or say moderators group. I think this would be a better idea to send out a forum wide message instead of using the mass email members section in the admin page. ------------- PodcastPUP: http://podcastpup.com - http://podcastpup.com 808Talk: http://808Talk.com - http://808Talk.com 808TTV: http://808Talk.tv - http://808Talk.tv |

If you haven't taken steps to secure an access db, it's possible/probable for someone to download it and harvest every email address in it. -------------
